Hello, and welcome to Focus on the Arts. I'm your host, Dave Green, and this is your very own local radio programme. Every Friday evening we put the spotlight on different arts and culture facilities, and look at the shows and events that are on offer in the coming week. And today the focus is on The National Arts Centre. Now, if you don't already know it yourself, I'm sure you've all heard of it. It's famous throughout the world as one of the major venues for classical music. But did you know that it is actually much more than just a place to hear concerts? The centre itself is a huge complex that caters for a great range of arts. Under a single roof it houses concert rooms, theatres, cinemas, art galleries and a wonderful public library, as well as service facilities including three restaurants and a bookshop. So at any one time, the choice of entertainment there is simply enormous. So, how did they manage to build such a big arts complex right in the heart of the city? Well, the area was completely destroyed by bombs during the war in 1940. So the opportunity was taken to create a cultural centre that would be, what they called, "the City's gift to the Nation".
大家好,歡迎來到藝術(shù)焦點。我是主持人,Dave Green,這里是你的地方之聲。每周五晚上我們將關(guān)注不同的藝術(shù)文化設(shè)施,并關(guān)注即將到來的一周里所要發(fā)生的重大事件。 今天我們聚焦在國家藝術(shù)中心?,F(xiàn)在,如果你認為自己不知道這里,我可以肯定的告訴你你一定曾經(jīng)聽說過它。它作為古典音樂集結(jié)地之一舉世聞名。 但是你知道這里確切來說不僅僅是一個聽演奏會的地方嗎?這個中心本身是一個提供許多不同有關(guān)藝術(shù)的各種服務(wù)的雄大復(fù)雜的社交場所。在單一的屋檐下,它包含了演播廳,劇院,電影院,美術(shù)館和一個很棒的公共圖書館,還有包括3個飯店和一個書店的服務(wù)性場所。因此在任何時候,人們的娛樂選擇的確是很廣。 因此,過去的人們是怎樣策劃在城市中心建立這樣一個藝術(shù)殿堂的呢?這個地區(qū)在1940年的戰(zhàn)爭中被炸彈完全摧毀了。因此,人們借這個機會創(chuàng)造了可以被稱作“這個城市對國家的饋贈”的文化中心。 ——譯文來自: sherry139
