原历史性夏威夷寺庙于岛上的毛伊岛可能已升起在短短30年，而不是250 ，因为以前所假设的，科学家说。 The findings could significantly alter researchers' understanding of the pace of precontact sociopolitical change in the Pacific.结果，可大大改变研究者的认识步伐precontact社会政治变化，在太平洋地区。
Hawaiian genealogies and oral histories hold that sometime around 1600 A.D. a ruler named Pi'ilani united two opposing chiefdoms on Maui into a peaceful kingdom, marking the emergence of a religious state on the island.夏威夷族谱及口述历史的人士认为，一段时间围绕1600个专案直尺命名pi'ilani美国两种对立的酋长就毛伊岛变成一个和平，英国，标识的出现，是一个宗教国家在该岛上。
Archaeologists had been unable to confirm that sequence of events, however, in part because of the limitations of carbon dating.考古学家一直无法证实，事件的顺序，但是，这部分是因为局限性碳测年。
In the new work, Patrick V. Kirch and Warren D. Sharp of the University of California and Berkeley used another kind of radiometric technique involving thorium-230, rather than carbon-14, to date bits of branch coral that were collected from living reefs and left as divine offerings at seven different temples during construction.在新的工作中，帕特里克诉科尔和沃伦四尖锐的加州大学和加州大学伯克利分校使用的是另一种辐射技术涉及钍230 ，而不是碳十四，到今天为止位元科珊瑚被收集的，由活珊瑚礁离开，因为神的产品在7个不同的寺庙建筑。
Dates for these corals, which had been incorporated into walls and platform fill, all fell in a narrow range of 1565 to 1638 A.D., give or take a few years on either end.日期为这些珊瑚，其中已纳入墙壁和平台填土，都有所下降，在一个狭窄的范围内1565年至1638年广告中，给予或需时数年，要么结束。
Moreover, dates on the samples that best reflect the time they were harvested from the sea--those from the coral branch tips--ranged from 1608 to 1638 A.D., an interval of just 30 years.此外，日期，对样本最能反映，当时他们收割从海-那些从珊瑚科窍门-从1 6 08年至1 6 38年广告中，间隔仅3 0年。
These findings thus point to intensive temple-building during that time.这些调查结果，因此点，以密集的庙宇建设在这段时间。
Because temples served as centers for control of production and the collection of surplus goods, the team contends, it seems likely that the construction boom accompanied a profound shift in sociopolitical structure.因为庙宇担任中心，为控制生产和收集过剩货物，该团队争辩说，这似乎有可能建造景气伴随着一场深刻的转变，在社会政治结构。
Kirch and Sharp observe that the conquests described by local oral traditions coincide with these new dates, and would have more than doubled the size of the Maui polity to upwards of 2,360 square kilometers--the magnitude of expansion expected with the formation of an archaic state.科尔和敏锐的观察认为，征服形容当地的口头传说配合这些新的日期，并已增加了一倍以上规模的毛伊岛的政体，以向上的2360平方公里-规模扩张与预期的形成，是一种过时的国家。
"The temples provide tangible archaeological evidence of the speed with which a fundamental sociopolitical transition occurred in proto-historic Hawaii," the authors conclude. "寺庙提供有形的考古证据的快与慢的一项基本社会政治转型发生在原历史性夏威夷" ，作者总结。
Indeed, they note, it may have happened in the span of a single generation of Hawaiians.事实上，他们注意到，它可能发生在大跨度的单一一代的夏威夷人。
以上是我用GOOGLE翻译拷过来的.中文的语序很乱..大家自己看的时候稍微理一下..一些不懂的句子可以试着从中文看看吧~~ 呵呵。.
