Section Ⅰ Starting out & Understanding ideas
Live① from the Louvre
Hi， it’s Zack！ Greetings②from Paris， everyone！This broadcast③is being brought to you from one of the largest museums on Earth — the Louvre！Today we’re going to find out about some of the Louvre’s most amazing treasures.Here we go！
Now， at the top of these stone stairs④ ...get a load⑤ of that！That huge sculpture [1]you can see is the Winged Victory of Samothrace， or Nike of Samothrace！ I can’t even begin to⑥ tell you [2]how amazing this is！ [3]It looks like she has just flown down out of the sky and is standing on a ship.Her head and arms are missing⑦， but you can imagine⑧ her holding her arms up⑨ high， [4]celebrating the result of an ancient battle⑩.And just look at how her dress is being folded⑪ by the wind！I really can’t believe she’s made of stone.The skill of the sculptor⑫ is just incredible⑬.
[1]you can see是省略了关系代词that或which的定语从句，修饰先行词sculpture。
[2]how amazing this is是宾语从句，为tell的直接宾语。
[3]It looks like 意为“看上去像是……”，like是连词，she has just flown down out of the sky and is standing on a ship为表语从句。
[4]动词-ing短语作伴随状语。
Okay， I’d better move on⑭.You can see there are so many people here.I’m being pushed around⑮ quite a bit， in fact.And you’re really going to love [5]what’s coming up⑯ next.It’s the one and only⑰ 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 view⑱ to show you.When I look into her eyes⑲ it seems she has a mind of her own⑳！ One moment she [6]seems to be laughing at㉑ me， but then again I catch a sense of sadness㉒ in her smile.I guess [7]that’s why she attracts so many visitors every day.
[5]what’s coming up next 是宾语从句，what在从句中作主语。
[6]seem to be doing sth意为“好像正在做某事”。
[7]that’s why ...意为“那就是为什么……”，why引导表语从句，解释主语的原因。
And now， [8]it’s time to get up close and personal with㉓ one of history’s greatest artists — Rembrandt！ He painted this self-portrait㉔ about 400 years ago.Throughout his life㉕， he made over 90

self-portraits！No one really knows why.Perhaps it was his way of taking a 17th-century selfie？Or [9]was it simply cheaper to paint himself than to pay for a model？
[8]it’s time to do sth意为“到做某事的时间了”。
[9]it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语to paint himself than to pay for a model。pay for sb意为“为某人支付钱”。
About 35，000 works are currently㉖ being displayed in over 300 rooms in the Louvre， and [10]it would take a lifetime to see everything！ I’ll say bye for now， and hope you can all visit this fantastic㉗ place one day [11]to feel the power of these great works of art for yourselves㉘.They really [12]do reach out to㉙ us across the centuries as if time itself were nothing.By the way， if you have enjoyed this live broadcast， subscribe㉚ to find out [13]where I’m visiting next！
[10]it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式to see everything，其结构是it takes sometime to do sth意为“做某事花费多少时间”。
[11]to feel the power of ...是动词不定式短语作目的状语。
[12]do用在动词原形的前面，用来强调谓语动词，意为“的确”。
[13]where引导宾语从句。

现在，我们到了这段石头阶梯的顶端……台阶实在是太多了！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
