Section Title: 6.文章修订

The reading passage presents evidence supporting the idea that Portuguese sailors reached Australia in the 1520s, including European maps, knowledge of marsupials, and artifacts found in Australia. However, the lecture casts doubt on these claims by providing counterarguments.

Firstly, the reading asserts that a series of European maps from around 1550 depicted Australia with Portuguese place names, which some historians consider as reliable evidence of Portuguese visits to the continent. The lecture disputes this by stating that these maps were likely based on second-hand stories from Asian sailors rather than direct observations. This suggests that the Portuguese sailors may not have visited Australia themselves and instead relied on hearsay to create their maps.

Secondly, the reading highlights a European book published in 1593 featuring an illustration of a marsupial, implying that Europeans had been to Australia before its publication. The lecture counters this claim by pointing out that not all marsupials are native to Australia; some can be found in North and South America. Since Europeans had already explored these regions by 1593, their knowledge of marsupials could have come from there instead of Australia.

Lastly, the reading mentions artifacts such as European-made metal keys found in Northern Australia as evidence for European presence in the 1500s. The keys were dated based on soil analysis from their location. However, the lecture challenges this dating method by revealing that recent reanalysis using improved techniques has shown it is impossible to accurately date the keys using soil samples. Consequently, there is no certainty regarding when these keys were dropped at their location.

In summary, the lecture effectively casts doubt on each piece of evidence presented in the reading passage regarding early European visits to Australia by offering alternative explanations and questioning the reliability of presented data. (297 words)
