Conversation 1
W: Wow! I
would give anything to be more like Audrey
Hepburn!
M:
(

)
I never really
understood why so many girls were such big fans of
her. I mean I've seen the
famous films,
RomeH oliday, breakfast at Tiffany's, and a few
others, but I still don't fully get it. Was
she that great of an actress
W: Well, for me, my adoration goes
beyond her movies. She had such a classic elegance
about her.
She was always so poised, in
part because she spent years training as a ballet
dancer before
becoming an actress.
M: Why didn't she stick to dancing as a
career
W: It seems it was
fate. (2)She suffered from inadequate
nutrition during the war,
and therefore
a career as a professional dancer would have been
too demanding on her body. So she
focused on acting instead. Roman
Holiday was her first big break which made her a
star.
M: Was that the film that opened
with her shopping for jewelry in New York city,
you know, the scene
she was wearing a
black dress and dark sunglasses with a pearl
necklace and long black gloves I see
the photo of her in that costume
everywhere.
W: No, that one is
Breakfast at Tiffany's. That costume is often
referred to as the most famous little
black dress of all time. (3)Her
character in that film is very outgoing and
charming, even though in real
life
Audrey always described herself as shy and quiet.
M: So what did she do after her acting
career
W: (4)She dedicated much of her
life to helping children in need. Her family
received international aid
during the
war when she was growing up. I think that left a
big impression on her. That's where I got
the idea to volunteer for children's
charity
next weekend.
M:
I'll join you. I may not be as charming as Audrey
Hepburn, but I'm all for supporting a good cause.

career
为什么她没有将跳舞作为职业呢
It seems it was fate.
或许
是因为命运吧。
She suffered from inadequate nutrition
during the war, and therefore a career as a
professional dancer
would have been too
demanding on her body.
她在战时营养不良，如果做职业舞者
的话，对她身体的要求就非常高。
So she
focused on acting instead.
所以她就专注于演戏。
Roman
Holiday was her first big break, which made her a
star.
《罗马假日》是她的第一部爆款，她因
此成为明星
。
Was that the film that
opened with her shopping for jewelry in New York
City

在纽约买珠宝
You know, the scene she was wearing a
black dress and dark sunglasses with a pearl
necklace and
long black gloves.

Airline
passengers have to deal with a lot these days,
getting bumped from flights and losing luggage
on top of the general line anxiety that
nervous passengers always feel. At the Cincinnati
northern
Kentucky international
airport, miniature horses
deliver a
calming force two times a month. Denver and Ruby
are two of the thirty-fourth therapy horses
brought in from a local farm. They can
usually be found in the ticket counter area
interacting with
travelers. More than
thirty airports across the country now have
therapy dogs. San Francisco has a
therapy pig. San Jose, California,
began a dog program after the terrorist attacks of
September the
eleventh. Since its
beginning,
the program has now grown
and has twenty-one therapy dogs and
a
therapy cat. The animals don't get startled. They
have had hundreds of hours of airport training, so
they are used to having luggage and
people crowding around them. These professional
animals are
probably better at finding
their way in the airports than the most frequent
of travelers. The passengers
often say
that seeing animals makes them feel much better
and helps them to calm down before a
flight. This little bit of support can
sometimes make a big difference. Somep assengers
enjoy the
animals so much that they
call the airport to schedule flights around their
visits. Visits to nursing
homes and
schools are also a regular part of the horse's
schedule. Their owner is already working on
a new idea for a therapy animal
donkeys.

2 Hello,
viewers.
各位参观者好！
Today I'm standing at a two-thousand-
year-old Roman-era site.
我们现在站在有着两千年历史的
罗马时
期遗址上。
Here the
brightly colored scenes that once decorated a
mansion are being dug up.
这些颜色明亮的景
象曾经装饰过一栋别墅，现在正在挖掘出来。
These scenes are turning up in the
southern French city of Oral, surprising the
historians who have
been working here
since two thousand fourteen,
这些景象都出现在法国
南部城市欧乐，这令历史学家
们感到惊奇，他们从
2014
年开始一直
在这里工作，
patches of
paint still clinging to the stone walls of the
bedroom and reception hall.
画上修补的部分仍留
在卧室和接待厅的石墙上。
Some
of these painted walls are preserved in places to
a height of one meter.

在一米高的地方。
In
addition, thousands of fragments that fell off the
walls have been recovered, these pieces have
been put back together with great care
and display a variety of images.
另外，
墙上脱落的无数碎片已经得到修复，
这些碎片被小心翼翼地放回原处，
呈现各种不同
的图
像。
Some of these images include figures
never seen before in France, such as a woman
playing a
stringed instrument, possibly
a character from mythology.
一些画中包括之前在法国
从没有出现过的形
象，
例如一位女性在演奏弦乐，
可能是神话中的
人物。
The paintings
were done with such skill and with such expensive
dyes that experts believe the artist
originally came from Italy.
这些画都是以高超的技巧和昂贵的颜料创作，以至于专家们认为艺术家来自于意大利。
They were likely hired by one of the
city's elite, perhaps a Roman official wanted
Pompeii-like interior
to remind him of
home.
他们可能是由城市的某位精英雇用，
可能是一位罗马官员想有庞贝古城那样的内部，
让他感
觉到在
自己家里。
He was probably stationed in this
provincial trading port, founded in 46 B. C. as a
colony for veterans
of the Roman army.
他可能驻扎在这个省级贸易港口，这里于公元前
46
年建立，是罗马军队老兵的殖民地。
Or maybe a wealthy local wanted to show
off his worldly sophistication.
或许是当地一个
富人想要显示
自己的老练。
The
paintings may yield even more stunning surprises
as additional sections are put together, like
pieces of a puzzle,
当其他部分像拼图
游戏一样拼到一起的时候，这些画甚至可能带来更令人震惊的惊
奇。
whoever it was that created such
magnificent pieces of art, they surely had no idea
that their work
