1
The British Museum goes to great lengths to paint Lord Elgin as a conservationist,
2
a protector of antiquity and history.
3
Rubbish talk.
4
See, they keep talking rubbish.
5
What's the biggest challenge to the movement right now?
6
Well, I would say the British Museum and the British government, where they're stubborn.
7
The British Museum is one of a handful of universal museums.
8
It's a museum of all humanity.
9
These museums are great creations of the human spirit.
10
The principle that artefacts should return to the place where they originated is one
11
which would be utterly destructive of some of the great educational and artistic institutions of the world.
12
It would impoverish our artistic life if all Greek sculpture ended up in Greece.
13
And yet, in 2009, the Greeks opened the Acropolis Museum,
14
specifically to house the Barthenon marbles.
15
But that hasn't swayed the British Museum or government.
16
It is like the British Museum saying that,
17
look, you, museums of the world,
18
you're Class B, and I am Class A.
19
And it is me that people should visit to compare the different civilisations.
20
And the Elgin marbles, do you think they should be returned back to Greece?
21
I don't support that.
22
If you give back the Elgin marbles to Greece,
23
then you leave a huge gap in that narrative.
24
I think sending them back is a dangerous road to go down,
25
but also one that is prohibited in law.
26
We're not about to change the law to facilitate that.
27
Over the years, the faces have changed,
28
and there has been the vague suggestion of a loan to Greece.
29
But the fundamental position of the British government in the British Museum is that by British law,
30
these are British property.
31
But why do these sculptures matter so much to the UK?
32
At that point, Britain was the wealthiest nation on Earth.
33
They were the most powerful nation on Earth.
34
But what they didn't have was this history that lots of their neighbours had,
35
the history that France had,
36
that Italy had, Greece had.
37
When the Parthenon was built,
38
it was still the Stone Age in Britain.
39
All these places have this ancient history,
40
ancient literary and artistic legacy.
41
Britain didn't have any of that, and they wanted it.
42
And I think they went out and they got it,
43
but what Britain did was go out
44
and rip these things off of Greek buildings that had nothing to do with Britain or Britain's history,
45
and bring them to England and say,
46
here we are, now we've got a history,
47
and that's what these objects are.
48
They are a trophy that they hang in the British Museum.
49
Thank you.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
