Daniel: May, is this the Hall of Ancient China?
May: Yes. Look at these historical relics 1 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 2.
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。看这些历史遗址，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：那么玻璃瓶中没有空气了？
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，几千年？
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，没有一点价值。如今谁会用这种杯子啊？
阿美：丹丹，无价意味着价值大得无法计算。
丹尼尔：哦，是吗？
