The script of this programme 本節(jié)目臺詞

Yang Li: Are you interested in art? Art in all its forms?

William: If you are then you are in for a treat today as we are going to take you to the summer exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts. Hi, I'm William Kremer.

Yang Li: And I'm Yang Li. 今天我們要介紹皇家美術(shù)學院的夏季展。The Summer Exhibition - one of my favourites.

William: Our guide today is Edith Devaney, head curator for the summer exhibition.

Hello, my name is Edith Devaney and I work at the Royal Academy of Arts and look after the annual summer exhibition.

Yang Li: Edith 是夏季展的主管館員，她介紹了夏季展覽會的特點，請大家注意聽今年有多少參展作品？

Well, it's very popular, both in terms of the artists who submit work for consideration, and in terms of visitor numbers as well; and this year we had 12,000 submissions, which is quite a significant number.

William: Did you get it? There are 12,000 submissions this year. Quite impressive!

Yang Li: 是的，今年提交給上來的作品一共有一萬兩千件。 Submissions 意思是提交。

William: One significant fact about the Royal Academy's annual Summer Exhibition is that it is the world's largest open submission art show. And it's already in its 243rd year!

Yang Li: It's certainly one of the oldest art institutions in the UK. But what is unique about its summer exhibition? I asked Edith.

We say that it's a slice of contemporary art. Everything that we show here has to have been executed in the last one or two years; it has to be very current, and it's a mixture of all styles.

Yang Li: A slice of contemporary art. 現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)的一個縮影。而且每件展品都必須是在近一兩年內(nèi)完成，制成的 executed. 參展作品都有哪些風格呢？Here is Edith again:

We have oil paintings on canvas, we have paintings on boards, we have acrylic paintings, there are watercolours, there are prints - the different variety of print-making is amazing, from woodblock printing, to etching, to computer-generated printing. We have photography now, we have sculpture and we have architecture. There's also some video art and film, so it's all here.

William: Well it seems that the summer exhibition covers every single style of artistic work that you can imagine.

Yang Li: Indeed. Let's take a look at the key words associated with art.

William: Oil paintings on canvas.

Yang Li: 帆布油畫。

William: Acrylic paintings.

Yang Li: 丙烯畫。

William: Watercolours.

Yang Li: 水彩畫。

William: Woodblock printing.

Yang Li: 木版畫。

William: Etching.

Yang Li: 蝕刻板畫。

William: She also mentioned photography.

Yang Li: 她還提到了攝影作品。

William: And finally there's sculpture and architecture.

Yang Li: 再有就是雕塑和建筑設(shè)計作品。 Wow what a list!

William: It sounds like a feast of visual art! I think we'd better listen to that clip again.

We have oil paintings on canvas, we have paintings on boards, we have acrylic paintings, there are watercolours, there are prints - the different variety of print-making is amazing, from woodblock printing, to etching, to computer-generated printing. We have photography now, we have sculpture and we have architecture. There's also some video art and film, so it's all here.

William: As we know there are lots of galleries and museums in the UK. So what marks the Royal Academy out as different from other artistic institutions?

We have a group of academicians, who are eminent artists and architects, who are elected to be members here and to run it. So it's very much artist-focused.

Yang Li: 英國皇家美術(shù)學院的特點是它以藝術(shù)家為核心，是一支由顯赫藝術(shù)家和建筑學家組成的學院院士的隊伍來管理的藝術(shù)機構(gòu)。Will, would you mind giving us the following phrases?

William: Not at all.

Yang Li: 顯赫藝術(shù)家。

William: Eminent artists.

Yang Li: 建筑學家。

William: Architects.

Yang Li: 學院院士。

William: Academicians.

Yang Li: Well thanks Will. 最后，也是最重要的就是，皇家美術(shù)學院同意提供一些展覽的照片，非常難得，歡迎收看有聲圖輯。謝謝，再會！
