1. 听写包答案:
Student: And that was the purpose?
To impress people?
Professor: Sure. As a nobleman or wealthy landowner, one purpose of having a fabulous villa with a fantastic garden was to impress people.
It was a way of proving your social position.
Student: Well...OK.
You also mentioned tricks.
Professor: Well, for example, some gardens had plaster or marble birds that sang when water flowed through them.
Some fountains were designed to squirt people with water.
Student: And these things were popular?
Professor: Yes. They may have been the most popular features of the gardens.
I mean, flowers and statues can be nice to look at, but these things were a lot more fun.
And the more clever the device is, the more famous the garden and the greater prestige the landowner enjoyed.
Yes? Rebecca.
Student: What about mazes?
I read that they were a major part of the Renaissance gardens.
Professor: Oh, yes.
They certainly were!
Mazes or labyrinths, as they're also called, were very common in Renaissance gardens.
How that came to be though is a bit of a mystery.
Mazes have a long history going back to the ancient Egyptians, but they started appearing in gardens only during the Renaissance, or perhaps just a little bit prior to that.
According to one source, what happened was: in the late 1400s, a highly respected expert published a book on architecture.
And readers somehow mistakenly inferred from that book that ancient Romans had mazes in their gardens.
So then designers of Renaissance gardens thinking they were following in the footsteps of the ancient Romans...well...guess what they did.
What does the professor mainly discuss?
The professor mentions three authors from ancient Roman, what point does the professor make about the three authors?
Why does the professor mention Hero of Alexandria?
According to the professor, what was one goal of the designers of Renaissance gardens?
What does the professor imply about mazes?
Listen again to part of the lecture, then answer the question.
As we've said before, the main point of the Renaissance was to revive the genius of the ancient Greeks and Romans, which is why designers of Renaissance gardens designed them as the ancient Romans would have designed them, or at least as they imagined the ancient Romans would have designed them.
What does the professor imply when he said this: which is why designers of Renaissance gardens designed them as the ancient Romans would have designed them, or at least as they imagined the ancient Romans would have designed them.
学生:那就是全部目的了吗?
打动人们?
教授:当然。作为一个贵族或富有的地主,拥有极佳的别墅,还附有极美的花园,其中一个目的就是为了给人们留下深刻印象。
这是证明社会地位的一种方式。
学生:好吧。
你提到了花招。
教授:举个例子,一些花园里有石膏或大理石做的鸟,在水流过时会唱歌。
有的喷泉被设计成向人们喷水。
学生:这些东西都很流行?
教授:对。这些很可能是花园中最常见的特征了。
我是说,花朵和雕像当然给人以视觉享受,但这些东西有趣多了。
而且装置越巧妙,花园就越著名,地主也就享有更多声望。
丽贝卡。
学生:那迷宫呢?
我看到过,迷宫是文艺复兴时期花园的主要部分。
教授:对。
它们当然是!
迷宫(他们是这么叫的)在文艺复兴时期的花园里非常常见。
到底是怎么发展而来的,还是个谜。
迷宫的历史非常悠久,追溯到古埃及时期,但迷宫只在文艺复兴时期出现在花园里,或可能稍微早些。
根据某信息来源,发生的事情如下:在15世纪晚期,一位备受尊敬的专家出版了一本建筑方面的书。
不知怎么的,读者从书中误得出古罗马人的花园里有迷宫的结论。
接着,文艺复兴时期的花园设计师们以为他们跟随了古罗马人的脚步......猜猜他们到底做的是什么?
教授主要讲了什么?
教授提到了古罗马的三位作者,对于这三位作者,他表达什么观点?
为什么教授提起亚历山大港的希罗?
根据教授所言,文艺复兴时期花园设计师的一大目标是什么?
关于迷宫,教授暗示了什么?
再听一遍部分课程,回答问题。
正如我们之前所说,文艺复兴主要是为了让古希腊和古罗马的辉煌艺术重现光彩,这就是为什么文艺复兴时期的花园设计师将花园设计成古罗马人会设计成的样子,或至少是他们想象中古罗马人会这么设计。
教授这么说,言外之意是什么?“这就是为什么文艺复兴时期的花园设计师将花园设计成古罗马人会设计成的样子,或至少是他们想象中古罗马人会这么设计。”
2.阅读包答案:
如今互联网已经改变了一些日常消遣,比如像购书和发邮件,现在也同样在重塑多诺万所从事的职业。
3.写作包答案: Satire exists because there is need for it. It has livedbecause readers appreciate a refreshing stimulus,an irreverent reminder that they live in a world ofplatitudinous thinking, cheap moralizing, and foolishphilosophy.
