  JULIA: I just finished my first study of history. It is so fascinating.

  SERGIO: What did you learn?

  JULIA: Did you know that The New York Times was founded in 1851? Also, I found out that in 1889, The Eiffel Tower was built in Paris. It was built as a temporary structure to celebrate the centennial of the French Revolution.

  SERGIO: Now it's famous.

  JULIA: By 1930, The Chrysler Building was built in New York City.

  SERGIO: I read about that. After that they built the Empire State Building which was even taller.

  JULIA: And then by 1996, the Petronas Towers were constructed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and was claimed to be the tallest

  building in the world at the time.

  SERGIO: China is catching up, you know. The Jin Mao Building in Shanghai is the tallest in China.

  Julia: New buildings are different than before. St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, was started in 1506 and finished in 1626.

  Sergio: That's 120 years to finish.

  Julia: And it is still there today as a sign of the strength of the Catholic faith.

  Sergio: Nothing good comes easy.

不谈历史第一幕

  朱莉娅:我刚完成对历史学的第一次研究,这太令人着迷了。

  塞吉奥:你学到了什么?

  朱莉娅:你知道《纽约时报》是1851年开始发行的吗?还有,我发现巴黎的埃菲尔铁塔是1889年建造的,当时是为了纪念法国大革命一百周年而临时搭建的。

  塞吉奥:现在它太出名了。

  朱莉娅:克莱斯勒大厦是1930年在纽约市建造的。

  塞吉奥:我读到过这方面的东西。此后他们建造了更高的帝国大厦。

  朱莉娅:到了1996年,在马来西亚的吉隆坡建造了帕特隆纳斯塔,当时它号称是世界上最高的建筑。

  塞吉奥:你知道,中国也在赶上。上海的金贸大厦是中国最高的建筑。

  朱莉娅:新建筑与过去大不相同。罗马的圣彼得大教堂1506年开始建造,到1626年才建好。

  塞吉奥:花了120年才完工。

  朱莉娅:但它今天还立在那儿,成了天主教坚定信仰的象征。

  塞吉奥:好东西来之不易。
