The script of this programme 本节目台词  

Vicki: Hi, and welcome to On the Town from BBC Learning English. I'm Vicki.
Chen Li: 我是陈鹂，大家好，今天，我们要说说和英国一个十分有名的美术馆有关的事情。

Vicki: An art gallery – The Tate gallery, one of the most famous museums in Britain.

Chen Li: 泰特美术馆位于伦敦吗？ Vicki?

Vicki: Well, the Tate is not actually one museum, there are several different parts. Here's John, who's a member of the Tate, to explain.

Chen Li: Member – 会员。在这里，它的意思就是说，John 捐款给泰德美术馆，这样，他就拥有一个特权，那就是，在每个展览对公众开放之前，他都可以先睹为快。

The Tate gallery houses Britain's largest collection of art, British art over many centuries at Tate Britain, mainly modern art at the Tate Modern. Then art that's specific to the West country at the Tate in St. Ives, and there's an extension of the main Tate Gallery in Liverpool as well, so it's in four locations in the UK.

Vicki: So there are four different parts of the Tate, only two of them in London. Tate Britain has British art from many centuries. He said it houses the largest collection of art.

Chen Li: Houses – 这里是动词，意思是收藏，他说泰特美术馆的主要藏馆，泰特英国美术馆，收藏了很多几个世纪前古老的美术作品。

Vicki: Then there's the Tate Modern, which has most of the modern art in it. Then there are two parts of the museum which are not in London. One is in St. Ives, in the South-West of England - an area called 'the West Country'. And the other is in Liverpool, a large city in the North of England.
