Live① from the Louvre
Hi,it’s Zack! Greetings② from Paris,everyone!This broadcast③ is being brought to you from one of the largest museums on Earth④ — the Louvre!Today we’re going to find out⑤ about some of the Louvre’s most amazing treasures.Here we go!
Now,at the top of⑥ these stone stairs⑦... get a load⑧ of that!That huge sculpture you can see[1] is the Winged Victory of Samothrace,or Nike of Samothrace! I can’t even begin to⑨ tell you how amazing this is![2]It looks like she has just flown down out of the sky[3] and is standing on a

ship.Her head and arms are missing⑩,but you can imagine⑪ her holding her arms up⑫ high,celebrating the result of an ancient battle⑬[4].And just look at how her dress is being folded⑭ by the wind!I really can’t believe she’s made of⑮ stone.The skill of the sculptor⑯ is just incredible⑰.
[1]you can see是定语从句,修饰先行词sculpture,省略了关系代词that或which。
[2]how amazing this is是宾语从句。
[3]It looks like “看上去像是...” ;like是介词,后面是宾语从句。
[4]动词-ing形式短语作伴随状语。
Okay,I’d better move on⑱.You can see there are so many people here.I’m being pushed around⑲ quite a bit,in fact.And you’re really going to love what’s coming up⑳ next[5].It’s the one and only㉑ Mona Lisa! The painting is a lot smaller than you would expect,and is protected by glass.But from here I can get a good view㉒ to show you.When I look into㉓ her eyes it seems she has a mind of her own㉔! One moment she seems to be laughing at me[6],but then again I catch a sense of sadness㉕ in her smile.I guess that’s why she attracts so many visitors every day[7].
[5]what’s coming up next 是宾语从句,what在从句中作主语。
[6]seem to be doing “好像正在做某事”。
[7]that’s why... “那就是……的原因”,why引导表语从句。
And now,it’s time to get up close and personal with㉖ one of history’s greatest artists — Rembrandt![8] He painted this self-portrait㉗ about 400 years ago.Throughout his life,he made over 90 self-portraits!No one really knows why.Perhaps it was his way of taking a 17th-century selfie?Or was it simply cheaper to paint himself than to pay for a model?[9]
[8]it’s time to do sth “到做某事的时间了”。
[9]it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式to paint himself than to pay for a model。pay for sb“为某人支付钱”。
About 35,000 works are currently㉘ being displayed in over 300 rooms in the Louvre,and it would take a lifetime to see everything![10] I’ll say bye for now,and hope you can all visit this fantastic㉙ place one day to feel the power of these great works of art for yourselves㉚[11].They really do reach out to㉛ us[12] across the centuries as if time itself were nothing.By

the way,if you have enjoyed this live broadcast,subscribe㉜ to find out where I’m visiting next![13]
[10]it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式to see everything,其结构是it takes some time to do sth“做某事花费多少时间”。
[11]to feel the power of... 是动词不定式作目的状语。
[12]do用在动词原形的前面,表示强调谓语动词,意为“的确”。
[13]where I’m visiting next是宾语从句。

来自卢浮宫的直播
嗨,我是扎克!我在巴黎向大家问好!本次直播地点是地球上最大的博物馆之一——卢浮宫!今天我们将一起探索卢浮宫里的奇珍异宝。让我们开始吧!
现在,我们到了这段石头阶梯的顶端……看那里!你们看到的这尊巨大的雕像就是《萨莫色雷斯的胜利女神》,又名《萨莫色雷斯的奈基》! 我都不知道该如何向你们形容这个雕塑有多惊人!她看起来好像刚刚从高空飞落,正站立在船上。虽然头部和手臂已经遗失了,但你们仍然可以想象她正高举双臂,庆祝一场古老战役的胜利。看她裙子上被风吹出的皱褶!我简直不敢相信她是石头做的。雕刻家的技艺真令人难以置信。
好了,我得往前走了。你们能看见,这儿有好多人。实际上,我一直在被挤来挤去。你们肯定会喜欢接下来出现的展品。那就是独一无二的《蒙娜丽莎》!这幅画比你们想象的要小很多,而且被玻璃罩着。不过我在这里可以拍得很清楚来给你们看。当我与她对视的时候,我觉得她好像有自己的思想!上一刻她仿佛还在取笑我,而下一刻我却能从她的微笑中捕捉到一丝悲伤。我想那就是她能每天吸引那么多游客的原因吧。
现在,是时候近距离亲身了解历史上最伟大的画家之一——伦勃朗啦!他在大约400年前画了这幅自画像。终其一生,他一共画了90多幅自画像!没有人真正知道原因。也许这是他在17世纪“自拍”的方式?又或许只是因为画自己比花钱请模特儿更实惠?
卢浮宫共有300多个房间,目前正在展出的艺术品大约是35 000件,而要看完所有的展品大概需要一辈子!今天我们就先到这里,希望有一天你们都能来参观这个美妙之地,亲身感受这些伟大艺术作品的魅力。这些作品穿越几个世纪,确实出现在我们面前,仿佛时间没有流逝一般。哦,对了,如果你们喜欢这场直播,请点击“订阅”,关注我下一站的目的地吧!
