聽力每日練習(xí) listen 4255 How was your vacation

 
2--It was wonderful. I went to Paris.
 
1--Paris? The "City of Light"?!
 
2--Yes, and it was so beautiful. No wonder it has attracted the admiration of the whole world.
 
1--What did you see? I  heard there're many  fabulous  cathedrals, palaces,statues and monuments.
 
2--I went to the famous Louvere museum on the first day. The rooms were full of paintings, sculptures, furniture, jewelry and antiquities from all over the world.
 
1--Did you see the Mona Lisa?
 
2--Yes,it was one of the most popular exhibits. There was a long line of people waiting to have a glimpse of it. Even I，for many years,had dreamed of seeing it in person,but when 1 actually saw it,I thought it was just so-so.
 
1--Maybe that was because the Louvere has so many other impressive works of art to compare it with. Where did you go on the second day?
 
2--I spent the whole day visiting the Palace of Versailles which is about a one-hour ride southwest of Paris. It was so outstanding and beautiful!
 
1--When was it built?
 
2--In  the  1700s  by  the  most  famous French king Louis XIV,the Sun King.

1--雷切爾，你看上去休息得不錯!假期過得怎么樣?
2--很好。我去了趟巴黎。
1--“不夜城”巴黎?!
2--是啊，那里特別美!難怪巴黎贏得了全世界的贊嘆。
1--你都去哪里了?我聽說那里有很多美輪美奐的教堂、宮殿、雕塑還有歷史建筑。
2--第一天我去了著名的盧浮宮博物館，各個展廳里全都擺滿了繪畫、雕塑、家具、珍寶還有來自世界各地的文物。
1--你看了《蒙娜麗莎》了嗎?
2--是啊，那幅畫是最受歡迎的展品之一。人們排成一條長隊，就等著看它一眼，即使是。我多年來也一直夢想著能親眼看到它，可是當(dāng)我真正看到這幅畫時，我覺得也就一般吧。
1--也許是因為盧浮宮里有太多其他精美的藝術(shù)品，和它們比起來，《蒙娜麗莎》也不算什么了。你第二天去哪里了?
2--第二天我一整天都在參觀凡爾賽宮。凡爾賽宮在巴黎西南方向，坐車大概要一個小時。這座宮殿真的是美極了!
1--凡爾賽宮是什么時候建的?
2--18世紀(jì)，大名鼎鼎的法國皇帝路易十四，又稱“太陽王”，修建了這座宮殿。
