背景介绍
悉尼歌剧院是悉尼市的标志性建筑，也是世界著名的表演艺术中心。歌剧院于1973年落成，建筑风格独具特色，2007年被联合国教科文组织评为世界文化遗产。歌剧院的外形犹如即将乘风出海的白色风帆，与周围海景融为一体。悉尼歌剧院从1955年起向全世界公开征求设计作品，有32个国家233个作品参选，最后丹麦建筑师约恩·乌松的设计中选。从1959年3月开始建造， 1973年10月竣工。悉尼歌剧院可以举办交响乐、室内乐、歌剧、舞蹈、合唱、流行乐、爵士乐等多种演出。
情景對话
Dennis：It’s quite amazing when you think about it; the Sydney Opera House is celebrating its 46th birthday this year.
George：Yes， that’s true. It is quite an achievement， considering the way it started out.
Dennis：What do you mean？Are you talking about the beginning of the project？
George：Yes， that’s what I was referring to. But all that has been washed out of the history books now， and the politics， the corruption and the massive cost overruns are all but forgotten.
Dennis：But you’ve got to admire the engineering feat that has gone into the construction. It was a marvel（奇迹） of innovation and ingenuity.
