Lily: Do you like music and art?
Oliver: Are you into film and theatre?
Lily: If your answer is yes then you’re in for a treat today as we are taking you to the Barbican in London. I’m Lily.
Oliver: I’m Oliver. 大家好。今天我們要為您介紹的巴比肯藝術中心是歐洲最大的綜合藝術中心。
Lily: The Barbican is a huge building with a concert hall, two theatres, three cinemas, two art galleries, a conservatory and a public library.
Oliver: 這個藝術中心是一組龐大的建筑群。其中包括一個音樂廳、兩個劇院、三個電影院、兩個藝術畫廊、一所藝術學院以及一個公共圖書館。
Lily: You can find almost every form of art here at the Barbican. And that makes the Barbican very unique.
Oliver: Unique 獨特的，讓我們聽聽中心的藝術總監 Graham Sheffield 是怎么介紹巴比肯的。
What gives the Barbican its unique flavour is the fact that it does have venues, spaces, for each of the art forms. I don't know anywhere else in the world that has this configuration of spaces. So that gives us an opportunity to present work in a variety of different ways and juxtapositions, and people can come here and enjoy a whole range of activities over one or two or three days or nights, so you can see both the popular and the more esoteric art forms.
Graham Sheffield, Artistic Director of the Barbican
Lily: Because it has so much space, the Barbican can present work in a variety of different ways and juxtapositions. Juxtapositions.
Oliver: 并列的、并存的。 So what are the range of activities? Graham again:
So you can see both the popular and the more esoteric art forms. You can see, you know, the latest Harry Potter film, but also maybe a piece of Japanese animation or a film from Palestine, or a London Symphony Orchestra concert, or a Jazz concert, or a new dance from Africa, which we've got on at the moment, or an English production of Cymbeline by Shakespeare, or an exhibition of punk.
Graham Sheffield, Artistic Director of the Barbican
Lily: Wow what a list!
Oliver: 在巴比肯中心，觀眾能看到的藝術形式范圍之廣真是讓人吃驚。
Lily: Yes. You can see both the popular and the more esoteric.

Well, of course I'm going to say people must visit! I think the Barbican is worth a visit, not only for what it is, but for what it does and where it is.
Graham Sheffield, Artistic Director of the Barbican
Oliver:他說，對于外國游客來講，巴比肯絕對值得一游。不僅僅是藝術中心本身豐富多彩，而且所處的地理位置也是得天獨厚的。
Lily: So where is it located then?
It's right in the heart of the city of London. You're within two minutes walk from St. Paul's Cathedral, you're within 10 minutes walk of the Tate on the South Bank. You're in the heart of the business city, but also within reach of some of the most vibrant, multi-ethnic communities in London that surround the city, so it's a very vibrant area.
Graham Sheffield, Artistic Director of the Barbican
Lily: The Barbican is right in the heart of the city of London.
Oliver: 巴比肯恰恰就處在倫敦金融城的中心，離著名的圣保羅大教堂只有兩分鐘的距離。
Lily: Yes, two minutes walk from St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Oliver: 步行到南岸的泰特藝術中心也只不過就十分鐘的路程。
What it is, it's become something of an architectural icon, now much-loved, and it's now a listed national building, and people are now beginning to appreciate its architectural qualities, for its strength and dynamism, for what it is.
