they would have differed from person to person to some degree.

实际重量因人而异
A very important element,

还有一个非常重要的元素
he would have had a breast plate made of bronze,

那就是士兵还配有铜质的胸甲
perhaps as much as 40 pounds.

大概能有四十磅重
He would have snapped across his shins, greaves,

士兵可能会胫骨骨折所以还配有护胫甲
sort of like the shin guards that a catcher in baseball wears,

这有点像棒球接球手所穿戴的胫部的防具
also made of bronze.

同样的护胫甲也是铜质的
The shield itself, as I've told you

而盾牌就像我说过的
is made of a heavy wood,

是由沉重的木材制成
covered by a leather or bronze sheet about three feet across,

上面包裹有皮革或铜皮约三英尺宽
something in the neighborhood of 16 to 20 pounds

大概是十六到二十磅重
worth of shield and gripped as I told you before.

就像我刚才所说的拿起来很费劲
