| [43:41] | in this time period? | 秦始皇合葬? |

| [43:58] | If the mystery warrior was buried | 如果神秘武士被埋葬之時 |

| [44:26] | his sons all came to a bad end. | 公子們都沒有好下場 |
| [44:29] | So I’m still more inclined to believe that this tomb | 所以關於墓主的身分 |

| [1:05:34] | Given the tomb owner was young, | 既然墓主的年紀較輕 |
| [1:05:37] | it’s certainly possible that it might be Prince Gao. | 它當然就有可能是公子高的墓葬 |
| [1:05:41] | But we can’t say that for sure based on this. | 但我們也不能就此確認 |
