Y: 她說的"Broaden your horizons"就是擴大視野的意思。Diane說的沒錯,學外語就是一種擴大視野的好方法,因為你學了一種語言以后,就會自然而然地想學習這個GJ的文化。

J: Exactly. And also, Yang Chen, traveling is another way to broaden your horizons and it's fun.

Y: 你說的沒錯。那你這次到意大利去就是很好的機會,可以提高你的意大利語水平。

J: I hope so. (Speaking Italian), what do you think?

Y: 你說得很好。

J: I don't think so, but thanks any way.

Y: Diane說她不是意大利人后裔,可以有那么多外語可以學,她為什么選擇意大利語呢!

J: Maybe because it's so romantic!

Y: Sigh. 意大利語的確是非常浪漫。

J: And Diane speaks French already. But she said that she has always wanted to learn Italian because of an opera that she loves very much!

實錄2: Diane: Well, I speak French already and I've always wanted to learn Italian because there's a particular opera that I love, La Traviata.

Y: 我想很多人和她一樣是為了聽意大利歌劇而學習意大利語。

J: Diane gave us an example of her favorite aria in the opera La Traviata ...

J: What is "aria" in Chinese?

Y: Aria就是詠嘆調的意思。

J: Again here is Diane.

實錄3: Diane: I'll tell you how the aria to my favorite opera goes. It's: "Di provenze il mar il suol" And I've just always loved that aria.

J: "Di provenze il mar il suol" !!

Y: 聽起來很好聽,是什么意思呢?

J: I asked her to translate and she wouldn't. She said we would have to investigate.

實錄4: Diane: You know I'm going to translate it for you because it's very poetic so you'll have to investigate.

Y: Diane說這句話太有詩意

J: Very poetic.

J: If we need to investigate, I guess we have to listen to it first. Here's the aria from La Traviata!

(Enter music)

Y: Jody, 你聽懂了嗎?

J: Understand? No, not word. But it's so beautiful!

Y: 其實你不需要懂得意大利語來欣賞意大利歌劇。

J: Thanks for joining us on American Cafe.

Y: 我們下次再見。

(Fade music to end)
