Janet: Hi, it’s me again, Janet Li. I’m
still a student at the University of
Oxford in
England. But I’m not in Oxford right now. And I
haven’t
gone back home to China either. It’s
the long vacation now, and
believe it or not,
it’s the middle of summer. I’m spending my
summer in one of the world’s greatest cities.
I’m in London, home
to the Houses of
Parliament, Big Ben, Tower Bridge…and the
double-decker bus. I want to find out what
it’s like to live in this
busy, lively city.
So I’m working for London Time Off, a website
about what’s on in London. This is Joe…, he’s
my boss, and this is
Andy, who is a reporter.
And what’s my job? Well, I don’t know yet,
because it’s my first day. But I’m meant to be
shadowing Andy, oh,
what I mean is, I’m going
to be helping him. So can you tell me
something about London, Andy?
Andy: It’s
the greatest city in the world. .
Joe: Except
for New York!
Andy: New York? Don’t make me
laugh!
Joe: And your point is…?
Andy:
Look, if you want my opinion, London is greater
than New York…
Joe: No, I don’t want your
opinion, thank you very much. It’s a fact.
Andy: A fact! Are you serious?
Janet: And here we are in London, probably the
greatest city in the
world.
Andy: What?
Probably? Excuse me, I prefer to deal with this
myself…
Joe: Ah, dream on, Andy………
珍妮特:嗨,又是我,珍妮特.李。我目前还是一位英国牛津大学的
学生,但我现在不在牛津,也还没有
回中国的家。现在在放
长假,而且不管你信不信,现在是夏天的中期。我现在正在
世界上最棒的
城市之一里度过我的夏天。我在伦敦,它是英
国国会大厦、大本钟、塔桥…和双层巴士的故乡。我想知道
住在如此热闹和生气勃勃的城市里是什么感觉。所以,我现
在在为伦敦下班网效劳。它是一个报
道伦敦时事的网站。这
是乔,他是我的老板,而他是安迪,一位记者。我的工作是
什么呢?这个
我也不知道,因为今天是我的第一天,但我会
注定跟随着安迪。喔,我的意思是,我将会协助他。那么安
迪,你能告诉我一些关于伦敦的事情吗?
安 迪: 伦敦是世界上最棒的城市。
乔 : 除了纽约以外!
安 迪: 纽约?别逗我笑了!
乔 :
那你的观点是… ?
安 迪: 注意,如果你真的需要我的观点,伦敦确实比纽约棒…
乔 : 不,我不需要你的观点,非常感谢!这是事实!
安 迪:
事实!你是当真的吗?
珍妮特:我们现在在伦敦,或许是世界上最棒的城市。
安 迪:
什么?或许?对不起,我宁可自己处理这个…
乔 : 啊,安迪,继续做你的美梦吧...
Conversation 2
Janet:So when did you
start working at London Time Off?
Andy: About
a year ago.
Janet: And I hope you don’t mind
my asking ,but do you like working
here?
Andy: Yes, I love it. I mean, Joe and I get
along quite well. He drives me
crazy
sometimes, because he’s my boss, and I wish I
earned a bit
more money, but…I think my job is
really cool, because I get to
see everything
that’s happening in London. And I didn’t want to
join the rat race.
Janet: What do you mean
by the rat race?
Andy: You know, doing the
same thing day in day out, and not doing
anything creative, or having any time to enjoy
life. It’s the last
thing I want to do.
Janet: So do you mind telling me what you do
exactly?
Andy: Basically, we check out new
events on the London music scene,
you
know, new clubs, the latest plays and films, as
well as
exhibitions in galleries and museums.
Then we go and film
interviews with the
musicians or the actors, or anyone who has
anything to do with the event.
Janet: Ok,
then what happens?
Andy: We edit the
interviews, and then we upload it all onto the
website.
We get 200,000 hits a week. We’re
London’s biggest listings site.
Janet: Can I
ask you something else?
Andy: Fire away.
Janet: What are we going to do now?
Andy:
I need to go back to my flat, and get my research.
Then we’ve got
an interview to do. Let’s get
the tube back to my place.
Janet: And what
about Joe?
Andy: Well, he’s supposed to be on
his way to the National Theatre, to do
an
interview with the director of a new play. But I
kind of hope he
gets lost on the way. Then
he’ll discover what a great place
London is.
Janet: I don’t understand.
Andy: I’m
joking! Come on, let’s go!
珍妮特:那么你是什么开始在伦敦下班网上班的呢?
安 迪: 大约一年前。
珍妮特:我希望你不要介意我的发问,你喜欢在这里工作吗?
安 迪: 是,我非常喜欢。我
的意思是,乔跟我相处得挺好的。虽然
有时我快被他搞疯了,因为他是我的老板,而且我又希望能
多赚点钱,但…我认为我的工作是十分有趣的,因为我能够
看到伦敦正在发生的事情。再说,我不愿意
自己处在商业中
无意义的竞争里。
珍妮特:你说的商业中无意义的竞争是什么意思?
安 迪: 你知道,日复一日地做着同样的事情并且不做任何有创意的
事或拥有任何可以享受生
活的时间。这是我最不想做的事
情。
珍妮特:那你介意告诉我你具体都做些什么吗?
安 迪: 基本上,除了新的俱乐部、最新的戏剧和电影,还有美术馆
和博物馆里的展览,你知
道,我们会关注伦敦乐坛的新动向。
然后,我们去采访音乐家或演员或任何与此事件有关的人并
将此采访的内容录下来。
珍妮特:好的,那接下来呢?
安 迪: 我们编辑这些采访然后将
它们全部都上传到网站上。我们一
周就取得了二十万个网路点击数。我们是伦敦最大的数据站
点
。
珍妮特:我能问你其他事情吗?
安 迪: 尽管问吧。
珍妮特:我们现在要做什么?
安 迪:
我需要回到我的公寓去拿我的研究调查。然后,我们得去做
个采访。让我们乘地铁到我家去吧。
珍妮特:那乔怎么办?
安 迪: 他现在应该在去国家剧院的路上。他要去给一位新戏剧的导
演做个采访。但我有点儿希望他在途中迷路。然后,他将会
发现伦敦是多么棒的一个地方。
珍妮特:我不明白。
安 迪: 我是在开玩笑!快点,我们走吧!
Outside view
Happiness is not what most
students have in mind when they
think of
school. Yet a school in Germany has developed a
novel way to
raise the morale of its students,
by teaching happiness in classes. Students
at
Heidelberg’s Willy Hellpach School of Economics
are learning how to
achieve happiness as an
official subject, alongside mathematics and
languages. This is the first school in Germany
to develop a happiness
course, intended for
17- to 19-year-olds preparing for university
entrance
exams.
Ernst Fritz-
Schubert, the school’s principal, is on a mission
to
change things.
Ernst Fritz-Schubert: It
was my idea-I’ve been at this school for
31 years, and I feel that school and
happiness have to be reunited. These
are two
terms which are not considered together, because
one does not
connect school with happiness. In
some cases school comes behind the
dentists on
the popularity scale and we should try to push
schools’
popularity a bit.
It has been
proved by science that a happy student can learn
more
than an unhappy one, Unhappy students can
concentrate for a while but
do not use all
their potential. The happiness classes are
intended to help
students fulfill their
potential. They will help the students live happy
and
prosperous lives.
The classes aim to
help students in achieving a positive state of
mind, by using all their own resources and
boosting their self-esteem. In
addition, they
hope classes will increase self-awareness and
physical
comfort. Happiness classes are also
intended to make students more
aware about
their environment and society as a whole. During
classes
students are encouraged to express
themselves and observe their peers’
behavior.
The classes are taught by Bjoern Bonn, an actor
and visiting
lecturer.
Bjoern Bonn: One of
the exercises I do is to have one of the
students walk across the classroom, with the
others copying his walk.
Through this
exercise, I hope they learn something about
themselves.
Why do I move like this? How do
others see my way of walking? I hope
that with a higher body awareness they
ideally –of course it will take
time-achieve a
higher self-consciousness which could lead to
happiness.
Wolfgang Lang: We give these
classes to students to help them
find
happiness. Now the question is: How do I define
happiness?
Happiness is for example a
strengthening of the personality. We are
providing helpful suggestions to make stronger
people. People that ask
“Who am I as a person?
Am I really happy?”
Pascal Gemble: It takes
time and everybody has to find happiness
for
themselves. You cannot go into a coaching lesson
and say teach me
happiness. One can only get
indications from teachers or the visiting
lecturers. There are also happiness
scientists, if we could talk to one of
those,
I am sure he would have some hints.
Yosma
Pinar Cetinkaya: You would think that the teachers
are
writing definitions on the board. Not
true. Those who want happiness
have to find it
for themselves, you cannot really learn that.
So what does it take to be happy and can you
learn it at school?
当学生想起学校,快乐不是多数人想到
的。目前,德国一所学校
已经创造了一种新颖的通过在课堂上教授快乐的方法来提升其学生
们的
精神面貌。 Heidelberg ‘s Willy Hellpach School of
Economics 正
在研究怎样将快乐实现为与数学和语言一样的官方课程。这是德国第
一
家开设快乐课程的学校,意欲为17至19岁的学生作高考的准备。
Ernst Fritz-Schubert,学校的校长,肩负着变革的使命。
Ernst Fritz-Schubert:“这是我的想法—我已经在这所学校呆了31
年,我认为
学校和快乐必须被重组,这是不被认为该在一起的两部分,
因为学生不把学校与快乐联系起来。在某些情
况下,学校在受欢迎程
度上落后于牙医,我们应该努力推动学校的受欢迎度。
科学
已经证明一个快乐的学生能比一个不快乐的学生学到更
多。不快乐的学生能在一段时间内集中注意力,但
不能发挥他们所有
的潜力,这些快乐课程致力于帮助学生发挥他们的潜能,能帮学生生
活在快乐
繁荣的生活中。”
这种课程旨在帮助学生们通过用他们自己的特长和激励他们的自
尊来达到思
想的积极状态。另外,他们希望课程会增加自觉意识和身
体素质,快乐课程还致力于让学生意识到环境与
社会是作为一个整体
存在。课堂期间学生被鼓励表达自我和关注同伴的行为,课程由演员
和客座
讲师 Bjoern Bonn讲授。
Bjoern Bonn:“我做的其中一个练习是让
学生走过教室,其他学
生模仿他的步伐。通过这个练习,我希望他们从自己身上学得一些东
西‘
为什么我像这样行动?其他人怎样评价我走路的方式?’我希望
伴随着更高的身体意识他们原则上——当
然这需要时间——实现更
高的抵达快乐的自我意识。”
Wolfgang Lang:“我
们为学生们开设这些课程来帮助他们找寻快
乐,现在问题是:我该如何给快乐下定义?比如快乐是个性的
加强。
我们正提供有帮助的建议来使学生更强健,学生会问:我是一个怎样
的人
?我真的高兴吗?”
Pascal Gembe:“这需要花时间,每个人必须为自己找寻快乐,<
br>你不可能去一个训练课说:‘教给我快乐’。一个学生只能从教师或客
座讲师那得到暗示,另外也
有研究快乐的科学家,如果我们能与他们
之一交流,我确信他能给一些暗示。”
Yosma Pinar Cetinkaya:“你会认为老师在黑板上写下快乐的定
义,那不正确。
哪些想得到快乐的学生必须为他们自己寻找,你不能
真正通过学习得到。”
既然如此,得到快乐的代价是什么?你能在学校学到它吗?
Listening in
Passage one
Interviewer: Can you tell
me…how do you think you have changed as
you
have matured?What things have had a major
influence
on you?
Speaker 1 : Well, let
me think…I suppose going to university had a
big impact on my life. It made me much more
open-minded.
I met so many different types of
people there with weird and
wonderful ideas
and it changed the way I see the world. I’m
much more tolerant now… It made me a more
rounded
person.
Interviewer: Great, and
had any particular person had a central role in
forming your character?
Speaker 1:
I guess that’d have to be my grandfather. I was
very close to
him, and he taught me to stand
up for my beliefs. He was
always telling me
about this…
Interviewer: So what people or
events have had an impact on your life?
Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year
made me grow up and see
both the beauty of the
world and, well…just the generosity of
ordinary people. I traveled a lot around Asia
and you know, I
found that in some of the
poorest countries, like Cambodia
and Laos,
people share whatever little they have, and they
possess a real joy for life. It’s probably
made me a less
selfish person.
Interviewer: Interesting…so you would
recommend that young people
take a gap year to
discover themselves and the world?
Speaker 2:
Definitely. It gives you an opportunity o learn
about the
world beyond the one you grew up in
and I found it really…
Interviewer: Could you
tell me what things in your life have had the
greatest influence in forming your
personality?
Speaker 3: Well…a couple of years
ago I was on a reality TV show where
a group
of young people all lived in a house together.
Each
week some one was voted off by the
audience. I got down to
the final three! I
suppose being on the show and seeing how
the other contestants behaved made me
realize how selfish
and spiteful some people
can be just to get what they want. I
also
realized it’s best to just be yourself in life. If
you pretend
to be someone different people
will eventually see through
the lies.
Interviewer: Right…And how did you feel when
you were eventually
voted off?
Speaker 3:
Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know, a
slight
regret that I didn’t win because I kind
of…
Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one
thing do you think that has
had the biggest
impact on your life?
Speaker 4: Hmm, that’s
a difficult question. But I think helping
victims of the tsunami in 2004 had a very
great impact on me.
I’m half Thai and I’d just
arrived in Thailand for a family
Christmas
holiday. When I heard the news I knew I had to
help-you couldn’t not. I ended up acting as an
interpreter for
a group of volunteer doctors.
It was an incredibly difficult
time but you
know, even in the middle of such a horrific
tragedy there is still a huge amount of g
kindness.
Interviewer: That’s amazing! And has
it changed the way you view your
future…
采访者 你能不能告诉我…你认为在你渐渐成熟的过程中产生了怎
样的变化呢
?什么事情对你产生了主要的影响?
发言人1 嗯,让我想想… 我认为上大学对我的生活产生了重大
的影
响。大学生活让我的思想更加开明。我在那遇到了太多不同
类型的人,他们有着奇特而又令
人称赞的想法。这让我改变
了我看世界的方式。我现在宽容多了…
上大学让我成为了一
个更加全面的人。
采访者
太棒了…那有没有一些特殊的人在你的性格塑造上产生主
要影响呢?
受访者1
我觉得这个人应该是我的祖父。我和他非常亲近,是他教
会了我要坚持自己的信仰。他总是这么和我说…
采访者 那什么人或事对你的生活产生了重要的影响呢?
受访者2 我认为在我的空档年旅
行让我逐渐成长,让我同时看见了
世界的美丽和…单单是普通人的慷慨。我去亚洲游玩了很多
地
方,你知道的,我发现在一些最贫困的国家,像柬埔寨和
老挝,人们会分享他们所拥有的一切,无论多少
。因此他们
拥有对生活最真的快乐。这很可能让我成为一个不那么自私
的人。
采访者:很有趣。所以你建议年轻人在大学前的那一年里去发现自己
和整个世界么?
受访者2::当然了,它能够给你一个机会去了解你生活环境之外的世
界,而且我觉得它很……
采访者:你介意告诉我,在你的生活中,什么事情对你的人格的形成
起了最重要
的影响么?
受访者3:恩,几年前,我参加一个电视真人秀的时候,年轻人都住
在同一个房子
里。每一个星期,都会有人根据观众的投票而
离开。我坚持到了最后三名!我想通过参加这次活动,以及
观察其他参赛者的行为,让我认识到了一个人为了达到他的
目的,可以多么的自私与居心叵测。
同时我也认识到了在生
活中,最好做自己。如果你试图去做其他不同于自己的人,
别人最终会看
穿这个谎言。
采访者:那么,当你最后被投票要离开的时候,你是什么感觉?
受访者3:说实话,我感觉如释重负。但是你知道,还会有一点儿遗
憾,我有些……
采访者:那么你可以告诉我,在你的生活中,什么事情对你起到了最
大的影响么?
受
访者4:恩,这是个很难回答的问题。但是我想在2004年的时候
帮助海啸受难者给我了巨大的影响。
我有一半的泰国血统,
那时我刚刚到达泰国去参加家庭的圣诞聚会。当我听到这个
消息的时候,
我知道我必须去帮助他们——你不可能什么都
不做。我最终成为一名医生小组的口译员。那是一个十分艰
难的时期,但是你知道,即使是在这样巨大的灾难之中,仍
然会有很多人性的善良。
采访者:真的很震惊!那么它改变了你对未来的想法么?
Passage two
Tony: Talking to us
today in our Life Choices series is Joan Robinson,
an
academic counselor at Manchester
University. She gives advice to
school
students on choosing the right subject to study at
university.
Joan, welcome to the show.
Joan: Thanks Tony.
Tony: So Joan, what do
our listeners need to think about when choosing a
course? It’s a huge, potentially life-changing
decision, isn’t it?
Joan: Yes. I generally
give students advice in two areas. Firstly, know
yourself, and secondly, think to the future.
Tony: When you say “know yourself” what do you
mean?
Joan: Basically, I mean evaluate your
own personal strengths and
weaknesses, your
personality traits and the things you like.
Tony: I see…So how can our listeners do this?
Joan: Well, start by asking yourself questions
to help reflect on your life
so far. For
example, what subjects are you good at? Are you an
organized and self-disciplined person? Are you
confident and
outgoing? Do you like working
with others in a team or do you
prefer working
alone? These kinds of questions will help you
discover more about yourself.
Tony:
Sounds like good advice. How about your second
point regarding
the future?
Joan:
Well, your choice of major subject is likely to
have a significant
impact on your future
career so it’s important to look into this
carefully. I recommend you check not only
which academic
subjects will help you get into
a particular area of work, but also
look
carefully at what universities offer. Each
university has its
strengths so try to choose
one that is the best in your chosen field.
Find out what links the department has to
related industries and
leading companies in
it.
Tony: Good point. Now I’d like to take
some calls from our listeners.
First up we
have James on the line. Hi, James! How can we
help?
James: Hi. I’m interested in career in
IT and I’d like to ask Joan whether
she thinks
it’s better to go to a highly respected
university, like
Oxford, or to study somewhere
that has more of a vocational focus?
Joan:
Well, James, you know it really depends on what
you expect to get
out of a university and how
you see your future. Basically a
handful of
the brightest graduates are picked from the top
universities around the world to join the
leading IT companies. So
I’d say if you’re a
high-flyer then this is the route that might be
for
you. But if you are looking for a more
mainstream career then you
should consider a
course that helps you acquire practical,
transferable skills that you can use in the
workplace…and look at
which universities have
the best levels of graduate recruitment for
the kind of job you are aiming for.
James: I see! Thanks a lot. That really helps
me out…
Tony:今天我们生活选择栏目的嘉宾是曼彻斯特大学的学校顾问乔恩·罗宾逊。她将会给学生们一些在大学里如何去选择正确的
学科的建议。乔恩,欢迎来到我们的节
目。
Joan: 谢谢,托尼。
Tony:那么乔恩,我们的听众在选择课程时需要考虑些
什么?这是一
个重大的,可能改变生活的选择,对吗?
Joan:是的。我一般给学生们两个
方面的建议。第一,要了解自己;
第二,要对未来持有看法。
Tony:你说的“了解自己”,具体是什么意思?
Joan:基本上,我的意思是要评价自己的优缺点、性格特征和兴趣。
Tony:明白。那么我们的听众要怎么做到这一点呢?
Joan:目前,要从自我反思开始
。例如,你擅长哪一科?你是不是一
个有条理的,能自律的人?你是不是自信的,开朗的?你喜欢
在一个团队中与别人合作还是孤军奋战?这些问题能帮助你
更多地了解自己。
Tony:听起来就是个好建议。那你的第二个关于未来的建议呢?
Joan:你选择的主修
课程很有可能对你以后的工作有重大的影响,所
以,仔细地对专业进行调查是很重要的。我要求的不仅仅
是调
查哪一个专业能让你找到好工作,而且要仔细地查阅一下学校
提供的资源。
每一所大学都有自己的特色,所以要试着选择在
你选择范围内的最好的一所。并且要找到那一所大学与相
关工
厂和首席公司之间的关系。
Tony:好主意。现在我们进入到听众热线的环节。第一个
连接上的听
众是詹姆斯。詹姆斯你好!我们有什么能帮助你的?
James:你好。我对IT
行业很感兴趣,我想问一下乔恩,她认为进入
一所受到尊重的学校,例如牛津大学好,还是选择一所更加
注
重技术实践的学校好?
Joan:很好,詹姆斯,你知道这完全决定于你想要从大学里得到
什么
还有你对未来的看法。基本上,大把的精英都是从世界顶尖高
校中被挑选出来进入到领先世
界的IT公司工作。我想说,如
果你是一个有野心的人,这可能是一条属于你的路。但是,如
果
你正在寻找主流行业,那么你应该考虑一门能帮助你锻炼在
工作中有用处的实践能力与可传递能力的课程
,和比较一下在
哪一间大学里,你的目标专业的就业率最高。
James:明白了!非常感谢,这些建议真的让我豁然开朗。

Janet
Hey, look at that! It’s just like I’ve seen it in
the films!
Andy Welcome to London, my
hometown. We are in Shoutwark,
south of the
river. there’s London bridge off to your left, and
there’s Tower Bridge.
Janet I’m really
impressed. How old is it?
Andy It’s only
about 120 years old.
Janet well, that’s
quite old.
Andy the London Docks
used to be around this area. What happened
was
that about three or four times a day, they raised
Tower
Bridge, so the bigger ships could come
right into London. But
because they couldn’t
go under London bridge, they had to
stop and
unload here.
Janet Does Tower Bridge still
open?
Andy well, not so often. When I was
a kid, I think I saw tower
bridge go up fairy
often, all the traffic had to wait for the ships
to pass through the bridge. Anyway, just this
side of London
bridge were lots of warehouses,
where they kept their cargo.
But during the
second world war, there was lots of bombing
over London…
Janet yes, I read about
that…the Blitz?
Andy that’s right. And
even when I was a kid, I remember that
many of
the buildings were still damaged. But in the late
1980s and 90s, this whole area was
redeveloped, you can see
for yourself, it’s a
trendy place to live now.
Janet is the
river thames still polluted?
Andy well, it
certainly used to be polluted. I remember it had a
very
distinctive smell, if you fell in, they
used to take you to
hospital.
Janet
that’s sounds revolting!
Andy yes,
but in the 1960s, they cleaned it up, and in fact
it’s now
one of the cleanest city rivers in
the world.

珍妮特
嘿,看那!和我在电影里看到的一样啊 !
安迪 欢迎来到我的故乡伦敦。我们现在是在河的
南边
---southwark,在你的左边是伦敦大桥,那边是伦敦塔桥。
珍妮特
真让人叹为观止啊!他有多长的历史了?
安迪 只有大概120年吧。
珍妮特
已经很久了。
安迪 轮的码头以前就在这附近,他们以前每天都会吧塔桥升起
来三四
次,以便让大船进入伦敦,但船又不能通过伦敦大
桥,所以只能在这停下来下货了。
珍妮特
塔桥现在还会开放吗?
安迪 嗯,偶尔吧。我小的时候经常看到塔桥升起来,当时所有
的车都会停下来等桥下的船通过。伦敦桥这边还有许多他
们用来存放货物的仓库,但伦敦在二战期间遭
到了许多轰
炸。
珍妮特 是的,我在书上看到过,德国空袭,对吧?
安迪 没
错,甚至在我小的时候,还有许多遗留下来的被毁建筑,
但在80年代后期到90年代,这边整个区域都
重建了。你
看,现在这已经是一个很时髦的居住地了!
珍妮特
泰晤士河现在还是污染的吗?
安迪
以前是,记得以前这有股很特别的味道,你一旦掉下去,
就会被送去医院。
珍妮特
听起来有点恶心。
安迪
是的,但60年代已经被清理干净了,实际上它现在已经是
世界上最干净的河流之一了。
Conversion 2
Janet It is very different
from the parts of London I know.
Andy The
thing about Southwark is that it’s a typical
suburb of London,
full of old buildings and
shops. And this is where I grew up. I
used to
live in that building there.
Janet It’s
amazing. It looks very old.
Andy Yes, it’s
about 80 years old
Janet And where did you go
to school?
Andy Let me see. Yes , it was
about a mile away from here. From
about the
age of eight, I used to go by bike. We all made
our way
to school on our own, meeting up with
friends along the way
until there was a large
gang of us kids as we got closer to school.
These days parents are much more protective
and take their kids
to school by car. It’s
safer, but it’s not as much fun.
Anyway …where
was I?
Janet You were telling me
about your schooldays.
Andy That’s right.
Anyway, I stayed at school until I was 16,and then
I
went to a college of further education, and
did my A levels. And
after that, I decided to
go to university.
Janet Your parents must
have been proud of you.
Andy Yes, I think so.
I was the first person in my family to go to uni.
Janet That’s fascinating.
Andy And
what about you?
Janet Oh, it was a typical
childhood in Anshan, nothing much to tell.
Andy But I have no idea what a typical
childhood is like in China.
Janet OK, I
will tell you. Let me think…
Andy Oh, hang
on! Do you mind waiting here for a minute? Let me
go
up to my flat and get my research, and then
you can tell me
about it while we’re on our
way back to the studio.
Janet OK
Andy
Back in a minute…
珍妮特 这和我看到的伦敦的其他地方很不一样啊。
安迪 守特瓦是一个很典型的伦敦郊区,这有许多古老的建筑和商
场。这是我长大的地方
,我以前就住在那栋楼里。
珍妮特 哇!看起来很古老。
安迪
是的,有大概80年了吧。
珍妮特 对了,你去哪上学的?
安迪
让我想想… 对了,离这大概一里远。八岁起我就开始骑车
上学,我们都是自己去的。一路上我们会碰到
很多同学,到
学校的时候已经是一大帮人了。而现在的父母过度的保护自
己的孩子,每天送他们
上学,这当然安全些,不过没有趣。
而且……我说道哪了?
珍妮特 你在讲你的学生时代。
安迪
对了,而且我在学校呆到16岁后又进了进修学校,并且参
加了大学入学考试。后来我又决定上大学了。
珍妮特 你父母一定为你感到骄傲吧!
安迪
我想是吧,在家里我是第一个上大学的。
珍妮特 你太棒了。
安迪
你呢?你怎么样?
珍妮特 噢,那是在鞍山一个很典型的童年,没什么太多可讲。
安迪
但还不知道在中国典型的童年是什么样的啊!
珍妮特 好吧,我来告诉你,让我想想……
安迪 噢,你先停下,在这等我一下好吗?我先回宿舍拿下调研资
料,然后在回录音室的
路上你再慢慢讲给我听。
珍妮特 好吧。
安迪 我马上回来。

Passage1
One of the
strangest feelings I’ve ever had was when I
returned by
chance to a place where I’d been
happy as a child. My husband and I
were
visiting some friends for the weekend-----they
lived about 200
kilometers away. We were
driving along when I suddenly saw a church in
the distance that I recognized. My favorite
aunt had lived very near it on a
farm that my
brother and I used to visit once a year with our
parents.
We were city kids, brought up in the
middle of London, and this was a
working farm
-----the real thing-----with cows in cowsheds,
fields with
ponds and a muddy yard full
of smelly pigs-----we had the run of the
whole
place-----it was just paradise for us.
And
then-----there was the food-----home-made jam and
bread and
cakes, milk fresh from the cow. And
my aunt Lottie-----a farmer’s
wife-----and her
husband, uncle George and their kids, Katie and
Ben, our
two cousins who my brother and I
really got on with. It was heaven that
week we
used to spend there. They moved from the farm when
I was…
how old? ----- about 14. So I’d never
been back or seen it again.
Anyway, there we
were, and I’d just seen the church-----, so we
turned off and drove down this really narrow
lane. And before I knew it
we were in front of
Aunt Lottie’s farm. The extraordinary thing was
that it
hadn’t changed------ not one tiny bit.
It was a lovely old place with a typical
country cottage garden, full of
flowers. There
were lots of barns and sheds-----they were next to
-----next
to the farm. And you know, I can’t
even begin to describe the feeling I
had
standing there. It was-----oh, what was it? an
incredibly powerful
feeling of longing-----
nostalgia for the past-----for times I’d been very
very happy. But it was the past. I hadn’t been
there for 20 years and I
couldn’t go back, so
also I had a feeling of huge sadness, that I
couldn’t
have those times again. And-----at
the same time-----great sweetness,
because
those times had been so happy, so innocent-----
because I was a
child. So there was this
extraordinary mix-----of longing, sadness and
sweetness, all at the same time. It was
the strangest feeling I’ve ever had.

我曾经有过的最奇怪感觉就是当我偶然间来到我童年时十分快乐
的地方。当时我和丈夫在周末去
看望朋友们,他们都住在200公里外
的地方。就在我们沿路开车的时候,我突然看见了在远处有个熟悉
的
教堂,我最爱的婶婶曾经住在附近的农场,爸妈每年都带我和哥哥去
那里。
我们我
无法再拥有曾经的那段时光。但同时,我心中又如此甜蜜,
只因那时的我是那样开在伦敦市中心长大,是
城里的孩子,而这个农
场又是一个真正的劳作的农场,那里有住着奶牛的牛舍,带池塘的耕
地,
满是臭猪的泥院子。我们在整个农场里疯跑,那里就像是我们的
天堂。
然后,就是吃的,有自
制的果酱、面包、蛋糕和刚挤出的新鲜的
牛奶。我的婶婶Lottie和她的丈夫,也就是我的叔叔,以

子-----我们的两个侄子Katie和Ben,我和哥哥跟他们都相处很好。
那
里是我们曾经渡过每一天的天堂。但是,他们从农场搬走了,当我,
呃,多大的时候?呃….大概是14
岁的时候吧。所以我再也没回去过
或是看见过。
无论怎样,我们来了,我又看见了那个教堂,
于是我们转弯开进
这条很窄的小道。但我们不知道的是我们到了Lottie的农场前面,更

奇妙的是它没有变,一点儿也没有。
那是一个可爱的有着满是鲜花的旧式传统乡村别墅
花园。很多很
多的仓库和小屋,一个一个的在农场附近。你要知道,我甚至不知如
何描述我站在
那里的心情。那种心情,哦,是什么心情?一种难以置

------对曾经美好时光的留恋。然而,
那已成为过往,我已经离开那里20年了,我之后也从没回

Passage2
Script
Interviewer: So what's
your first memory of school, Kevin?
Kevin: I
was really looking forward to school, I remember
that, I just
couldn't wait. Yeah, Johnny, my
brother, was a year older than
me and he
seemed so grown-up, with his red blazer and smart
shoes. And I wanted to go to school and be
grown-up too. I don't
remember much of the
first day actually, apart from this little boy
lying on the floor and screaming and screaming
and me thinking
what a baby he was.
Interviewer: Right! What about you, Eva?
Eva: I just have this one memory of this coat
rack with all our coats.
And I was looking for
my peg which had a little picture of an
elephant next to it. I remember I was
crying because I wanted to
go home and I
couldn't get my coat on. I was crying so much and
then the teacher came and helped me.
Interviewer: OK, so what about your first best
friend at school?
Kevin: Oh, yeah, well,
Steve, I remember him, because he's still my best
friend!
Interviewer: Still your best
friend!
Eva: That's so great!
Kevin:
Yeah, we didn't know each other before we started
school but we
became really good friends and
so did our mums. Our families
ended up going
on holiday together and that kind of thing. But we
used to fight a lot, Steve and I, and the
teachers used to get very
cross with us. But
we were just having fun.
Interviewer: Cool!
And what about you, Eva?
Eva: My best friend
was a girl called Robina. She had short blond
hair, I
remember I thought she looks like an
angel. We sat next to each
other and held
hands and played fairies in the playground. She
left
in Year 3 and I cried for days.
Interviewer: Oh, how sad! So what about the
day you left school? How
was that?
Eva: I
had a lot of mixed feelings, I remember walking
home with this
amazing feeling of freedom, you
know, no more rules, no more
bossy
teachers. But I also felt pretty sad, because I'd
had some
good times. I was in a group of girls
who were so supportive of
each other.
Kevin: I couldn't wait to leave, I was
counting the days.I just wanted to
get a job,
get a life, earn some cash. The day I left, I went
out to
celebrate with a couple of my mates and
--had a very good time!

采访人:那么你对学校的第一印象是什么呢,凯文?
凯文:我真的很期待去学校,我记得当时
我都等不及了。是的,我哥
哥强尼只比我大一岁,但他穿上他的红色夹克衫和时髦的鞋
子,看上
去那么成熟。于是我也想去学校,然后变得成熟起来。
事实上我对开学第一天的印象不是很深,只记得有
个小男孩躺
在地板上不停地哭闹,我觉得他真像个小宝宝。
采访人:是呀!那你呢,伊娃?
伊娃:我只对那个挂满我们外套的外衣架有记忆。那时我一直在找我
的桩,它的旁边有一张大象
的小图片。我记得当时我因为想回
家却穿不上外套而哭的很厉害,以至于后来引来了老师帮我。
采访人:好吧,那你们上学后第一个好朋友怎么样了?
凯文:嗯,史蒂夫,我记得他,因为他到现在还是我最好的朋友!
采访人;还是你最好的朋友!
伊娃:那太好了!
凯文:是呀!我们
在开学前并不认识,但无论我们俩还是我们的妈妈
都成了好朋友。我们两家常常一起度假什么的。但以前
史蒂夫
和我两个人经常打架,老师也经常对我们发脾气。但我们还是
觉得很开心。
采访人:真酷!你呢,伊娃?
伊娃:我最好的朋友是一个叫罗比娜的女孩。她有一头金黄色短
发。
我记得当时我觉得她看上去像一个天使。我们坐在一起,一起
举手回答老师的问题,一起在
操场上玩耍。可是她在3年级的
时候离开了,我为此哭了很多天。
采访人:噢,太令人伤心了!那么你们离开学校那天怎么样?是什么
情况?
伊娃:我
当时百感交集。我记得我走在回家路上时有一种惊人的自由
感。你知道的,再也没有规矩,再也没有专横
的老师们。但我
还是非常难过,因为我也有过非常开心的时刻,我在一个互相
支援的女孩群体之
内。
凯文:那时候我等不及的要离开,甚至在数日子。我只想找到一份工
作,好好生活,赚点
钱。在我离开学校的那天,我和我的一群
伙伴到外面去庆祝,并且玩得很开心!

I worked on
Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw

Conversation2
Andy: And we’ve got
Toby Jenkins here with us today, who has just been
to see the latest show at The
Hippodrome La Clique. So La
Clique is slightly
different from the usual shows we see here in the
West
End these days. Can you tell me something
about it, Toby?
Toby: Yes, It’s a kind of
cabaret, with a series of variety acts set in a
kind
of circus, but it’s very contemporary,
extremely well produced and
huge fun..
Andy: Tell me more about the acts.
Toby:
Well, there are stunts performed on a high wire,
and puppets.
There’s a sword swallower and
juggler, and a rubber man who
manages to pass
his whole body through a tennis racquet.
Andy:
It sounds very unusual.
Toby: Yes, for the
West End today, but not so unusual for 30 or more
years ago.
Andy: So, It’s family
entertainment then?
Toby: Ah, no. I’m afraid
it’s pretty adult, but very funny and stylish.
Andy: Did you get that ok, Janet?
Joe:
Let me have a listen…
Janet: Oh no, did I do
some thing wrong?
Joe: Well, It’s just that I
can’t hear anything. Let’s try again…
Andy:
Did you remember to keep an eye on the sound
levels? That meter,
there!.
Janet:
Oh no, I clean forgot.
Andy: It’s Ok. We’ll
just do another take.
Joe: Come on you two.
Hurry up!
Janet: I’m so sorry. It slipped my
mind.
Joe: You’ll forget your own head one
day. Sorry about this, Toby. From
the top,
please.
Andy: And we’ve got Toby Jenkins here
with us today…
Andy: 今天我们很荣幸地邀请到Toby
Jenkins接受我们的采访, 他刚
刚在The Hippodrome剧院看了最新公演的La
Clique。那么,
La
Clique和我们近期在伦敦西区看的表演略微有点不同,能
就这一点和我们谈谈吗?
Toby: 好的,这算是一种余兴节目,在某种马戏表演中穿插一系列演出,
但这些演出都是
非常有时代性的,制作精良,而且很有趣。.
Andy: 能更多地谈谈那些演出吗?
Toby: 好的,其中有杂耍演员在高空钢丝上的表演、有木偶表演、吞
剑表演、魔术表演、
还有个柔韧性很好的人从一个网球拍中成
功地钻了过去。
Andy: 听起来确实很特别。
Toby: 是的,对于现在的伦敦西区来说是很特别,
但对于三十多年前
来说,就没那么特别了。
Andy:
所以说,这是老少咸宜的娱乐形式喽?
Toby:
不,恐怕这更适合成年人,但确实很流行、也很有趣。.
Andy:
Janet,这些你都录好了吗?
Joe: 让我听听看
Janet:
哦不,我做错什么了吗?
Joe: 问题是,我什么都听不见啊。我们再试一次.
Andy: 你有留心音量控制器吗? 就是那个表。
Janet: 哦不,我忘得一干二净
Andy: 没事,我们再录一次就行了
Joe: 快呀你们两个!快点!
Janet: 太抱歉了,我一不小心忘了.
Joe:
没准哪天你连自己的脑袋都忘了。Toby,我们对此感到很抱歉,
请从头开始。.
Andy: 今天我们很荣幸地邀请到Toby Jenkins接受我们的采访……
Outside View
The Mona Lisa, the most
famous painting in the world, was trully
revolutionary even in its time. While he was
painting the Mona Lisa,
Leonardo da Vinci
broke all the rules, even his own. In spite of the
fact
that Leonardo and other aritists believed
that women should only be
portrayed with eyes
gazing slightly down. Leonodo painted the Mona
Lisa looking directly at the viewer. The
positon of her body is another
innovation.
While her face looks straight ahead, her body is
slight turned,
a pose that creates a
sense of movement and tension. In another break
from tradition, the Mona Lisa is not wearing
any jewellery or adorments.
Finally,
backgrounds in portraits usually indicated a real
place but the
landscape in Leonardo’s portrait
seems almost imaginary.
A:One of the things I
like to do is, um, think about her face and why,
what is she trying, why, what is she trying to
say with her face and I used
to think that her
face told more than one story. For instance, if I
covered
up one side of her face, it seemed
like she might be a little sad or
resevered,
almost secretive.
S:Her eyes are, they’re
kind of looking at us or around us, through
us
perhaps. I think with that painting she is the
viewer and we are the
subject in a way. And
she has this look that she knows somehting that we
don’t know.
A:And then when I coverd up
that side and looked at the other side,
she
seemed happier, um, more satisfied. And togher, it
created sort of the
mystery about her that,
um, made interpreting her face very enigmatic.
S:There’s speculation that the Mona Lisa is a
self-portrait of
Leonardo and I, I believe
that it is, there, there, the features do line up
between the Mona Lisa and sketches of
Leonardo.
Scott McMahon and Anne Pfaff are
both portrait artists. They
believe that
portraits can tell a story and make people think,
just as the
Mona Lisa has done for so many
years.
A:When I was young, um, I was
always interested in, um, reading
books about
people and, and the dynamics, different kinds of
relationships they had and so when I became a
painter it was natural for
me to be interested
in painting poeple and looking for similar kinds
of
stories to tell about them that you might
read in a book.
S:Uh, most of my work consists
of photographic self-portraiture.
Um, I’m
interested in using myself as th subject, um, not
only as the
creator of the image but as the,
the character, or the performer of, of the
images.
So in my portraits I’m trying to
capture, um, a deeper essence of a
person, um,
more or less.
This work here is done with a
pinhole camera, which requires a very
long
exposure so, with a portrait you can get this
feeling of time passed.
It’s not a, it’s not
an instant, per se, it could be five minutes of
exposure.
A:So this is another project I’m
working on. I’m almost finished
with it but I
still need to work on the reflections in the
water, um, and the
face of the boy before it’s
finished.
S:I often work with multiples and,
you know, using a mirror or the
same image
twice and what I wanted to do was link the two
portraits
together with the string. It’s kind
of the string of thought or this idea of
remembering or the resilience of memory.
A:I don’t just paint from photographs. I try
to make a work of art.
Um, I try to
make a painting that goes beyond a mere
photographic image.
I try to capture something
about the soul of the, or the essence of this
person.
S:This piece here is, uh, it’s
called The Measure of Decay and
behind the
piece there are portraits, again, of me I have
this clay covering
on that has cracked and so
it’s, it’s kind of like the process of decay. So
as
each portrait goes around you can, you can
see the image in a different
focus. I love
painting portraits.
A:I love painting but
portraits are very special because they’re about
people.
S:I’m fascinated by portraiture
in general, and the human body and
how the
image lives over time. I like to capture what is
unique and
special about an individual in
paint.
蒙娜丽莎,作为世界上做最著名的画,在当时的时代是完完全全
颠覆性的。列奥
纳多·达·芬奇在创作这幅画的时候突破了一切的规
则限制,甚至是他自己的。在达芬奇创作的这幅画中
,尽管他其他广
大艺术家都认在画像中妇女只能以眼睛微向下看的姿态出现,可是他
仍然将蒙娜
丽莎画为直视着看画者。她的身体则是另外一个突破。当
她的脸是对着正前方的时候,她的身体略微转过
一个角度,这个姿势
将一种动感和张力结合到了一起。另外一个突破传统的就是蒙娜丽莎
没有佩
戴任何的珠宝或者是装饰品。最后一点,肖像画的背景通常指
向一个真实的地点,而列奥纳多的肖像画的
背景看起来都是梦幻一般
的。
安普法夫:我喜欢做的一件事情是,恩,思考她
的脸还有为什么
她是这样的姿态,她想通过她的脸传达什么,我曾认为她的脸告诉我
们不止一个
故事。比如说,如果我遮起她的脸的一边儿,她看起来会
有些悲伤或者说是沉默寡言的,几乎是遮遮掩掩
的。
斯科特麦克马洪:她的眼睛是那种像看着我们,又像看着我们周
围,或许还是穿过了我们
。在一定程度上,我想在这幅画中,她是旁
观者,而我们却成了画的主题。她的这种表情仿佛表示出她知
道某些
我们不知道的事情。
安普法夫:而后当我遮起她的另一边脸看刚才一边的时候,她看<
br>起来快乐一些,恩,或者说更满足的。整体一起看的时候,它又有一
种关于她的神秘感,恩,让理
解她的脸变的难以捉摸。
斯科特麦克马洪:有一种猜测说蒙娜丽莎这幅画是达芬奇的自画
像,
而我认为,这些特点是集合了蒙娜丽莎还有达芬奇的素描。
斯科特麦克马洪和安普法夫都是肖像画艺术
家。他们认为肖像画
可以讲述一个故事而且令人深思,就像多年前蒙娜丽莎这幅画的作用
一样。
安普法夫:当我年轻的时候,恩,我喜欢,恩,读关于人的书,
还有关于人的相互关系的,他们
之间各种各样的关系,所以当我成为
一个画家的时候,很自然地我会去关注画人还有在书中找寻相似的故
事去讲述它们。
斯科特麦克马洪:恩,我的大部分工作由摄影自画像组成。恩,
我很乐意将自己作为主题,恩,不仅仅是画的创作者,而且是画的主
角或者是表演者。所以在
我的肖像画作品中,我试图去抓住,恩,或
多或少一个人的更深层的本质。这儿的这个工作需要借助针孔
摄像机
完成,它需要很长的曝光时间,所以你可以在这个肖像画的过程中感
受到时间的流逝。它
并不是,并不是一个瞬间的,它本身可以是五分

安普法夫:这是我正在进行的
另一个作品。我几乎快要完成了,
可是在真正完成之前仍然有一些工作,比如说水的反射,恩,还有这<

斯科特麦克马洪:你知道的,我工作的时候经常和倍数打交道,
还有用镜
子或者相同的东西两次,我所想要做的是将两幅肖像用一根
线联系起来。那是一种思想的线,或者说是记
忆,还有记忆的重现。
安普法夫:我不仅仅是按照图片作画。我试图做关于艺术的工作。
恩,
我试着画一种超越了仅仅是图片的画。我试着捕捉一些关于人的
灵魂或者是关于人的本质的东西。 斯科特麦克马洪:这里的东西,恩,叫做衰退的测量,在这张陶
土的后面是一些肖像,再一次,我将
陶土中间弄碎,所以它是,它像
是一种衰退的过程。所以,当每一幅肖像转动的时候,你可以,你可以在不同的焦点上看这些画。
安普法夫:我喜爱画肖像画。我喜欢画画但是肖像画是非常特殊
的,因为它们是关于人的。 <
br>斯科特麦克马洪:我通常被肖像艺术所吸引,还有人的躯体和这
些画是如何在岁月
中存活下来。我喜欢在画中捕捉一些独特的东西还
有有关个体的一些特质。
Listening in conversation 1
Lily: So what
was the highlight of your trip to (South)Korea?
Hugh: Well that's…let me see...it's got to be
going to see Nanta.
Lily: What on earth is
Nanta?
Hugh:It's this amazing live show-part
theater-part dance-part music.
Lily: Sounds
really interesting. But why’s it so brilliant?
Hugh: I think it's the energy of the
performers. Also it has a unique
concept. It's
a mixture of traditional Korean music, percussion
and
drums, into a western style performance
Lily: I've never heard of it. Has it ever
been performed in the West?
Hugh: Yeah, it's
been a sell-out. They've toured in over 30
countries since
the show began in 's a non-
verbal performance so there are
no language
barriers. That's what's made it an international
success.
Lily: What else makes it so
special then?
Hugh: Well...the other thing is
that all the action takes place in the kitchen.
You see these four chefs preparing the food
for a wedding
reception. The performers use
knives, dustbin lids and various
other kitchen
utensils to create a hypnotic soundtrack. The food
literally flies everywhere! It's
hilarious.
Lily: That sounds quite funny I
must admit. Is there an actual story
though?
Hugh: Oh yes, there is a story. The four chefs
have to prepare the meal by
6 o'clock and they
also have to give the manager's nephew
cooking
lessons too, which adds to the fun. There’s loads
of
audience participation and despite there
being no language
involved you get completely
engrossed. It's really quite wacky!
Lily: And
what about the audience? I suppose they start
throwing food
around…?
Hugh: Not quite!
But they are totally involved in what's going
on-everyone loves it. It's a really great
family show. In fact it's one
of the best
shows I've ever seen. Jim, my friend, says he
takes all
his visitors. He's seen it about
eight times and still loves it.
Lily: I bet
it's popular with tourists then.
Hugh: Well
apparently over a million foreign tourists in
(South)Korea
have seen the show and it's had a
run on Broadway too. It first got
popular
after they appeared at the Edinburgh Festival. Now
they
are planning to tour more cities in Asia
where (South) Korean
popular culture is
becoming incredibly trendy.
Lily: By the way
what does“Nanta” mean?
Hugh:It means random
drumming in Korean. The English name for the
show is Cookin’, which gives you a
clearer idea of what it's all
about.
Lily:
You've got me interested now. I'll have to check
it out on the
internet.
丽莉:这次你的韩国之行有什么让你难忘的事情么?
休:
额。。。让我想想。。。应该是去看Nanta这件事吧。
丽莉:到底什么是Nanta?
休: 他是个很精彩的舞台剧,应该说是戏剧,舞蹈以及音乐的大综
合吧。
丽莉:那听起来挺有意思啊。不过它为什么那么精彩?
休: 我想应该是因为演员们的活力
吧。还有就是这个舞台剧本身包
含一个很独特的概念。它是一种将传统朝鲜音乐,打击乐器和
鼓
融合进西方风格的表演
丽莉:我从来没有听说过她,这个节目在西方国家上映过么?
休:
当然,而且场场爆满。自1997年这个节目正式开始表演以来,
Nanta的表演团队已经游遍了三十
多个国家。Nanta是一个非
语言类的表演,因此演员与观众之间不存在语言交流的障碍,
而
这恰恰就是让它在全球范围内取得成功的原因。
丽莉:它还有什么让它变得如此特别的亮点?
休: 额。。。说道其他的特点的话,应该就是表演中所有的事情都发
生在厨房。你会看到4
个主厨在厨房中为准备婚宴餐点而忙
碌。演员们用刀具,垃圾箱的盖子以及其他各式各样的厨具来
制造出令人着迷的音效。舞台上的各种食物简直就是在飞来飞
去,这很有意思的。
丽莉:我承认,这听起来很有趣。但是表演内容中有没有一个完整的
故事?
休:
有啊,那四个主厨必须在6点之前准备好婚宴晚餐,同时又要
给经理的侄子上烹饪课,这些元素都使整部
节目充满笑点。节
目中还包含大量观众参与互动的环节,尽管节目与语言毫不相
关,但每个人都
全神贯注于其中。这真的有点古怪,不是么?
丽莉:来谈一谈观众们的反应吧,我猜他们一定开始四处仍食物了
吧?
休: 并非
完全如此。但他们确实全都沉浸在整部节目中,毕竟每个
观众都喜爱它。这是一部非常适合家庭成员一起
观看的表演。
说实话,他是我所看过的节目中最好的节目之一。我的一个朋
友Jim说,他会带
他所有的客户来看这节目。他已经看过约8
次了,却仍不厌烦。
丽莉:我打赌它肯定很受旅客们的喜爱
休: 恩。。。显然,成百上千到韩国旅游的游客都
看过这部节目,而
且nanta也在百老汇上演过。当初,Nanta在爱丁堡的庆典上
开始受
到世人的瞩目。而现在,Nanta节目组正准备在更多的
亚洲城市进行巡演,韩国的流行文化显然在这
些地方十分地受
欢迎。
丽莉:顺便问一下,Nanta是什么意思?
休: 在韩国,它是胡乱击鼓的意思。他的英文名是Cookin’s,英文名
可以让你更好地理解这个节目的主题。
丽莉:好吧,你的话激起了我对他的兴趣。我要上网查一查它了

Interviewer: Kathy Richards is a specialist
art tour guide. Kathy-can you
tell us what
trends you've noticed in recent years?
Kathy:
Well, one of the biggest phenomena I've noticed is
a huge
increase in visitors to galleries-and a
growing interest in
modern art in general.
Interviewer: What do you think the reason is
for that?
Kathy: Well, there are several
reasons, I think. The most important
ones are
firstly, that some new contemporary art galleries
have opened which have had a lot of publicity,
and secondly
the younger generation feel more
comfortable with modern
art so the kind of
people visiting galleries is changing.
Finally, the new generation of galleries have
become
destinations in themselves...they tend
to be housed in
amazing buildings.
Interviewer: So which are the most popular new
galleries?
Kathy: Well, the Tate Modern in
London has had over 30 million

Janet: Hi,
it’s me again, Janet Li. I’m still a student at
the University of
Oxford in England. But I’m
not in Oxford right now. And I haven’t
gone
back home to China either. It’s the long vacation
now, and
believe it or not, it’s the middle of
summer. I’m spending my
summer in one of the
world’s greatest cities. I’m in London, home
to the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Tower
Bridge…and the
double-decker bus. I want to
find out what it’s like to live in this
busy,
lively city. So I’m working for London Time Off, a
website
about what’s on in London. This is
Joe…, he’s my boss, and this is
Andy, who is a
reporter. And what’s my job? Well, I don’t know
yet,
because it’s my first day. But I’m meant
to be shadowing Andy, oh,
what I mean is, I’m
going to be helping him. So can you tell me
something about London, Andy?
Andy: It’s
the greatest city in the world. .
Joe: Except
for New York!
Andy: New York? Don’t make me
laugh!
Joe: And your point is…?
Andy:
Look, if you want my opinion, London is greater
than New York…
Joe: No, I don’t want your
opinion, thank you very much. It’s a fact.
Andy: A fact! Are you serious?
Janet: And here we are in London, probably the
greatest city in the
world.
Andy: What?
Probably? Excuse me, I prefer to deal with this

Joe: Ah, dream on, Andy………
珍妮特:嗨,又是我,珍妮特.李。我目前还是一位英国牛津大学的
学生,但我现在不在牛津,也还没有

世界上最棒的
城市之一里度过我的夏天。我在伦敦,它是英
国国会大厦、大本钟、塔桥…和双层巴士的故乡。我想知道
住在如此热闹和生气勃勃的城市里是什么感觉。所以,我现
在在为伦敦下班网效劳。它是一个报

迪,你能告诉我一些关于伦敦的事情吗?
安 迪: 伦敦是世界上最棒的城市。
乔 : 除了纽约以外!
安 迪: 纽约?别逗我笑了!
乔 :
那你的观点是… ?
安 迪: 注意,如果你真的需要我的观点,伦敦确实比纽约棒…
乔 : 不,我不需要你的观点,非常感谢!这是事实!
安 迪:
事实!你是当真的吗?
珍妮特:我们现在在伦敦,或许是世界上最棒的城市。
安 迪:
什么?或许?对不起,我宁可自己处理这个…

Janet:So when did you
start working at London Time Off?
Andy: About
a year ago.
Janet: And I hope you don’t mind
my asking ,but do you like working
here?
Andy: Yes, I love it. I mean, Joe and I get
along quite well. He drives me
crazy
sometimes, because he’s my boss, and I wish I
earned a bit
more money, but…I think my job is
really cool, because I get to
see everything
that’s happening in London. And I didn’t want to
join the rat race.
Janet: What do you mean
by the rat race?
Andy: You know, doing the
same thing day in day out, and not doing
anything creative, or having any time to enjoy
life. It’s the last
thing I want to do.
Janet: So do you mind telling me what you do
exactly?
Andy: Basically, we check out new
events on the London music scene,
you
know, new clubs, the latest plays and films, as
well as
exhibitions in galleries and museums.
Then we go and film
interviews with the
musicians or the actors, or anyone who has
anything to do with the event.
Janet: Ok,
then what happens?
Andy: We edit the
interviews, and then we upload it all onto the
website.
We get 200,000 hits a week. We’re
London’s biggest listings site.
Janet: Can I
ask you something else?
Andy: Fire away.
Janet: What are we going to do now?
Andy:
I need to go back to my flat, and get my research.
Then we’ve got
an interview to do. Let’s get
the tube back to my place.
Janet: And what
about Joe?
Andy: Well, he’s supposed to be on
his way to the National Theatre, to do
an
interview with the director of a new play. But I
kind of hope he
gets lost on the way. Then
he’ll discover what a great place
London is.
Janet: I don’t understand.
Andy: I’m
joking! Come on, let’s go!
珍妮特:那么你是什么开始在伦敦下班网上班的呢?
安 迪: 大约一年前。
珍妮特:我希望你不要介意我的发问,你喜欢在这里工作吗?
安 迪: 是,我非常喜欢。我
的意思是,乔跟我相处得挺好的。虽然
有时我快被他搞疯了,因为他是我的老板,而且我又希望能
多赚点钱,但…我认为我的工作是十分有趣的,因为我能够
看到伦敦正在发生的事情。再说,我不愿意
自己处在商业中
无意义的竞争里。
珍妮特:你说的商业中无意义的竞争是什么意思?
安 迪: 你知道,日复一日地做着同样的事情并且不做任何有创意的
事或拥有任何可以享受生
活的时间。这是我最不想做的事
情。
珍妮特:那你介意告诉我你具体都做些什么吗?
安 迪: 基本上,除了新的俱乐部、最新的戏剧和电影,还有美术馆
和博物馆里的展览,你知
道,我们会关注伦敦乐坛的新动向。
然后,我们去采访音乐家或演员或任何与此事件有关的人并
将此采访的内容录下来。
珍妮特:好的,那接下来呢?
安 迪: 我们编辑这些采访然后将
它们全部都上传到网站上。我们一
周就取得了二十万个网路点击数。我们是伦敦最大的数据站

。
珍妮特:我能问你其他事情吗?
安 迪: 尽管问吧。
珍妮特:我们现在要做什么?
安 迪:
我需要回到我的公寓去拿我的研究调查。然后,我们得去做
个采访。让我们乘地铁到我家去吧。
珍妮特:那乔怎么办?
安 迪: 他现在应该在去国家剧院的路上。他要去给一位新戏剧的导
演做个采访。但我有点儿希望他在途中迷路。然后,他将会
发现伦敦是多么棒的一个地方。
珍妮特:我不明白。
安 迪: 我是在开玩笑!快点,我们走吧!
Outside view
Happiness is not what most
students have in mind when they
think of
school. Yet a school in Germany has developed a
novel way to
raise the morale of its students,
by teaching happiness in classes. Students
at
Heidelberg’s Willy Hellpach School of Economics
are learning how to
achieve happiness as an
official subject, alongside mathematics and
languages. This is the first school in Germany
to develop a happiness
course, intended for
17- to 19-year-olds preparing for university
entrance
exams.
Ernst Fritz-
Schubert, the school’s principal, is on a mission
to
change things.
Ernst Fritz-Schubert: It
was my idea-I’ve been at this school for
31 years, and I feel that school and
happiness have to be reunited. These
are two
terms which are not considered together, because
one does not
connect school with happiness. In
some cases school comes behind the
dentists on
the popularity scale and we should try to push
schools’
popularity a bit.
It has been
proved by science that a happy student can learn
more
than an unhappy one, Unhappy students can
concentrate for a while but
do not use all
their potential. The happiness classes are
intended to help
students fulfill their
potential. They will help the students live happy
and
prosperous lives.
The classes aim to
help students in achieving a positive state of
mind, by using all their own resources and
boosting their self-esteem. In
addition, they
hope classes will increase self-awareness and
physical
comfort. Happiness classes are also
intended to make students more
aware about
their environment and society as a whole. During
classes
students are encouraged to express
themselves and observe their peers’
behavior.
The classes are taught by Bjoern Bonn, an actor
and visiting
lecturer.
Bjoern Bonn: One of
the exercises I do is to have one of the
students walk across the classroom, with the
others copying his walk.
Through this
exercise, I hope they learn something about
themselves.
Why do I move like this? How do
others see my way of walking? I hope
that with a higher body awareness they
ideally –of course it will take
time-achieve a
higher self-consciousness which could lead to
happiness.
Wolfgang Lang: We give these
classes to students to help them
find
happiness. Now the question is: How do I define
happiness?
Happiness is for example a
strengthening of the personality. We are
providing helpful suggestions to make stronger
people. People that ask
“Who am I as a person?
Am I really happy?”
Pascal Gemble: It takes
time and everybody has to find happiness
for
themselves. You cannot go into a coaching lesson
and say teach me
happiness. One can only get
indications from teachers or the visiting
lecturers. There are also happiness
scientists, if we could talk to one of
those,
I am sure he would have some hints.
Yosma
Pinar Cetinkaya: You would think that the teachers
are
writing definitions on the board. Not
true. Those who want happiness
have to find it
for themselves, you cannot really learn that.
So what does it take to be happy and can you
learn it at school?
当学生想起学校,快乐不是多数人想到
的。目前,德国一所学校
已经创造了一种新颖的通过在课堂上教授快乐的方法来提升其学生
们的
精神面貌。 Heidelberg ‘s Willy Hellpach School of
Economics 正
在研究怎样将快乐实现为与数学和语言一样的官方课程。这是德国第
一
家开设快乐课程的学校,意欲为17至19岁的学生作高考的准备。
Ernst Fritz-Schubert,学校的校长,肩负着变革的使命。
Ernst Fritz-Schubert:“这是我的想法—我已经在这所学校呆了31
年,我认为
学校和快乐必须被重组,这是不被认为该在一起的两部分,
因为学生不把学校与快乐联系起来。在某些情
况下,学校在受欢迎程
度上落后于牙医,我们应该努力推动学校的受欢迎度。
科学
已经证明一个快乐的学生能比一个不快乐的学生学到更
多。不快乐的学生能在一段时间内集中注意力,但
不能发挥他们所有
的潜力,这些快乐课程致力于帮助学生发挥他们的潜能,能帮学生生
活在快乐
繁荣的生活中。”
这种课程旨在帮助学生们通过用他们自己的特长和激励他们的自
尊来达到思
想的积极状态。另外,他们希望课程会增加自觉意识和身
体素质,快乐课程还致力于让学生意识到环境与
社会是作为一个整体
存在。课堂期间学生被鼓励表达自我和关注同伴的行为,课程由演员
和客座
讲师 Bjoern Bonn讲授。
Bjoern Bonn:“我做的其中一个练习是让
学生走过教室,其他学
生模仿他的步伐。通过这个练习,我希望他们从自己身上学得一些东
西‘
为什么我像这样行动?其他人怎样评价我走路的方式?’我希望
伴随着更高的身体意识他们原则上——当
然这需要时间——实现更
高的抵达快乐的自我意识。”
Wolfgang Lang:“我
们为学生们开设这些课程来帮助他们找寻快
乐,现在问题是:我该如何给快乐下定义?比如快乐是个性的
加强。
我们正提供有帮助的建议来使学生更强健,学生会问:我是一个怎样
的人
?我真的高兴吗?”
Pascal Gembe:“这需要花时间,每个人必须为自己找寻快乐,<
br>你不可能去一个训练课说:‘教给我快乐’。一个学生只能从教师或客
座讲师那得到暗示,另外也
有研究快乐的科学家,如果我们能与他们
之一交流,我确信他能给一些暗示。”
Yosma Pinar Cetinkaya:“你会认为老师在黑板上写下快乐的定
义,那不正确。
哪些想得到快乐的学生必须为他们自己寻找,你不能
真正通过学习得到。”
既然如此,得到快乐的代价是什么?你能在学校学到它吗?
Listening in
Passage one
Interviewer: Can you tell
me…how do you think you have changed as
you
have matured?What things have had a major
influence
on you?
Speaker 1 : Well, let
me think…I suppose going to university had a
big impact on my life. It made me much more
open-minded.
I met so many different types of
people there with weird and
wonderful ideas
and it changed the way I see the world. I’m
much more tolerant now… It made me a more
rounded
person.
Interviewer: Great, and
had any particular person had a central role in
forming your character?
Speaker 1:
I guess that’d have to be my grandfather. I was
very close to
him, and he taught me to stand
up for my beliefs. He was
always telling me
about this…
Interviewer: So what people or
events have had an impact on your life?
Speaker 2: I think that traveling my gap year
made me grow up and see
both the beauty of the
world and, well…just the generosity of
ordinary people. I traveled a lot around Asia
and you know, I
found that in some of the
poorest countries, like Cambodia
and Laos,
people share whatever little they have, and they
possess a real joy for life. It’s probably
made me a less
selfish person.
Interviewer: Interesting…so you would
recommend that young people
take a gap year to
discover themselves and the world?
Speaker 2:
Definitely. It gives you an opportunity o learn
about the
world beyond the one you grew up in
and I found it really…
Interviewer: Could you
tell me what things in your life have had the
greatest influence in forming your
personality?
Speaker 3: Well…a couple of years
ago I was on a reality TV show where
a group
of young people all lived in a house together.
Each
week some one was voted off by the
audience. I got down to
the final three! I
suppose being on the show and seeing how
the other contestants behaved made me
realize how selfish
and spiteful some people
can be just to get what they want. I
also
realized it’s best to just be yourself in life. If
you pretend
to be someone different people
will eventually see through
the lies.
Interviewer: Right…And how did you feel when
you were eventually
voted off?
Speaker 3:
Relieved, to be honest with you. But you know, a
slight
regret that I didn’t win because I kind
of…
Interviewer: So you can tell me, what one
thing do you think that has
had the biggest
impact on your life?
Speaker 4: Hmm, that’s
a difficult question. But I think helping
victims of the tsunami in 2004 had a very
great impact on me.
I’m half Thai and I’d just
arrived in Thailand for a family
Christmas
holiday. When I heard the news I knew I had to
help-you couldn’t not. I ended up acting as an
interpreter for
a group of volunteer doctors.
It was an incredibly difficult
time but you
know, even in the middle of such a horrific
tragedy there is still a huge amount of g
kindness.
Interviewer: That’s amazing! And has
it changed the way you view your
future…
采访者 你能不能告诉我…你认为在你渐渐成熟的过程中产生了怎
样的变化呢
?什么事情对你产生了主要的影响?
发言人1 嗯,让我想想… 我认为上大学对我的生活产生了重大
的影
响。大学生活让我的思想更加开明。我在那遇到了太多不同
类型的人,他们有着奇特而又令
人称赞的想法。这让我改变
了我看世界的方式。我现在宽容多了…
上大学让我成为了一
个更加全面的人。
采访者
太棒了…那有没有一些特殊的人在你的性格塑造上产生主
要影响呢?
受访者1
我觉得这个人应该是我的祖父。我和他非常亲近,是他教
会了我要坚持自己的信仰。他总是这么和我说…
采访者 那什么人或事对你的生活产生了重要的影响呢?
受访者2 我认为在我的空档年旅
行让我逐渐成长,让我同时看见了
世界的美丽和…单单是普通人的慷慨。我去亚洲游玩了很多
地
方,你知道的,我发现在一些最贫困的国家,像柬埔寨和
老挝,人们会分享他们所拥有的一切,无论多少
。因此他们
拥有对生活最真的快乐。这很可能让我成为一个不那么自私
的人。
采访者:很有趣。所以你建议年轻人在大学前的那一年里去发现自己
和整个世界么?
受访者2::当然了,它能够给你一个机会去了解你生活环境之外的世
界,而且我觉得它很……
采访者:你介意告诉我,在你的生活中,什么事情对你的人格的形成
起了最重要
的影响么?
受访者3:恩,几年前,我参加一个电视真人秀的时候,年轻人都住
在同一个房子
里。每一个星期,都会有人根据观众的投票而
离开。我坚持到了最后三名!我想通过参加这次活动,以及
观察其他参赛者的行为,让我认识到了一个人为了达到他的
目的,可以多么的自私与居心叵测。
同时我也认识到了在生
活中,最好做自己。如果你试图去做其他不同于自己的人,
别人最终会看
穿这个谎言。
采访者:那么,当你最后被投票要离开的时候,你是什么感觉?
受访者3:说实话,我感觉如释重负。但是你知道,还会有一点儿遗
憾,我有些……
采访者:那么你可以告诉我,在你的生活中,什么事情对你起到了最
大的影响么?
受
访者4:恩,这是个很难回答的问题。但是我想在2004年的时候
帮助海啸受难者给我了巨大的影响。
我有一半的泰国血统,
那时我刚刚到达泰国去参加家庭的圣诞聚会。当我听到这个
消息的时候,
我知道我必须去帮助他们——你不可能什么都
不做。我最终成为一名医生小组的口译员。那是一个十分艰
难的时期,但是你知道,即使是在这样巨大的灾难之中,仍
然会有很多人性的善良。
采访者:真的很震惊!那么它改变了你对未来的想法么?
Passage two
Tony: Talking to us
today in our Life Choices series is Joan Robinson,
an
academic counselor at Manchester
University. She gives advice to
school
students on choosing the right subject to study at
university.
Joan, welcome to the show.
Joan: Thanks Tony.
Tony: So Joan, what do
our listeners need to think about when choosing a
course? It’s a huge, potentially life-changing
decision, isn’t it?
Joan: Yes. I generally
give students advice in two areas. Firstly, know
yourself, and secondly, think to the future.
Tony: When you say “know yourself” what do you
mean?
Joan: Basically, I mean evaluate your
own personal strengths and
weaknesses, your
personality traits and the things you like.
Tony: I see…So how can our listeners do this?
Joan: Well, start by asking yourself questions
to help reflect on your life
so far. For
example, what subjects are you good at? Are you an
organized and self-disciplined person? Are you
confident and
outgoing? Do you like working
with others in a team or do you
prefer working
alone? These kinds of questions will help you
discover more about yourself.
Tony:
Sounds like good advice. How about your second
point regarding
the future?
Joan:
Well, your choice of major subject is likely to
have a significant
impact on your future
career so it’s important to look into this
carefully. I recommend you check not only
which academic
subjects will help you get into
a particular area of work, but also
look
carefully at what universities offer. Each
university has its
strengths so try to choose
one that is the best in your chosen field.
Find out what links the department has to
related industries and
leading companies in
it.
Tony: Good point. Now I’d like to take
some calls from our listeners.
First up we
have James on the line. Hi, James! How can we
help?
James: Hi. I’m interested in career in
IT and I’d like to ask Joan whether
she thinks
it’s better to go to a highly respected
university, like
Oxford, or to study somewhere
that has more of a vocational focus?
Joan:
Well, James, you know it really depends on what
you expect to get
out of a university and how
you see your future. Basically a
handful of
the brightest graduates are picked from the top
universities around the world to join the
leading IT companies. So
I’d say if you’re a
high-flyer then this is the route that might be
for
you. But if you are looking for a more
mainstream career then you
should consider a
course that helps you acquire practical,
transferable skills that you can use in the
workplace…and look at
which universities have
the best levels of graduate recruitment for
the kind of job you are aiming for.
James: I see! Thanks a lot. That really helps
me out…
Tony:今天我们生活选择栏目的嘉宾是曼彻斯特大学的学校顾问乔恩·罗宾逊。她将会给学生们一些在大学里如何去选择正确的
学科的建议。乔恩,欢迎来到我们的节
目。
Joan: 谢谢,托尼。
Tony:那么乔恩,我们的听众在选择课程时需要考虑些
什么?这是一
个重大的,可能改变生活的选择,对吗?
Joan:是的。我一般给学生们两个
方面的建议。第一,要了解自己;
第二,要对未来持有看法。
Tony:你说的“了解自己”,具体是什么意思?
Joan:基本上,我的意思是要评价自己的优缺点、性格特征和兴趣。
Tony:明白。那么我们的听众要怎么做到这一点呢?
Joan:目前,要从自我反思开始
。例如,你擅长哪一科?你是不是一
个有条理的,能自律的人?你是不是自信的,开朗的?你喜欢
在一个团队中与别人合作还是孤军奋战?这些问题能帮助你
更多地了解自己。
Tony:听起来就是个好建议。那你的第二个关于未来的建议呢?
Joan:你选择的主修
课程很有可能对你以后的工作有重大的影响,所
以,仔细地对专业进行调查是很重要的。我要求的不仅仅
是调
查哪一个专业能让你找到好工作,而且要仔细地查阅一下学校
提供的资源。
每一所大学都有自己的特色,所以要试着选择在
你选择范围内的最好的一所。并且要找到那一所大学与相
关工
厂和首席公司之间的关系。
Tony:好主意。现在我们进入到听众热线的环节。第一个
连接上的听
众是詹姆斯。詹姆斯你好!我们有什么能帮助你的?
James:你好。我对IT
行业很感兴趣,我想问一下乔恩,她认为进入
一所受到尊重的学校,例如牛津大学好,还是选择一所更加
注
重技术实践的学校好?
Joan:很好,詹姆斯,你知道这完全决定于你想要从大学里得到
什么
还有你对未来的看法。基本上,大把的精英都是从世界顶尖高
校中被挑选出来进入到领先世
界的IT公司工作。我想说,如
果你是一个有野心的人,这可能是一条属于你的路。但是,如
果
你正在寻找主流行业,那么你应该考虑一门能帮助你锻炼在
工作中有用处的实践能力与可传递能力的课程
,和比较一下在
哪一间大学里,你的目标专业的就业率最高。
James:明白了!非常感谢,这些建议真的让我豁然开朗。

Janet
Hey, look at that! It’s just like I’ve seen it in
the films!
Andy Welcome to London, my
hometown. We are in Shoutwark,
south of the
river. there’s London bridge off to your left, and
there’s Tower Bridge.
Janet I’m really
impressed. How old is it?
Andy It’s only
about 120 years old.
Janet well, that’s
quite old.
Andy the London Docks
used to be around this area. What happened
was
that about three or four times a day, they raised
Tower
Bridge, so the bigger ships could come
right into London. But
because they couldn’t
go under London bridge, they had to
stop and
unload here.
Janet Does Tower Bridge still
open?
Andy well, not so often. When I was
a kid, I think I saw tower
bridge go up fairy
often, all the traffic had to wait for the ships
to pass through the bridge. Anyway, just this
side of London
bridge were lots of warehouses,
where they kept their cargo.
But during the
second world war, there was lots of bombing
over London…
Janet yes, I read about
that…the Blitz?
Andy that’s right. And
even when I was a kid, I remember that
many of
the buildings were still damaged. But in the late
1980s and 90s, this whole area was
redeveloped, you can see
for yourself, it’s a
trendy place to live now.
Janet is the
river thames still polluted?
Andy well, it
certainly used to be polluted. I remember it had a
very
distinctive smell, if you fell in, they
used to take you to
hospital.
Janet
that’s sounds revolting!
Andy yes,
but in the 1960s, they cleaned it up, and in fact
it’s now
one of the cleanest city rivers in
the world.

珍妮特
嘿,看那!和我在电影里看到的一样啊 !
安迪 欢迎来到我的故乡伦敦。我们现在是在河的
南边
---southwark,在你的左边是伦敦大桥,那边是伦敦塔桥。
珍妮特
真让人叹为观止啊!他有多长的历史了?
安迪 只有大概120年吧。
珍妮特
已经很久了。
安迪 轮的码头以前就在这附近,他们以前每天都会吧塔桥升起
来三四
次,以便让大船进入伦敦,但船又不能通过伦敦大
桥,所以只能在这停下来下货了。
珍妮特
塔桥现在还会开放吗?
安迪 嗯,偶尔吧。我小的时候经常看到塔桥升起来,当时所有
的车都会停下来等桥下的船通过。伦敦桥这边还有许多他
们用来存放货物的仓库,但伦敦在二战期间遭
到了许多轰
炸。
珍妮特 是的,我在书上看到过,德国空袭,对吧?
安迪 没
错,甚至在我小的时候,还有许多遗留下来的被毁建筑,
但在80年代后期到90年代,这边整个区域都
重建了。你
看,现在这已经是一个很时髦的居住地了!
珍妮特
泰晤士河现在还是污染的吗?
安迪
以前是,记得以前这有股很特别的味道,你一旦掉下去,
就会被送去医院。
珍妮特
听起来有点恶心。
安迪
是的,但60年代已经被清理干净了,实际上它现在已经是
世界上最干净的河流之一了。
Conversion 2
Janet It is very different
from the parts of London I know.
Andy The
thing about Southwark is that it’s a typical
suburb of London,
full of old buildings and
shops. And this is where I grew up. I
used to
live in that building there.
Janet It’s
amazing. It looks very old.
Andy Yes, it’s
about 80 years old
Janet And where did you go
to school?
Andy Let me see. Yes , it was
about a mile away from here. From
about the
age of eight, I used to go by bike. We all made
our way
to school on our own, meeting up with
friends along the way
until there was a large
gang of us kids as we got closer to school.
These days parents are much more protective
and take their kids
to school by car. It’s
safer, but it’s not as much fun.
Anyway …where
was I?
Janet You were telling me
about your schooldays.
Andy That’s right.
Anyway, I stayed at school until I was 16,and then
I
went to a college of further education, and
did my A levels. And
after that, I decided to
go to university.
Janet Your parents must
have been proud of you.
Andy Yes, I think so.
I was the first person in my family to go to uni.
Janet That’s fascinating.
Andy And
what about you?
Janet Oh, it was a typical
childhood in Anshan, nothing much to tell.
Andy But I have no idea what a typical
childhood is like in China.
Janet OK, I
will tell you. Let me think…
Andy Oh, hang
on! Do you mind waiting here for a minute? Let me
go
up to my flat and get my research, and then
you can tell me
about it while we’re on our
way back to the studio.
Janet OK
Andy
Back in a minute…
珍妮特 这和我看到的伦敦的其他地方很不一样啊。
安迪 守特瓦是一个很典型的伦敦郊区,这有许多古老的建筑和商
场。这是我长大的地方
,我以前就住在那栋楼里。
珍妮特 哇!看起来很古老。
安迪
是的,有大概80年了吧。
珍妮特 对了,你去哪上学的?
安迪
让我想想… 对了,离这大概一里远。八岁起我就开始骑车
上学,我们都是自己去的。一路上我们会碰到
很多同学,到
学校的时候已经是一大帮人了。而现在的父母过度的保护自
己的孩子,每天送他们
上学,这当然安全些,不过没有趣。
而且……我说道哪了?
珍妮特 你在讲你的学生时代。
安迪
对了,而且我在学校呆到16岁后又进了进修学校,并且参
加了大学入学考试。后来我又决定上大学了。
珍妮特 你父母一定为你感到骄傲吧!
安迪
我想是吧,在家里我是第一个上大学的。
珍妮特 你太棒了。
安迪
你呢?你怎么样?
珍妮特 噢,那是在鞍山一个很典型的童年,没什么太多可讲。
安迪
但还不知道在中国典型的童年是什么样的啊!
珍妮特 好吧,我来告诉你,让我想想……
安迪 噢,你先停下,在这等我一下好吗?我先回宿舍拿下调研资
料,然后在回录音室的
路上你再慢慢讲给我听。
珍妮特 好吧。
安迪 我马上回来。

Passage1
One of the
strangest feelings I’ve ever had was when I
returned by
chance to a place where I’d been
happy as a child. My husband and I
were
visiting some friends for the weekend-----they
lived about 200
kilometers away. We were
driving along when I suddenly saw a church in
the distance that I recognized. My favorite
aunt had lived very near it on a
farm that my
brother and I used to visit once a year with our
parents.
We were city kids, brought up in the
middle of London, and this was a
working farm
-----the real thing-----with cows in cowsheds,
fields with
ponds and a muddy yard full
of smelly pigs-----we had the run of the
whole
place-----it was just paradise for us.
And
then-----there was the food-----home-made jam and
bread and
cakes, milk fresh from the cow. And
my aunt Lottie-----a farmer’s
wife-----and her
husband, uncle George and their kids, Katie and
Ben, our
two cousins who my brother and I
really got on with. It was heaven that
week we
used to spend there. They moved from the farm when
I was…
how old? ----- about 14. So I’d never
been back or seen it again.
Anyway, there we
were, and I’d just seen the church-----, so we
turned off and drove down this really narrow
lane. And before I knew it
we were in front of
Aunt Lottie’s farm. The extraordinary thing was
that it
hadn’t changed------ not one tiny bit.
It was a lovely old place with a typical
country cottage garden, full of
flowers. There
were lots of barns and sheds-----they were next to
-----next
to the farm. And you know, I can’t
even begin to describe the feeling I
had
standing there. It was-----oh, what was it? an
incredibly powerful
feeling of longing-----
nostalgia for the past-----for times I’d been very
very happy. But it was the past. I hadn’t been
there for 20 years and I
couldn’t go back, so
also I had a feeling of huge sadness, that I
couldn’t
have those times again. And-----at
the same time-----great sweetness,
because
those times had been so happy, so innocent-----
because I was a
child. So there was this
extraordinary mix-----of longing, sadness and
sweetness, all at the same time. It was
the strangest feeling I’ve ever had.

我曾经有过的最奇怪感觉就是当我偶然间来到我童年时十分快乐
的地方。当时我和丈夫在周末去
看望朋友们,他们都住在200公里外
的地方。就在我们沿路开车的时候,我突然看见了在远处有个熟悉
的
教堂,我最爱的婶婶曾经住在附近的农场,爸妈每年都带我和哥哥去
那里。
我们我
无法再拥有曾经的那段时光。但同时,我心中又如此甜蜜,
只因那时的我是那样开在伦敦市中心长大,是
城里的孩子,而这个农
场又是一个真正的劳作的农场,那里有住着奶牛的牛舍,带池塘的耕
地,
满是臭猪的泥院子。我们在整个农场里疯跑,那里就像是我们的
天堂。
然后,就是吃的,有自
制的果酱、面包、蛋糕和刚挤出的新鲜的
牛奶。我的婶婶Lottie和她的丈夫,也就是我的叔叔,以
及他们的孩
子-----我们的两个侄子Katie和Ben,我和哥哥跟他们都相处很好。
那
里是我们曾经渡过每一天的天堂。但是,他们从农场搬走了,当我,
呃,多大的时候?呃….大概是14
岁的时候吧。所以我再也没回去过
或是看见过。
无论怎样,我们来了,我又看见了那个教堂,
于是我们转弯开进
这条很窄的小道。但我们不知道的是我们到了Lottie的农场前面,更
加
奇妙的是它没有变,一点儿也没有。
那是一个可爱的有着满是鲜花的旧式传统乡村别墅
花园。很多很
多的仓库和小屋,一个一个的在农场附近。你要知道,我甚至不知如
何描述我站在
那里的心情。那种心情,哦,是什么心情?一种难以置
信的强烈的留恋-----对过去的留恋
------对曾经美好时光的留恋。然而,
那已成为过往,我已经离开那里20年了,我之后也从没回
去过,所
以我仍有一种很强的失落感,因为心,那样天真,只因我那时是个孩

甜蜜。那是我所拥有的最奇怪的感觉了。

Script
Interviewer: So what's
your first memory of school, Kevin?
Kevin: I
was really looking forward to school, I remember
that, I just
couldn't wait. Yeah, Johnny, my
brother, was a year older than
me and he
seemed so grown-up, with his red blazer and smart
shoes. And I wanted to go to school and be
grown-up too. I don't
remember much of the
first day actually, apart from this little boy
lying on the floor and screaming and screaming
and me thinking
what a baby he was.
Interviewer: Right! What about you, Eva?
Eva: I just have this one memory of this coat
rack with all our coats.
And I was looking for
my peg which had a little picture of an
elephant next to it. I remember I was
crying because I wanted to
go home and I
couldn't get my coat on. I was crying so much and
then the teacher came and helped me.
Interviewer: OK, so what about your first best
friend at school?
Kevin: Oh, yeah, well,
Steve, I remember him, because he's still my best
friend!
Interviewer: Still your best
friend!
Eva: That's so great!
Kevin:
Yeah, we didn't know each other before we started
school but we
became really good friends and
so did our mums. Our families
ended up going
on holiday together and that kind of thing. But we
used to fight a lot, Steve and I, and the
teachers used to get very
cross with us. But
we were just having fun.
Interviewer: Cool!
And what about you, Eva?
Eva: My best friend
was a girl called Robina. She had short blond
hair, I
remember I thought she looks like an
angel. We sat next to each
other and held
hands and played fairies in the playground. She
left
in Year 3 and I cried for days.
Interviewer: Oh, how sad! So what about the
day you left school? How
was that?
Eva: I
had a lot of mixed feelings, I remember walking
home with this
amazing feeling of freedom, you
know, no more rules, no more
bossy
teachers. But I also felt pretty sad, because I'd
had some
good times. I was in a group of girls
who were so supportive of
each other.
Kevin: I couldn't wait to leave, I was
counting the days.I just wanted to
get a job,
get a life, earn some cash. The day I left, I went
out to
celebrate with a couple of my mates and
--had a very good time!

时候离开了,我为此哭了很多天。
采访人:噢,太令人伤心了!那么你们离开学校那天怎么样?是什么
情况?
伊娃:我
当时百感交集。我记得我走在回家路上时有一种惊人的自由
感。你知道的,再也没有规矩,再也没有专横

还是非常难过,因为我也有过非常开心的时刻,我在一个互相

钱。在我离开学校的那天,我和我的一群

Andy: This is the West End. It’s famous for
cinemas and theatres. I used

the play. If I’m not mistaken,
I worked on
Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw

Conversation2
Andy: And we’ve got
Toby Jenkins here with us today, who has just been
to see the latest show at The
Hippodrome La Clique. So La
Clique is slightly
different from the usual shows we see here in the
West
End these days. Can you tell me something
about it, Toby?
Toby: Yes, It’s a kind of
cabaret, with a series of variety acts set in a
kind
of circus, but it’s very contemporary,
extremely well produced and
huge fun..
Andy: Tell me more about the acts.
Toby:
Well, there are stunts performed on a high wire,
and puppets.
There’s a sword swallower and
juggler, and a rubber man who
manages to pass
his whole body through a tennis racquet.
Andy:
It sounds very unusual.
Toby: Yes, for the
West End today, but not so unusual for 30 or more
years ago.
Andy: So, It’s family
entertainment then?
Toby: Ah, no. I’m afraid
it’s pretty adult, but very funny and stylish.
Andy: Did you get that ok, Janet?
Joe:
Let me have a listen…
Janet: Oh no, did I do
some thing wrong?
Joe: Well, It’s just that I
can’t hear anything. Let’s try again…
Andy:
Did you remember to keep an eye on the sound
levels? That meter,
there!.
Janet:
Oh no, I clean forgot.
Andy: It’s Ok. We’ll
just do another take.
Joe: Come on you two.
Hurry up!
Janet: I’m so sorry. It slipped my
mind.
Joe: You’ll forget your own head one
day. Sorry about this, Toby. From
the top,
please.
Andy: And we’ve got Toby Jenkins here
with us today…
Andy: 今天我们很荣幸地邀请到Toby
Jenkins接受我们的采访, 他刚
刚在The Hippodrome剧院看了最新公演的La
Clique。那么,
La
Clique和我们近期在伦敦西区看的表演略微有点不同,能
就这一点和我们谈谈吗?
Toby: 好的,这算是一种余兴节目,在某种马戏表演中穿插一系列演出,
但这些演出都是
非常有时代性的,制作精良,而且很有趣。.
Andy: 能更多地谈谈那些演出吗?
Toby: 好的,其中有杂耍演员在高空钢丝上的表演、有木偶表演、吞
剑表演、魔术表演、
还有个柔韧性很好的人从一个网球拍中成
功地钻了过去。
Andy: 听起来确实很特别。
Toby: 是的,对于现在的伦敦西区来说是很特别,
但对于三十多年前
来说,就没那么特别了。
Andy:
所以说,这是老少咸宜的娱乐形式喽?
Toby:
不,恐怕这更适合成年人,但确实很流行、也很有趣。.
Andy:
Janet,这些你都录好了吗?
Joe: 让我听听看
Janet:
哦不,我做错什么了吗?

请从头开始。.
Andy: 今天我们很荣幸地邀请到Toby Jenkins接受我们的采访……
Outside View
The Mona Lisa, the most
famous painting in the world, was trully
revolutionary even in its time. While he was
painting the Mona Lisa,
Leonardo da Vinci
broke all the rules, even his own. In spite of the
fact
that Leonardo and other aritists believed
that women should only be
portrayed with eyes
gazing slightly down. Leonodo painted the Mona
Lisa looking directly at the viewer. The
positon of her body is another
innovation.
While her face looks straight ahead, her body is
slight turned,
a pose that creates a
sense of movement and tension. In another break
from tradition, the Mona Lisa is not wearing
any jewellery or adorments.
Finally,
backgrounds in portraits usually indicated a real
place but the
landscape in Leonardo’s portrait
seems almost imaginary.
A:One of the things I
like to do is, um, think about her face and why,
what is she trying, why, what is she trying to
say with her face and I used
to think that her
face told more than one story. For instance, if I
covered
up one side of her face, it seemed
like she might be a little sad or
resevered,
almost secretive.
S:Her eyes are, they’re
kind of looking at us or around us, through
us
perhaps. I think with that painting she is the
viewer and we are the
subject in a way. And
she has this look that she knows somehting that we
don’t know.
A:And then when I coverd up
that side and looked at the other side,
she
seemed happier, um, more satisfied. And togher, it
created sort of the
mystery about her that,
um, made interpreting her face very enigmatic.
S:There’s speculation that the Mona Lisa is a
self-portrait of
Leonardo and I, I believe
that it is, there, there, the features do line up
between the Mona Lisa and sketches of
Leonardo.
Scott McMahon and Anne Pfaff are
both portrait artists. They
believe that
portraits can tell a story and make people think,
just as the
Mona Lisa has done for so many
years.
A:When I was young, um, I was
always interested in, um, reading
books about
people and, and the dynamics, different kinds of
relationships they had and so when I became a
painter it was natural for
me to be interested
in painting poeple and looking for similar kinds
of
stories to tell about them that you might
read in a book.
S:Uh, most of my work consists
of photographic self-portraiture.
Um, I’m
interested in using myself as th subject, um, not
only as the
creator of the image but as the,
the character, or the performer of, of the
images.
So in my portraits I’m trying to
capture, um, a deeper essence of a
person, um,
more or less.
This work here is done with a
pinhole camera, which requires a very
long
exposure so, with a portrait you can get this
feeling of time passed.
It’s not a, it’s not
an instant, per se, it could be five minutes of
exposure.
A:So this is another project I’m
working on. I’m almost finished
with it but I
still need to work on the reflections in the
water, um, and the
face of the boy before it’s
finished.
S:I often work with multiples and,
you know, using a mirror or the
same image
twice and what I wanted to do was link the two
portraits
together with the string. It’s kind
of the string of thought or this idea of
remembering or the resilience of memory.
A:I don’t just paint from photographs. I try
to make a work of art.
Um, I try to
make a painting that goes beyond a mere
photographic image.
I try to capture something
about the soul of the, or the essence of this
person.
S:This piece here is, uh, it’s
called The Measure of Decay and
behind the
piece there are portraits, again, of me I have
this clay covering
on that has cracked and so
it’s, it’s kind of like the process of decay. So
as
each portrait goes around you can, you can
see the image in a different
focus. I love
painting portraits.
A:I love painting but
portraits are very special because they’re about
people.
S:I’m fascinated by portraiture
in general, and the human body and
how the
image lives over time. I like to capture what is
unique and
special about an individual in
paint.
蒙娜丽莎,作为世界上做最著名的画,在当时的时代是完完全全
颠覆性的。列奥
纳多·达·芬奇在创作这幅画的时候突破了一切的规
则限制,甚至是他自己的。在达芬奇创作的这幅画中
,尽管他其他广
大艺术家都认在画像中妇女只能以眼睛微向下看的姿态出现,可是他
仍然将蒙娜
丽莎画为直视着看画者。她的身体则是另外一个突破。当
她的脸是对着正前方的时候,她的身体略微转过
一个角度,这个姿势
将一种动感和张力结合到了一起。另外一个突破传统的就是蒙娜丽莎
没有佩
戴任何的珠宝或者是装饰品。最后一点,肖像画的背景通常指
向一个真实的地点,而列奥纳多的肖像画的
背景看起来都是梦幻一般
的。
安普法夫:我喜欢做的一件事情是,恩,思考她
的脸还有为什么
她是这样的姿态,她想通过她的脸传达什么,我曾认为她的脸告诉我
们不止一个
故事。比如说,如果我遮起她的脸的一边儿,她看起来会
有些悲伤或者说是沉默寡言的,几乎是遮遮掩掩
的。
斯科特麦克马洪:她的眼睛是那种像看着我们,又像看着我们周
围,或许还是穿过了我们
。在一定程度上,我想在这幅画中,她是旁
观者,而我们却成了画的主题。她的这种表情仿佛表示出她知
道某些
我们不知道的事情。
安普法夫:而后当我遮起她的另一边脸看刚才一边的时候,她看<
br>起来快乐一些,恩,或者说更满足的。整体一起看的时候,它又有一
种关于她的神秘感,恩,让理
解她的脸变的难以捉摸。
斯科特麦克马洪:有一种猜测说蒙娜丽莎这幅画是达芬奇的自画
像,
而我认为,这些特点是集合了蒙娜丽莎还有达芬奇的素描。
斯科特麦克马洪和安普法夫都是肖像画艺术
家。他们认为肖像画
可以讲述一个故事而且令人深思,就像多年前蒙娜丽莎这幅画的作用
一样。
安普法夫:当我年轻的时候,恩,我喜欢,恩,读关于人的书,
还有关于人的相互关系的,他们
之间各种各样的关系,所以当我成为
一个画家的时候,很自然地我会去关注画人还有在书中找寻相似的故
事去讲述它们。
斯科特麦克马洪:恩,我的大部分工作由摄影自画像组成。恩,
我很乐意将自己作为主题,恩,不仅仅是画的创作者,而且是画的主
角或者是表演者。所以在
我的肖像画作品中,我试图去抓住,恩,或
多或少一个人的更深层的本质。这儿的这个工作需要借助针孔
摄像机
完成,它需要很长的曝光时间,所以你可以在这个肖像画的过程中感
受到时间的流逝。它
并不是,并不是一个瞬间的,它本身可以是五分
钟的曝光时间。
安普法夫:这是我正在进行的
另一个作品。我几乎快要完成了,
可是在真正完成之前仍然有一些工作,比如说水的反射,恩,还有这<
br>男孩儿的脸。
斯科特麦克马洪:你知道的,我工作的时候经常和倍数打交道,
还有用镜
子或者相同的东西两次,我所想要做的是将两幅肖像用一根
线联系起来。那是一种思想的线,或者说是记
忆,还有记忆的重现。
安普法夫:我不仅仅是按照图片作画。我试图做关于艺术的工作。
恩,
我试着画一种超越了仅仅是图片的画。我试着捕捉一些关于人的
灵魂或者是关于人的本质的东西。 斯科特麦克马洪:这里的东西,恩,叫做衰退的测量,在这张陶
土的后面是一些肖像,再一次,我将
陶土中间弄碎,所以它是,它像
是一种衰退的过程。所以,当每一幅肖像转动的时候,你可以,你可以在不同的焦点上看这些画。
安普法夫:我喜爱画肖像画。我喜欢画画但是肖像画是非常特殊
的,因为它们是关于人的。 <
br>斯科特麦克马洪:我通常被肖像艺术所吸引,还有人的躯体和这
些画是如何在岁月
中存活下来。我喜欢在画中捕捉一些独特的东西还
有有关个体的一些特质。
Listening in conversation 1
Lily: So what
was the highlight of your trip to (South)Korea?
Hugh: Well that's…let me see...it's got to be
going to see Nanta.
Lily: What on earth is
Nanta?
Hugh:It's this amazing live show-part
theater-part dance-part music.
Lily: Sounds
really interesting. But why’s it so brilliant?
Hugh: I think it's the energy of the
performers. Also it has a unique
concept. It's
a mixture of traditional Korean music, percussion
and
drums, into a western style performance
Lily: I've never heard of it. Has it ever
been performed in the West?
Hugh: Yeah, it's
been a sell-out. They've toured in over 30
countries since
the show began in 's a non-
verbal performance so there are
no language
barriers. That's what's made it an international
success.
Lily: What else makes it so
special then?
Hugh: Well...the other thing is
that all the action takes place in the kitchen.
You see these four chefs preparing the food
for a wedding
reception. The performers use
knives, dustbin lids and various
other kitchen
utensils to create a hypnotic soundtrack. The food
literally flies everywhere! It's
hilarious.
Lily: That sounds quite funny I
must admit. Is there an actual story
though?
Hugh: Oh yes, there is a story. The four chefs
have to prepare the meal by
6 o'clock and they
also have to give the manager's nephew
cooking
lessons too, which adds to the fun. There’s loads
of
audience participation and despite there
being no language
involved you get completely
engrossed. It's really quite wacky!
Lily: And
what about the audience? I suppose they start
throwing food
around…?
Hugh: Not quite!
But they are totally involved in what's going
on-everyone loves it. It's a really great
family show. In fact it's one
of the best
shows I've ever seen. Jim, my friend, says he
takes all
his visitors. He's seen it about
eight times and still loves it.
Lily: I bet
it's popular with tourists then.
Hugh: Well
apparently over a million foreign tourists in
(South)Korea
have seen the show and it's had a
run on Broadway too. It first got
popular
after they appeared at the Edinburgh Festival. Now
they
are planning to tour more cities in Asia
where (South) Korean
popular culture is
becoming incredibly trendy.
Lily: By the way
what does“Nanta” mean?
Hugh:It means random
drumming in Korean. The English name for the
show is Cookin’, which gives you a
clearer idea of what it's all
about.
Lily:
You've got me interested now. I'll have to check
it out on the
internet.
丽莉:这次你的韩国之行有什么让你难忘的事情么?
休:
额。。。让我想想。。。应该是去看Nanta这件事吧。
丽莉:到底什么是Nanta?
休: 他是个很精彩的舞台剧,应该说是戏剧,舞蹈以及音乐的大综
合吧。
丽莉:那听起来挺有意思啊。不过它为什么那么精彩?
休: 我想应该是因为演员们的活力
吧。还有就是这个舞台剧本身包
含一个很独特的概念。它是一种将传统朝鲜音乐,打击乐器和
鼓
融合进西方风格的表演
丽莉:我从来没有听说过她,这个节目在西方国家上映过么?
休:
当然,而且场场爆满。自1997年这个节目正式开始表演以来,
Nanta的表演团队已经游遍了三十
多个国家。Nanta是一个非
语言类的表演,因此演员与观众之间不存在语言交流的障碍,
而
这恰恰就是让它在全球范围内取得成功的原因。
丽莉:它还有什么让它变得如此特别的亮点?
休: 额。。。说道其他的特点的话,应该就是表演中所有的事情都发
生在厨房。你会看到4
个主厨在厨房中为准备婚宴餐点而忙
碌。演员们用刀具,垃圾箱的盖子以及其他各式各样的厨具来
制造出令人着迷的音效。舞台上的各种食物简直就是在飞来飞
去,这很有意思的。
丽莉:我承认,这听起来很有趣。但是表演内容中有没有一个完整的
故事?
休:
有啊,那四个主厨必须在6点之前准备好婚宴晚餐,同时又要
给经理的侄子上烹饪课,这些元素都使整部
节目充满笑点。节
目中还包含大量观众参与互动的环节,尽管节目与语言毫不相
关,但每个人都
全神贯注于其中。这真的有点古怪,不是么?
丽莉:来谈一谈观众们的反应吧,我猜他们一定开始四处仍食物了
吧?
休: 并非
完全如此。但他们确实全都沉浸在整部节目中,毕竟每个
观众都喜爱它。这是一部非常适合家庭成员一起
观看的表演。
说实话,他是我所看过的节目中最好的节目之一。我的一个朋
友Jim说,他会带
他所有的客户来看这节目。他已经看过约8
次了,却仍不厌烦。
丽莉:我打赌它肯定很受旅客们的喜爱
休: 恩。。。显然,成百上千到韩国旅游的游客都
看过这部节目,而
且nanta也在百老汇上演过。当初,Nanta在爱丁堡的庆典上
开始受
到世人的瞩目。而现在,Nanta节目组正准备在更多的
亚洲城市进行巡演,韩国的流行文化显然在这
些地方十分地受
欢迎。
丽莉:顺便问一下,Nanta是什么意思?
休: 在韩国,它是胡乱击鼓的意思。他的英文名是Cookin’s,英文名
可以让你更好地理解这个节目的主题。
丽莉:好吧,你的话激起了我对他的兴趣。我要上网查一查它了

Conversation 2
Interviewer: Kathy Richards is a specialist
art tour guide. Kathy-can you
tell us what
trends you've noticed in recent years?
Kathy:
Well, one of the biggest phenomena I've noticed is
a huge
increase in visitors to galleries-and a
growing interest in
modern art in general.
Interviewer: What do you think the reason is
for that?
Kathy: Well, there are several
reasons, I think. The most important
ones are
firstly, that some new contemporary art galleries
have opened which have had a lot of publicity,
and secondly
the younger generation feel more
comfortable with modern
art so the kind of
people visiting galleries is changing.
Finally, the new generation of galleries have
become
destinations in themselves...they tend
to be housed in
amazing buildings.
Interviewer: So which are the most popular new
galleries?
Kathy: Well, the Tate Modern in
London has had over 30 million
