（★ 聽對話內容） 本週話題焦點：藝術作品欣賞（就是要這幅畫了！）
Lisa is going to make her final decision and pick out a painting to give to her friend as a going away present. Kevin is also going to buy one to hang up in his living room.
Lisa 要做出她最後的決定，挑出一幅畫作為給她朋友的離別禮物。Kevin 同樣也要買一幅畫掛在他的客廳裡。 |
Kevin: So which one are you going to buy? Kevin：那麼你要買哪一幅畫呢？
Lisa: Well, I've narrowed it down to these two paintings. I'll either buy this fabulous oil painting of Jade Mountain or this seascape painting of Kenting. My friend is a real beach bum and she always loved to go and hang out in Kenting when she had a long vacation. Which one do you prefer? Lisa：這個嘛，我已經將範圍縮小到這兩幅畫。我要不就是買這幅玉山的絕美油畫，要不就是這幅墾丁的海景畫。我朋友是個名副其實的海灘女孩，當她放長假時，她老是愛在墾丁消磨時間。你比較喜歡哪一幅？
Kevin: I really like the Jade Mountain one. The snow-capped mountains and sunrise look breathtaking. I think you should get that one. Kevin：我真的很喜歡玉山的這一幅。籠罩著皚皚白雪的山峰和日出看起來真是讓人為之屏息。我覺得你應該買這一幅。
Lisa: We hiked up Jade Mountain last year and I remember that she said it was one of her most memorable moments in Taiwan. So that settles it. I'll get that one! I'll see if I can get it gift wrapped. So which one are you going to pick out for your living room? Lisa：我們去年爬過玉山，我記得她說那是她在台灣最難忘的時刻之一。那麼就這麼決定了。我要買那一幅！我看看能不能讓它被包裝成禮物。那麼你要挑哪一幅掛在你的客廳啊？
Kevin: I've had my eye on this one since we came in. Kevin：自從我們進來以後，我一直在注意這一幅。
Lisa: You mean this nude portrait? Lisa：你是指這幅裸體肖像？
Kevin: Yeah. I think the woman in this painting looks very sensual and I think that it'll go well with the leather sofa in my living room. Kevin：是阿。我覺得這幅畫裡的女人很性感，應該會和我客廳裡的皮沙發很相襯。
Lisa: Did you look at the price tag yet? Lisa：你看過標價了嗎？
Kevin: Yeah. It's only 1000NT which is well within my budget! Kevin：有阿。它才一千元台幣，在我預算之內！
