Welcome to Spotlight Advanced.

I'm Andrew Devis.

And I'm Megan Nolet.
4
Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting.
5
It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live.
6
St. Patrick's Day is one of the biggest celebrations of the year in Boston, Massachusetts.
7
The day honors St. Patrick.
8
He helped bring
9
Christianity to Ireland.
10
Many people who are not
11
Irish still have parties.
12
They play loud music and drink alcohol.
13
For a few hours, they forget the worries of their everyday lives.
14
People are not paying attention to much else happening around them.
15
They assume everything is fine and can wait until morning.
16
But one night following
17
St Patrick's Day, everything was not fine.
18
People did not know that some things would be gone in the morning.
19
They had no idea that 13 famous works of art worth hundreds of millions of dollars would be missing.
20
Today's Spotlight looks at a robbery.
21
A robbery is when someone takes something that does not belong to them.
22
This robbery took place on March 18, 1990, in Boston, Massachusetts.
23
St. Patrick's Day has just ended.
24
It was 12 .30 in the morning.
25
A few people leaving a party walked home near the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in downtown Boston.
26
They passed a car that was sitting 100 feet from the side door to the museum.
27
Two men wearing police uniforms sat in the car.
28
The people kept walking without saying anything to the men.
29
The two men in police clothing did not get out of their car for another 50 minutes.
30
At 1 .20 in the morning, the two men in police clothing walked to the museum's side door.
31
They flipped a switch to speak to the security guards sitting inside the museum.
32
Two security guards were on duty that night.
33
The two men told the guards that someone had reported a problem at the museum.
34
They needed to come in to investigate.
35
One of the guards, Richard Abath, saw on his security television screen that the men outside were wearing police uniforms.
36
Abath had not heard there was a problem at the museum, but he let the men in.
37
The policemen entered a waiting area.
38
Abeth still had to let them into the main museum.
39
The men said Abeth looked like a criminal for whom they had been looking.
40
They demanded Abeth let them in.
41
When Abeth did, the men caught Abeth and the other security guard and handcuffed them.
42
Handcuffs are metal restraint devices designed to hold a person's wrists together.
43
One of the men wearing police clothing said, This is a robbery.
44
The two robbers, or thieves, were just acting like policemen.
45
They put the security guards in the museum's basement, the floor below ground level.
46
They tied fabric around the guards' heads and eyes.
47
The thieves handcuffed the guards to a pipe.
48
The thieves told the guards that if they did not tell the police about them later, they would send them money in a year.
49
It was now 1 .35 in the morning.
50
The Boston Police Department did not know that two thieves were inside the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
51
The thieves walked to the Dutch Room on the second floor.
52
This room held many great works of art by Dutch artists.
53
The thieves destroyed the alarm that sounded when someone got too close to a painting.
54
The thieves took two paintings off the wall.
55
They cut the glass around the paintings.
56
The paintings were Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee and A Lady and Gentleman in Black,
57
both by the painter Rembrandt.
58
Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee is Rembrandt's only seascape painting.
59
The thieves used knives to cut the paintings out of their frames.
60
They took other famous works of art from the Dutch Room, including the Concert by Vermeer.
61
The concert is one of only 34 paintings Vermeer completed.
62
He is considered a master.
63
The concert is worth $250 million.
64
It is the world's most valuable stolen object.
65
The thieves moved to a room called the Short Gallery.
66
They stole six things, including five pieces by the French artist Degas.
67
The final painting stolen was Chez Tortoni by the French artist Monet.
68
It hung in the blue room.
69
The thieves then visited the guards in the basement and asked if they were okay.
70
The thieves left the outer wooden frame for Chey Tortonie at the security director's workstation.
71
They carried the stolen artwork through the museum's side door to their car.
72
The thieves left at 2 .45 in the morning.
73
They stole 13 works of art valued at over 500 million dollars.
74
The thieves spent 81 minutes in the museum.
75
It is considered the biggest museum robbery in history.
76
A few hours later, other museum security guards arrived for their shift.
77
They could not find anyone to let them in.
78
They called the security director, who came to the museum with his keys.
79
When they went inside and did not find
80
Abbott and the other guard, the director called the police.
81
Boston Police Department officers came and searched inside the building.
82
They found Abbott and his co -worker blindfolded and handcuffed in the basement.
83
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI, took control of the case.
84
They questioned Abath and his co -workers many times.
85
The FBI talked to the people who walked by the two thieves sitting in their car before the robbery.
86
The FBI made images of the thieves' faces based on what the witnesses remembered.
87
Investigators searched the museum for fingerprints and other evidence that could identify the thieves.
88
They found none.
89
They questioned members of local gangs connected to a criminal organization called the Boston Mafia.
90
But no one told the FBI anything about the Gardner Museum robbery.
91
For many years, the FBI suspected a bath had been involved in the robbery.
92
Several strange things happened involving a bath.
93
The Gardner Museum's rules for workers clearly stated that security guards were not to let anyone in without official permission, including police.
94
Abath said he did not know about that rule.
95
That was why he let the two thieves in who were wearing police clothing.
96
On the night of the robbery, before the thieves arrived, Abath walked through the museum, making sure everything was okay.
97
This was part of his job.
98
Twice, Abath walked through a room room called the Blue Room.
99
The museum used motion sensors in each room.
100
The FBI later reviewed the records for the motion sensors
101
that showed no one entered the Blue Room during the 81 minutes of the robbery.
102
The final painting that was stolen was named Chey Tortonie from the Blue Room.
103
If the thieves did not enter the Blue Room, who took Chey Torton?
104
Only one person had been in the Blue Room that night.
105
Abbath.
106
Also, while walking through the museum, Abbath opened and closed the side door to the museum.
107
Abbath said he had done this to make sure the door was working correctly.
108
But investigators considered two other possibilities.
109
One was that Abath opened the side door to signal to the thieves sitting in their car
110
that it was time to enter the museum.
111
The other was that Abath opened the door to take the painting Shaito Tony out to the two thieves in their car.
112
Finally, the FBI questioned how nicely the two thieves had treated Abath and his fellow guard.
113
It seemed strange to the FBI that the thieves were so concerned with the guards' well -being, unless they were working with Abbott.
114
Abath denied any involvement in the robbery.
115
For years he remained a suspect and was questioned again many times,
116
but Abath promised he was not working with the thieves and did not know them.
117
Abath said, The investigators wanted to know if I had taken the painting, Shea Tortoni, and hid it somewhere.
118
I told them.
119
As I have said a hundred times before and since, I had nothing to do with the robbers or the robbery.
120
Abbott spent the rest of his life in Vermont with his wife.
121
They lived in a small home.
122
Abbott worked as a teacher's assistant.
123
If he had been involved in the robbery, Abbott's life didn't show any signs of wealth from selling the stolen artwork.
124
It has been more than 35 years since the robbery at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, but the FBI still has not arrested anyone.
125
None of the 13 stolen works of art have been found or returned.
126
Many questions remain unanswered.
127
Who were the thieves?
128
Why did they take the paintings?
129
Where is the artwork now?
130
Why did the thieves leave the frame for Shait or Tony on the security director's workstation?
131
Why did they steal some pieces but not take other valuable paintings?
132
The Gardner Museum has offered a $10 million prize for information leading to the recovery of the stolen artwork.
133
Until then, the museum still believes in the power of art to change people's lives and better the world.
134
The Gardner Museum proudly displays its remaining artwork, alongside empty frames where the stolen paintings were once hung.
135
The empty frames will not be taken down until the paintings are returned.
136
Who are some of your favourite painters?
137
Why do you think the robbers who stole the paintings from the Gardner Museum have never been caught?
138
Do you think anyone will ever find the missing paintings?

القواعد في هذا الفيديو
أكثر التراكيب التي يستخدمها المتحدث، مع العبارات نفسها من الفيديو:
| التركيب | في الفيديو |
|---|---|
| المبني للمجهول be + اسم المفعول — التركيز على ما يحدث لا على من يفعله | is considered · had been involved · was stolen |
| المضارع التام have/has + اسم المفعول — حدث ماضٍ ما زال له أثر الآن | has just ended · have said · has been |
| جمل الوصل who / which + جملة — معلومة إضافية عن شخص أو شيء | people who are · people who walked |
نطق يحتاج إلى انتباه
يستخدم المتحدث 3 من الصيغ المختصرة، مثل I'm, didn't. انطقها بصيغتها القصيرة كما تسمعها.
- أصوات “th”: thief /ˈθiːf/, clothing /ˈkloʊðɪŋ/, bath /bɑːθ/
- أصوات “sh” و“zh”: celebration /ˌsɛl.ɪˈbɹeɪ.ʃən/, artificial /ˌɑː.tɪˈfɪʃ.əl/, workstation /ˈwɝkˌsteɪʃən/
- الكلمات الطويلة — انتبه لموضع النبر: investigator /ɪnˈvɛs.tɪˌɡeɪ̯.təː/, investigate /ɪnˈvɛs.tə.ɡeɪt/, celebration /ˌsɛl.ɪˈbɹeɪ.ʃən/, artificial /ˌɑː.tɪˈfɪʃ.əl/
أصوات يجدها متحدثو العربية صعبة:
- /p/ — ليس /b/: انطقه مع نفخة هواء: painter /ˈpeɪntɚ/, policeman /pəˈliːsmən/, producer /pɹəˈdjuːsə/, pipe /ˈpaɪp/, flip /flɪp/
- /v/ — ليس /f/: مع اهتزاز الأوتار الصوتية: investigator /ɪnˈvɛs.tɪˌɡeɪ̯.təː/, arrive /əˈɹaɪv/, everyday /ˈɛvɹiˌdeɪ/, investigate /ɪnˈvɛs.tə.ɡeɪt/, involvement /ɪnˈvɑlv.mənt/
- تتابع الصوامت — لا تضف حركة بينها: steal /stiːl/, artwork /ˈɑɹtˌwɝk/, clothing /ˈkloʊðɪŋ/, basement /ˈbeɪsmənt/, uniform /ˈjunɪˌfɔɹm/
كيف تتدرب بهذا الفيديو
- استمع إلى الفيديو كاملًا مرة واحدة دون أن تتكلم، ودوّن الكلمات التي لا تعرفها.
- ردّد جملة جملة بالسرعة العادية، وكرّر كل جملة حتى يتطابق إيقاعك مع المتحدث.
- سجّل صوتك وقارنه بالأصل، مع الانتباه إلى كلمات مثل thief, robbery, steal.
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
