Iktinos: I can’t believe we’re in one of the world’s most famous structures. Look at this architecture!
Pinda: Yeah, great, another old building. I’m going to sit in that bay window and rest my feet while you walk around.
Iktinos: Come on, come with me. Just look at these columns and beams. They’re over 2,000 years old!
Pinda: Right, they’re old. Everything we’ve seen these past two weeks has been old. What’s so special about this?
Iktinos: Are you trying to tell me that you don’t think this dome 1 is impressive? It’s one of the largest in the world. Look at those cornices and skylights. I’ve never seen anything like them.
Pinda: This building has a good facade 2, with nice balance and symmetry, but I’m so tired of looking at the same style of building, one after another. Aren’t we going to see anything else today?
Iktinos: We are seeing some of the most important monuments to human ingenuity 3.
Pinda: You’re right, but I’m too tired to walk up and down all three stories. You go. I’ll stay here on this balcony.
Iktinos: What are you going to do here?
Pinda: I’m going to think about how I’d remodel 4 the building to bring it up to date.
Iktinos: You’re hopeless!
Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
- The dome was supported by white marble columns.圆顶由白色大理石柱支撑着。
- They formed the dome with the tree's branches.他们用树枝搭成圆屋顶。
- The entrance facade consists of a large full height glass door.入口正面有一大型全高度玻璃门。
- If you look carefully,you can see through Bob's facade.如果你仔细观察，你就能看穿鲍勃的外表。
- The boy showed ingenuity in making toys.那个小男孩做玩具很有创造力。
- I admire your ingenuity and perseverance.我钦佩你的别出心裁和毅力。
