英语简单口语对话：文物保护

　　有关“文物保护”的英语简单口语对话聊起来：

　　Daniel: May, is this the Hall of Ancient China?

　　May: Yes. Look at these historical relics here, amazing!

　　Daniel: Why are they all in glass boxes?

　　May: For protection. Some relics will turn to dust if exposed to air.

　　Daniel: So there isn't air in the glass boxes?

　　May: No, there isn't. They are all vacuumed.

　　Daniel: I wonder how old these things are, thousands of years?

　　May: Yeah, they all come from a very ancient time.

　　Daniel: Hey, look at the three-leg cup. I've seen it on TV.

　　May: The bronze cup was made 4,000 years ago. It's priceless!

　　Daniel: Yeah, it has no value at all. Who will use this cup today?

　　May: Danny, priceless means so valuable that you can't put a price on it.

　　Daniel: Oh, it does?

　　丹尼尔：阿美，这是古代中国馆吗?

　　阿美：是啊。看这些历史陈迹，真令人惊叹!

　　丹尼尔：为什么它们都被装在玻璃瓶里呢?

　　阿美：为了保护它们啊。一些文物放在空气中就会变成粉末。

　　丹尼尔：那么玻璃瓶中不空气了?

　　阿美：没有。它们都是真空的。

　　丹尼尔：真不知这些东西有多古老，多少千年?

　　阿美：是啊，它们都是来自古代。

　　丹尼尔：嘿，看这个三只脚的杯子。我在电视上看到过。

　　阿美：四千年前的青铜杯子。这可是无价之物!

　　丹尼尔：是啊，不一点价值。当初谁会用这种杯子啊?

　　阿美：丹丹，无价象征着价值大得无法计算。

　　丹尼尔：哦，是吗?
