商博良

商博良想，这是不是“拉美西斯”这个名字呢？

Was this , Champollion wondered , the name " Ramses " ?

还有很多工作要做，但商博良已经成功破解了密码。

A lot of work remained , but Champollion had cracked the code .

接着，在1822年，有人给商博良展示了一组象形文字，其中包含传统埃及名字。

Then , in 1822 , Champollion was shown a set of hieroglyphs that contain traditional Egyptian names .

商博良基于杨的研究成果，发现不同的象形文字拼写的是国王或王后的名字，像“亚历山大”或“克利奥帕特拉”。

Champollion built on Yang 's work , showing that different hieroglyphs spell the name of the kings or queens like Alexander or Cleopatra .

不像别的试图破解文字的学者，商博良恰好非常精通埃及古语。

You see , unlike any of other scholars who have tried to crack the code , Champollion happened to be fluent in Coptic .

开头的两个符号意义不明，但商博良知道，一直重复至右边尽头的象形文字代表“s”的音。

The first two of the symbols were unknown , but Champollion knew that the repeated hieroglyphs to the far right symbolized an ' s ' sound .
