介绍（中）	这个 wedjat 眼睛护身符与托特护身符和 djed 柱护身符一起被发现在木乃伊的左臂上（见 25.3.170a，b）。护身符被认为可以神奇地将其力量传递给佩戴者。这种力量通常来自它们的形状、材料、颜色和/或对它们的背诵。作为古埃及最受欢迎的护身符之一，wedjat眼代表荷鲁斯神的治愈之眼。它描绘了人类和猎鹰眼睛的组合，因为荷鲁斯经常与猎鹰联系在一起。它的古埃及名字wedjat的意思是"（再次）健全的那个"。在埃及神话中，荷鲁斯的眼睛被塞特神伤害或偷走，然后被透特恢复。结合之眼体现了治愈的力量，象征着重生。这种形状的护身符被认为可以保护佩戴者并将再生能力转移到他或她身上。它被生者和死者使用。
介绍（英）	This wedjat eye amulet was found on the left arm of the mummy together with a Thoth amulet and a djed pillar amulet (see 25.3.170a, b). Amulets were thought to magically transfer their power to the wearer. Such power often derived from their shape, material, color, and/or the recitations spoken over them. One of the most popular amulets in ancient Egypt, the wedjat eye represents the healed eye of the god Horus. It depicts a combination of a human and a falcon eye, since Horus was often associated with a falcon. Its ancient Egyptian name, wedjat, means "the one that is sound (again)." In Egyptian mythology Horus’ eye was injured or stolen by the god Seth and then restored by Thoth. The wedjat eye embodies healing power and symbolizes rebirth. An amulet in this shape was thought to protect its wearer and to transfer the power of regeneration onto him or her. It was used by the living as well as for the dead.
