One day in 1953, Harry, a plumber, was working in a cellar in York, England when he suddenly caught sight of a Roman soldier on a horse. The horse, along with its rider, then proceeded to step through the cellar wall! Shortly after, more soldiers wearing helmets and carrying swords followed suit. Harry couldn"t help but notice that the soldiers seemed shorter than what would be expected, even for ancient Romans. The reason for this didn"t become apparent to him until he realized that their legs were positioned beneath the

warriors. The (1) [sudden] appearance of the Roman soldiers puzzled Harry, as he couldn"t understand how they had managed to (2) [traverse] through time and space. He cautiously approached one of the soldiers and asked him about their presence in modern-day York. The soldier looked at him with confusion, as if he didn"t understand the plumber"s language.
Harry wondered if his eyes were deceiving him or if he had stumbled upon some kind of elaborate reenactment. However, the (3) [bewildered] expressions on the faces of the soldiers indicated that they were just as shocked and (4) [disoriented] as Harry. He decided to investigate further and started talking to the soldiers, hoping to uncover the mystery of their arrival.
To communicate with the soldiers, Harry used a combination of gestures, simple words, and improvised signs. It took some time, but eventually, he was able to grasp the soldiers" message. They explained that while on the battlefield, a sudden (5) [earthquake] had occurred, causing a mysterious rift in time and space. They accidentally stumbled upon this rift and found themselves transported to the future, bewildered by the unfamiliar surroundings.
As Harry continued conversing with the soldiers, he started to notice some peculiar details. The soldiers possessed an impressive knowledge of Roman history, sharing tales of famous battles, emperors, and ancient customs. Harry couldn"t help but be amazed by their depth of (6) [knowledge].
Eventually, after hours of trying to communicate and make sense of the situation, Harry found a (7) [solution]. He realized that the only way to send the soldiers back to their own time was to recreate the conditions that had caused the rift. He explained his plan to the soldiers, who eagerly agreed to cooperate.
Harry gathered materials and recreated a small-scale earthquake, hoping that it would trigger the same phenomenon that brought the soldiers to the cellar. As the ground shook, the soldiers (8) [disappeared] one by one, leaving Harry standing alone in the cellar. He couldn"t help but feel a mix of relief and sadness, as he had grown fond of the courageous warriors.
The incident left a lasting impact on Harry, who became fascinated with history and archaeology. He dedicated his life to studying ancient civilizations and spent the rest of his days uncovering hidden mysteries from the past.
In conclusion, the (9) [unexpected] encounter with the Roman soldiers not only puzzled Harry but also ignited a passion within him, forever changing the course of his life.
Объяснение:
(1) Внезапное
Слово "appearance" (появление) указывает на то, что римские воины появились неожиданно. Поэтому, чтобы подчеркнуть это, используется слово "sudden".
(2) Проехать
Вид изначально указывает на то, что солдаты явились "через стену подвала", поэтому они пересекли пространство. Используется слово "traverse".
(3) Смятенный
Выражение "bewildered expressions" (смятенные выражения) указывает на то, что солдаты были сбиты с толку. Поэтому, чтобы описать их эмоциональное состояние, используется слово "bewildered".
(4) Оториентированный
Поскольку солдаты были перемещены в будущее, они были запутаны и не могли ориентироваться. Используется слово "disoriented" (запутанный).
(5) Землетрясение
Слово "earthquake" (землетрясение) указывает на то, что именно землетрясение привело к возникновению временного искажения.
(6) Знания
История, которую знали солдаты, впечатлила Гарри, поэтому используется слово "knowledge" (знания).
(7) Решение
Поскольку солдатов нужно было вернуть в прошлое, Гарри осознал, что единственное решение - воссоздать те же условия, что вызвали временной сдвиг.
(8) Исчезли
После реконструкции землетрясения солдаты постепенно исчезли, остался только Гарри.
(9) Неожиданная
Встреча с римскими солдатами была для Гарри неожиданной и изменила его жизнь. Поэтому, чтобы подчеркнуть это, используется слово "unexpected".
