旁白Listen to part of a lecture in an art history class.
請聽一段藝術史課的講課。
男When we look at old paintings, we often see colors that seem dull. But many of them were once much brighter. Some pigments used by painters, like certain yellows and reds, fade when exposed to light over centuries. Others change color because of chemical reactions with the air. Today, museums protect paintings by keeping the lights low and controlling the humidity. Scientists can even use X-rays to discover the original colors hidden underneath.
我們看古畫時，常常覺得顏色很暗淡。但很多畫以前鮮豔得多。畫家用的某些顏料，例如某些黃色和紅色，經過幾世紀照光就會褪色；另一些則因為和空氣起化學反應而變色。現在博物館用低亮度的燈光和控制濕度來保護畫作。科學家甚至能用 X 光找出底下原本的顏色。

旁白Listen to part of a lecture in a business class.
請聽一段商業課的講課。
女Let's discuss why some small businesses succeed where large companies fail. Take local bookstores. Ten years ago, many people predicted online retailers would close them all. Instead, a lot of independent bookstores are doing well. Why? They offer something online shops can't: personal recommendations from staff, author events and a sense of community. In other words, they stopped competing on price and started competing on experience.
我們來討論為什麼有些小商家能在大公司失敗的地方成功。以在地書店為例。十年前很多人預測網路零售商會讓書店全部倒閉。結果很多獨立書店經營得很好。為什麼？它們提供網路商店做不到的東西：店員的個人推薦、作家活動和社群感。換句話說，它們不再拚價格，而是拚體驗。
