Whether it’s as a musician, performer, actor, or philanthropist, Legend’s work has touched the lives of countless people. Born John Roger Stephens in Springfield, Ohio, in 1978, John Legend has a love of piano and singing thanks to his musical family’s influence. From a young age, the artist-to-be played instruments and sang in the local church. While attending the University of Pennsylvania, he led a jazz and pop group with whom he recorded a number of songs. After graduating with honors, Legend began working as a management consultant while also writing, performing, and producing his own music. Eventually, Legend signed to a record label, where a friend gave him the stage name John Legend because of his old-fashioned music. In 2004, Legend released his first album, Get Lifted, which has sold more than four million copies worldwide. The album went on to receive three Grammy Awards. Legend has since released five additional studio albums as well as several live albums. His 2013 hit single “All of Me” reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. 到目前為止,廣受歡迎的美國節奏藍調靈魂樂歌手約翰.傳奇的事業一直都很有趣且充滿變化。無論是作為音樂人、表演者、演員還是慈善家,約翰.傳奇所做的事都感動了無數人的生命。 約翰.傳奇一九七八年出生於俄亥俄州春田市,本名約翰.羅傑.史蒂芬斯,由於音樂世家的影響而熱愛鋼琴和唱歌。這位未來的藝人從小就在當地的教會彈奏樂器和唱歌。就讀賓州大學時,他帶領一支爵士暨流行樂隊,並與他們錄製了一些歌曲。以優異成績畢業後,約翰.傳奇便開始擔任管理顧問,還一邊寫歌、表演及製作自己的音樂。最後,傳奇和一間唱片公司簽約,在那裡有個朋友因為他老派的音樂替他取了約翰.傳奇這個藝名。 二○○四年,傳奇發行了個人首張專輯《神采飛揚》,全球銷量超過四百萬張。這張專輯接著獲得三座葛萊美獎。傳奇在那之後又陸續發行了五張錄音室專輯以及好幾張現場演唱專輯。他二○一三年的熱門單曲〈我的所有〉登上了《告示牌》百大單曲榜冠軍。 Legend currently appears on the US television show The Voice, where he serves as a singing coach to hopeful competitors. He’s also performed as an actor, most notably in 2016’s La La Land as Keith, the lead singer of a jazz band. Besides his 10 Grammys, Legend has won dozens of other awards. In fact, he was the first African-American man to win an EGOT. EGOT is an acronym for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony―the top prizes in the worlds of television, music, film, and theater, respectively. In addition, Legend supports several charities that work to fight poverty, including an organization that provides mosquito nets, drinking water, and farming resources to people in rural Africa. Another of his efforts, the Show Me Campaign, offers free meals to poor school children and supports teachers across the United States. Additionally, together with his wife, American model Chrissy Teigen, the singer has given more than US$200,000 to victims of sexual violence. Through his work, John Legend has become a true legend of screen, song, and stage and has used the spotlight to support communities of all types around the world. 傳奇目前出現在美國電視節目《美國好聲音》中,在那裡他擔任希望成名的參賽者的歌唱導師。他也擔任演員演出過,最受矚目的是在二○一六年《樂來越愛你》中飾演爵士樂團的主唱奇斯。除了十座葛萊美獎之外,約翰.傳奇還贏得好幾十座其他獎項。事實上,他是第一位獲得演藝圈大滿貫(EGOT)的非裔美國人。EGOT是艾美獎(Emmy)、葛萊美獎(Grammy)、奧斯卡獎(Oscar)和東尼獎(Tony)的首字母縮寫——分別是電視界、音樂界、電影界和戲劇界的最高獎項。 此外,傳奇還資助幾個致力於消除貧窮的慈善機構,包括提供非洲偏鄉地區的人民蚊帳、飲用水和農業資源的機構。他的另一項組織行動Show Me Campaign提供貧困學童免費餐點,並資助美國各地的教師。再者,這位歌手和他的太太(美國名模克莉絲汀.泰根)已提供性暴力受害者超過二十萬美元的捐款。約翰.傳奇透過他的工作成果已成為螢幕、歌曲和舞台真正的傳奇人物,並且利用大眾的關注來幫助世界各地的各種社群團體。 Live Interactive English Live互動英語 NO. 228 April 2020年4月號 4 Live關鍵時事新聞 9 焦點話題 10 大師名作選 Tarzan of the Apes 《人猿泰山》 泰山(Tarzan)的故事大家應該不陌生,但你知道它已有百年歷史了嗎?其原著作者從一九一二年開始在雜誌上連載這位叢林英雄的冒險故事,集結成書後廣受歡迎而接連出版了十多部續集並改編成各種影視作品,來看看原著故事是什麼! 14 焦點人物 Becoming John Legend 約翰.傳奇果然名不虛傳 節奏藍調靈魂樂歌手約翰.傳奇(John Legend)堪稱會玩又會唸書的人生勝利組,他不僅是歌唱舞台和銀幕上的傳奇人物,也致力於幫助世界各地的慈善團體,一起來看看這位「傳奇」人物如何觸動人心! 18 唱歌學英語 Studying English with Songs: Painkiller Ruel :〈止痛藥〉 19 主題式會話 Seeing a Doctor 看醫生 22 旅遊好去處 Da Nang, Vietnam: The Best of Both Worlds 越南峴港:新舊融合魅力無法擋 越南峴港附近有許多著名的景點,像是新落成的黃金橋、古色古香的會安古鎮,以及媲美馬爾地夫的美溪海灘,加上物價低廉,近來成了新興的熱門旅遊城市。 26 生活與科技 New Search, New Rules 語音搜尋新商機 我們的智慧型手機中都內建語音助理功能,透過語音搜尋可以讓生活更方便,同時也引爆聲控革命,讓企業商家重新思考與顧客連結的策略。 31 翻譯練習 Translation Practice 34 環保永續 Water Hyacinth: Weed or Wonder? 布袋蓮:有害雜草變身環保資源 布袋蓮被科學家稱為「世界上最嚴重的水生雜草」,擁有驚人繁殖力,常因堵塞河道、消耗水中氧氣,讓其他水生動植物死亡而被視為有害植物,但現在這種植物可作為手工藝品素材甚或是生質燃料,守護居民健康,成為新的生計來源。 38 日常好用句 Get/Have one's ducks in a row. 把事情安排妥當;做事井井有條。 39 閱讀策略 The Wonders of Machu Picchu 印加帝國的失落之城:馬丘比丘 一九一一年,美國探險家海勒姆.賓厄姆三世發現一處古秘魯遺跡,之後被選為世界新七大奇景之一,同時也被聯合國教科文組織列為世界遺產保護區。這個屹立於安地斯山脈上、充滿神祕色彩的遺址,就是馬丘比丘。 46 生活情境對話 Moving to a New Place 搬新家 ? 英語聽力測驗 50 動物趣聞 Little People: The Prairie Dogs of North America 萌翻天的小夥伴——北美草原犬鼠 北美草原犬鼠因為特殊且明顯的吠叫聲而得名,牠們會透過親吻來辨識彼此。這些高度社會化的哺乳類動物的生活其實與人類非常相似喔! 54 克漏字 The Slow Boat to a Cleaner World 降低船速航向乾淨的世界 全世界有九成的貨物是靠海運運送到世界各地,為降低全球航運業對環境的汙染及影響,國際海事組織(IMO)建議降低船速,設下二○五○年溫室氣體總排放量減半為目標,以保護我們的藍色星球。 56 歷史趣聞 A Dirty Little War 鳥糞戰爭 雖然被無禮的鳥大了一份便便在身上會破壞你的好心情,但稱作「鳥糞石」的鳥便便在十九世紀可是重要的農業資源喔!由於氮含量及營養成分高,常拿來作肥料,好幾個國家甚至為它開戰呢! 60 科技新知 Meat Made Out of Thin Air 憑「空」生肉新技術,減碳愛地球 絕大多數人造肉是以植物蛋白製成的素肉,不過目前一家新創公司Air Protein研發出一種以空氣和水打造蛋白質作為原料的技術,生產出營養美味的「空氣肉」,盼能為氣候變遷盡一份力。 62 電影快報 ?Trolls World Tour 《魔髮精靈唱遊世界》 ?Black Widow 《黑寡婦》 ?No Time to Die 《007生死交戰》 64 Movie Trailer English 看預告片學英文 65 General English Proficiency Test 全民英檢中級模擬聽力試題 71 GEPT Answer Key 全民英檢中級模擬聽力試題解答 73 Chinese Translation 中文翻譯

There’s still a space race. Our spa[ce] … our Rachel Crane reports, this time, it’s the billionaires who are competing against each other to take us far, far away. RACHEL CRANE, CNN CORRESPONDENT Bezos, Branson [and] Musk—the three billionaires racing towards space. With NASA focusing more on its Moon and Mars missions, the opportunities for the [three billionaires] have never been better. So, what exactly are their ambitions? Simply, it seems to be: get humans to space for tourism, exploration and, perhaps, even colonization. Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic seems to be the most tourism-focused. RICHARD BRANSON, FOUNDER, VIRGIN GALACTIC I got frustrated [with] the fact that I couldn’t go up on a NASA spaceship or Russian spaceship, so [I] decided to build a spaceline. RACHEL CRANE, CNN CORRESPONDENT The company had a successful test in February, sending its crewed SpaceShipTwo 88 kilometers above Earth—the company’s second time to space. Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin also has tourism goals, but he’s recently announced he’s setting his sights on the Moon. JEFF BEZOS, FOUNDER, BLUE ORIGIN It’s time to go back to the Moon—this time to stay. The price of admission to do interesting things in space right now is just too high because there’s no infrastructure. RACHEL CRANE, CNN CORRESPONDENT The company has introduced a new lunar lander concept and already began testing an engine the lander would use. However, it’s Elon Musk’s SpaceX that’s been getting the most liftoff action. It’s been handling cargo missions to the International Space Station since 2012, and its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets have proven they have the muscle for space travel. ELON MUSK, FOUNDER, SPACEX I think it’s gonna give the government options. So, it’s good to have options for advancement of human spaceflight, and yeah, the competition’s a good thing. RACHEL CRANE, CNN CORRESPONDENT But it’s SpaceX’s Crew Dragon that has gained recent attention. It could be the first American spacecraft to carry NASA astronauts to space since 2011. While it had a successful mission in March, April brought major setbacks when the company confirmed the craft was destroyed during another test. Still, where it stands, all three companies have yet to send people into orbit, but it’s looking more promising every day. RICHARD BRANSON, FOUNDER, VIRGIN GALACTIC I think the exciting thing for the world now is that you have Jeff, you have Elon [and] you have ourselves creating different approaches to take people into space [and] to colonize places like the Moon in future years. So, an incredible new era of space exploration has arrived. RACHEL CRANE, CNN CORRESPONDENT Rachel Crane, CNN, New York. CNN主播 喬治.豪威爾 本週要繼續本台這個月的特別報導「登月五十年」,因為首度登陸月球的週年紀念即將到來──五十年了。現在還是有一場太空競賽。我們的太空……本台記者芮秋.奎恩報導指出,這次是億萬富翁們之間的競爭,要帶我們到很遠、很遠的地方。 CNN特派員 芮秋.奎恩 貝佐斯、布蘭森和馬斯克──這三位億萬富翁爭相航向太空。由於美國太空總署重點較多放在月球和火星任務上,這三位億萬富翁的機會再好不過了。 那麼,他們的野心究竟是什麼呢?簡單來說,似乎是把人類送上太空觀光、探索,或許甚至是殖民。理查.布蘭森的維珍銀河公司似乎是最以旅遊為重心的。 維珍銀河創辦人 理查.布蘭森 我因為不能搭美國太空總署的太空船或是俄國的太空船上太空而感到很挫折,所以我決定創立一家航太公司。 CNN特派員 芮秋.奎恩 該公司在二月時進行了一次成功的試飛,把載有組員的太空船二號送到地球上方八十八公里處,這是該公司第二次進入太空。 傑夫.貝佐斯的藍色起源公司也有觀光的目標,不過他日前宣布他要把目光放在月球上。 藍色起源創辦人 傑夫.貝佐斯 該是回到月球的時候了──這一次要留下來。現在要在太空中執行有趣事情的進場代價實在是太高了,因為那裡沒有基礎建設。 CNN特派員 芮秋.奎恩 該公司推出了一具新的概念登月車,而且已經開始測試該輛登陸車所使用的引擎。 不過,升空活動最多的是伊隆.馬斯克的SpaceX。從二○一二年開始,該公司就在執行國際太空站的載貨補給任務了,而且其獵鷹九號和獵鷹重型運載火箭已經證明他們擁有太空旅行的實力。 SpaceX創辦人 伊隆.馬斯克 我想這會給政府一些選擇。人類太空飛行的進展能夠有不同的選擇是件好事,而且對啊,競爭是件好事。 CNN特派員 芮秋.奎恩 不過,近來備受關注的是SpaceX的載人龍飛船。它可能會是二○一一年以來第一艘載送美國太空總署太空人到太空的美國太空船。雖然三月時它執行了一場成功的任務,但四月卻遭遇重大挫敗,該公司證實太空船在另一次測試中被摧毀了。然而,以目前的情況看來,這三家公司都尚未送人進入軌道,不過情勢日益樂觀。 維珍銀河創辦人 理查.布蘭森 我想目前令世人興奮的事情就是,大家有傑夫、有伊隆,還有我們在開發不同的方式送人上太空,以及未來在像是月球的地方殖民。所以說,令人讚嘆的太空探索新時代已然來臨。 CNN特派員 芮秋.奎恩 本台記者芮秋.奎恩,在紐約的報導。 人物 Making a Dictator 獨裁者的養成史──你所不知道的金正恩 How Kim Jong Un’s Childhood Shaped Him 北韓領導人金正恩喜怒無常、難以捉摸,多次罔顧國際規範,並以極端手段在國內進行政治肅清。《華盛頓郵報》記者採訪金氏家族親戚和前助理,由童年事件分析金正恩性格的養成。 科技 Cosmic Ambition 三大億萬富翁的21世紀太空爭霸戰 Inside the Billionaires’ Battle for Space Supremacy Amazon創辦人貝佐斯、特斯拉創辦人馬斯克與維珍集團創辦人布蘭森,這三人的本業在不同的領域各據一方,但也都同時把目光望向太空旅行,開啟新世代太空競賽。 政治 A First for Caring 第一夫人──溫柔而堅定的力量 The Important Role of the First Ladies of the United States 美國第一夫人除了是總統的非正式顧問和擁護者,有時在政策和倡議的推動上也扮演著舉足輕重的角色。本文回顧美國近代第一夫人的特殊成就。 商業 Sweet Success 甜蜜好時光──好時巧克力王國 How Hershey’s Dominated the Chocolate World 美國食品大廠好時公司創立超過125年,旗下有好時巧克力片、好時之吻、銳滋花生醬巧克力杯等經典產品,更不斷推陳出新,滿足不同世代顧客的味蕾。 藝文 Beats, Breaks and Bass 鐵克諾電音雙人組 演繹DJ 的藝術 Techno Duo Pan-Pot Demonstrates the Art of DJing 德國柏林是鐵克諾電音的大本營,隱身在城市角落的表演空間孕育出許多知名音樂人。來自柏林的雙人組Pan-Pot展示DJ基本功,邀請各位體驗鐵克諾音樂的魅力! 社會 Quiet Time 大笨鐘維修中 低調度過160歲生日 Big Ben Remains Silent on 160th Birthday as Restoration Work Continues 倫敦地標大笨鐘自2017年中起暫停鐘響,展開為期四年的修復工程,日前安靜地度過160歲生日。CNN特派員帶來大笨鐘最新的修復進度。 保育 Going Ape for Conservation 人類近親瀕臨滅絕 搶救黑猩猩大作戰 Looking at Chimpanzee Rehabilitation and Care at a Nonprofit Organization in Liberia 位於賴比瑞亞的一個保育機構致力於黑猩猩救援,保護這種與人類極為相似的靈長類動物不受滅絕威脅。 政治 Red, White and New 空軍一號換新裝 設計搶先看 President Trump Reveals Plans for a Revamped Air Force One 從甘迺迪總統時代沿用至今的美國總統專機塗裝即將有新面貌。川普總統日前公布空軍一號新設計,採美國國旗紅、白、藍配色,引發兩極評價。 社會 Ghost Town Comeback 美劇帶動觀光熱 核災鬼城車諾比現人潮 Chernobyl Experiences Tourism Boost after Hit TV Series 1986年爆發核災而遭棄城的車諾比,經過30多年的沉潛,如今因為熱門美劇再度成為世人焦點,甚至出現觀光潮。 旅遊 Turkish Delights 漫遊伊斯坦堡 品味道地土耳其烤肉 Sampling Büryani-Style Kebabs in Istanbul 香氣十足的烤肉是土耳其的經典料理。土耳其烤肉隨地區不同而各有風味,成為這個文化大熔爐在餐桌上的最佳體現。 CNN 全球瞭望 Trump Enters North Korea 川普成為首位踏入北韓的在任美國總統 Japan’s Asteroid Mission 日本探測器成功登陸小行星 England Wins Its First Cricket World Cup 板球世界盃 英格蘭奪隊史首冠 CNN主播教你唸 美國第一夫人 聽懂CNN 報導 Amazon Turns 25 電商龍頭Amazon 二十五年創新之路

Art Wars
Author: Rachel N. Klein
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812251946
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
A study of three controversies that illuminate the changing cultural role of art exhibition in the nineteenth century From the antebellum era through the Gilded Age, New York City's leading art institutions were lightning rods for conflict. In the decades before the Civil War, art promoters believed that aesthetic taste could foster national unity and assuage urban conflicts; by the 1880s such hopes had faded, and the taste for art assumed more personal connotations associated with consumption and domestic decoration. Art Wars chronicles three protracted public battles that marked this transformation. The first battle began in 1849 and resulted in the downfall of the American Art-Union, the most popular and influential art institution in North America at mid-century. The second erupted in 1880 over the Metropolitan Museum's massive collection of Cypriot antiquities, which had been plundered and sold to its trustees by the man who became the museum's first paid director. The third escalated in the mid-1880s and forced the Metropolitan Museum to open its doors on Sunday—the only day when working people were able to attend. In chronicling these disputes, Rachel N. Klein considers cultural fissures that ran much deeper than the specific complaints that landed protagonists in court. New York's major nineteenth-century art institutions came under intense scrutiny not only because Americans invested them with moral and civic consequences but also because they were part and parcel of explosive processes associated with the rise of industrial capitalism. Elite New Yorkers spearheaded the creation of the Art-Union and the Metropolitan, but those institutions became enmeshed in popular struggles related to slavery, immigration, race, industrial production, and the rights of working people. Art Wars examines popular engagement with New York's art institutions and illuminates the changing cultural role of art exhibition over the course of the nineteenth century.
