After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago. |
dig, dug, dug – kopać scientist – naukowiec traces – ślady copper – miedziany wire – przewód, drut date back 100 years – pochodzić sprzed 100 lat come to the conclusion – dojść do wniosku ancestor – przodek network – sieć |

Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, British scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the UK newspapers read: "British archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the Scots." |
not to be outdone – aby nie być gorszym in the weeks that followed – za parę tygodni UK = United Kingdom – Zjednoczone Królestwo (Wielka Brytania i Irlandia Północna) headline – nagłówek conclude – dojść do wniosku advanced – zaawansowany |

One week later, "The Kerryman", a southwest Irish newsletter, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in peat bog near Tralee, Paddy O'Droll, a self taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing." |
newsletter – biuletyn report – donosić, komunikować, informować peat bog – torfowisko self taught archaeologist – aracheolog samouk |

Paddy has therefore concluded that 300 years ago Ireland had already gone wireless. |
therefore – zatem wireless – bezprzewodowy |
