Lecture1

原文

NARRATOR: Listen to part of a lecture in an art history class.

MALE PROFESSOR: OK, so we’ve all heard of the Louvre, right? Maybe the most

famous art museum in Paris, France? In 1793 the Louvre was the first museum to

open its doors to the public. Up till then, there were lots of private museums…private

collections in the homes of Europe’s royalty and nobility…but only a select few were

invited to see those works of art. The idea of a public museum was, in essence, a new

one.

Now, when the Louvre opened as a public museum, it was free to all artists every day

of the week. But to those who were not artists—y’know, the rest of the general

public? Well, they were only allowed to visit the museum on certain days. And that’s

because the public museum was first seen as a teaching institution—a place where

past artistic achievements would be available to current artists to learn from.

OK, so you see the first step was taken—from museums that were just private

institutions owned by royalty…to the Louvre, a museum open to the public—with

some restrictions. But then there was another shift…and that was brought about by a

French painter named Alexandre Lenoir. Lenoir was a young and enthusiastic artist

who’d been assigned to be the supervisor of a storehouse for artworks in 1791.

Y’see, the French Revolution was taking place at that time, and many national

monuments and other works of art were getting damaged or destroyed.

Consequently, a couple of large buildings in Paris were dedicated as storehouses for

rescued artworks. Five years later, in 1796, Lenoir did something unique with the art

in his storehouse—something never done before: he classified and displayed the paintings and statues by period and style.

So people began to notice—and admire—what Lenoir was doing. And soon, he

transformed his storehouse into what would become the National Museum of French

Monuments, which would later become a branch of the very Louvre that started this

whole discussion. And, uh, what’s even more notable is that, Lenoir’s system of

classification and display—it became a model for other public art museums…with

each room in the museum representing a different century or period of art. Lenoir’s

belief that a museum should be concerned with public instruction and offer

education according to historical periods—this concept seems obvious now, but it

was groundbreaking back then.

Interestingly, though, not everyone was, uhh…impressed with Lenoir…or with

museums in general, for that matter. There were people—including some artists and

historians—who were as much against museums as Lenoir was for them. In fact,

some argued that museums would pretty much bring an end to art. They contended

that works of art removed from their original context were…incomplete—that

artworks ought to remain in the places…the mountains, towns, uhh…in the locations

where they were originally created and viewed.

Take a painting created in an Italian seaside village, for example. Could that painting

maintain its same identity once it was moved to a museum in France? Nowadays,

most of us know and appreciate the fact that we can go to a museum and see many

works of art from different time periods, artists, and countries. The fact that anyone

can go into one place and see works of distant cultures, enjoy their beauty, and even

find inspiration in them benefits us all. The Louvre clearly embraces this concept. But

there are still some skeptics, people today who are just as skeptical of art museums

as the critics were back in Lenoir’s day…and for all the same reasons.

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and a

professor.

Student: Hi, I was wondering if I could talk with you about

the assignment in the film theory class.

Professor: Of course, Jill.

Student: It seems that pretty much everyone else in the class

gets what they are supposed to be doing but I’m not so sure.

Professor: Well, the class is for students who are really

serious about film. You must have taken film courses before.

Student: Yeah, in high school, film appreciation.

Professor: Hmmm…I wouldn’t think that would be enough.

Did you concentrate mainly on form or content?

Student: Oh, definitely content. We’d watch, say Lord of the

Flies, and then discuss it.

Professor: Oh, that approach, treating film as literature,

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and a counselor at the University Counseling Center.

Student: Hi, thanks for seeing me on such short notice.

Counselor: No problem. How can I help?

Student: Well, I think I might have made a mistake coming to the school.

Counselor: What makes you say that?

Student: I’m a little overwhelmed by the size of this place. I come from a small town. There were only 75 of us in my high school graduating class.Everyone knew everyone. We all grew up together.

Counselor: So it’s a bit of a culture shock for you? Being one of 15,000 students on a big campus in an unfamiliar city?

Student: That’s an understatement. I just can’t get comfortable in class or in the dorms. You know, socially.

Listen to part of a lecture in a sociology class.

Professor:

Have you ever heard the one about alligators living in New

York sewers? The story goes like this: a family went on vacation

in Florida and bought a couple of baby alligators as presents

for their children, then returned from vacation to New York

bringing the alligators home with them as pets.But the

alligators would escape and find their way into the New York

sewer system where they started reproducing, grew to huge sizes

and now strike fear into sewer workers. Have you heard this

story?Well, it isn’t true and it never happened.But despite

that, the story has been around since the 1930s.

Or how about the song 'twinkle, twinkle little star', you

know,'twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you
