Урок английского:Шоппинг и лондонский рынок Ковент-гарден

Суббота, 12 Сентября 2015 г. 20:33 + в цитатник

Обратите внимание - первое интервью на чисто-британском, лондонском английском (женщина-директор рынка говорит), а второе - это уже французский художник. Его произношение нам, русско-говорящим гораздо понятнее, так как речь не такая быстрая, как у типичных англичан, да звуковые, смысловые ударения в предложениях привычнее русскому уху. Далее в уроке вы найдёте перевод статьи об инсталляции на русский язык, информацию о рынке Ковент-гарден и сможете прослушать коротенький подкаст на тему шоппинга на Лондонских рынках (в том числе и о Ковент-Гардене) + проделать упражнения письменно для закрепления материала.



ТОПИК:"Французский художник Charles Pétillon запустил в Ковент-гардене (Лондон) 100 000 белых воздушных шаров. Эта работа под названием «Сердцебиение» (Heartbeat) стала первой общественной инсталляцией художника за пределами родной страны. В прошлом году в это же время Ковент-Гарден украшала инсталляция "Подвешенный дом" Алекса Чини (подробнее см. в Посте ТУТ)

Инсталляция «Сердцебиение», выраженное посредством белых шаров, это сердцебиение старинного здания и голос сердца самого Лондона. Шары символизируют соединение прошлого, настоящего и будущего. Инсталляция стала анонсом Лондонского фестиваля дизайна и занимает 54 метра под крышей старинного здания рынка. Работой автора можно любоваться до 27 сентября.

French artist Charles Pétillon has installed a giant cloud of balloons under the roof of the 19th-century Market Building in London's Covent Garden. – in which he uses white balloons to fill spaces – but is his first live project in the UK.  The inflatable sculpture incorporates 100,000 white balloons that form a meandering trail through the south hall of the Grade II-listed building.

A piece of the historic market appeared to have broken free of its stone base in a previous installation by London designer Alex Chinneck. Charles Petillon Heartbeat balloons installation at Covent Garden market London "The balloon invasions I create are metaphors," said Pétillon. "Their goal is to change the way in which we see the things we live alongside each day without really noticing them."

"With Heartbeat I want to represent the Market Building as the beating heart of this area – connecting its past with the present day to allow visitors to re-examine its role at the heart of London's life," he added. Measuring 54 metres in length and 12 metres in width, the installation is held in place below the market's pitched roof and supporting arches, and above its walkways and sunken arcades. A gently pulsating white light, designed to mimic a heartbeat, illuminates the structure from within. 

"Each balloon has its own dimensions and yet is part of a giant but fragile composition that creates a floating cloud above the energy of the market below," Pétillon said. "This fragility is represented by contrasting materials and also the whiteness of the balloons that move and pulse appearing as alive and vibrant as the area itself."   A series of wires are used to suspend the cluster from the building's metalwork, so none of the balloons touch any of the surfaces..

Шары от Charles Pétillon

Сам Charles Pétillon говорит, что эта инсталляция — метафора. Художник поставил перед собой задачу изменить привычное, то, мимо чего люди каждый день проходят, забывая о красоте окружающих их декораций.

"В инсталяции Heartbeat я попытался показать бьющееся сердце этого района – связь между прошлым и настоящим, чтобы посетители могли ощутить свою роль в сердце жизни Лондона" – говорит художник.

АУДИО разговор на тему шоппинга в Ковент-гардене вы можете послушать с 5-ой по 8 минуты этого подкаста

Слушайте и следите глазами по нижеприведённому тексту:

Tess: I like Covent Garden. There's the
market and the shops too. You can get
more unusual things there, and there are
street performers and artists and music. It's
got a great atmosphere.
Ravi: And great restaurants. Do you know
why it’s called Covent Garden?
Tess: I’m glad you asked me that – I looked
it up. In the thirt
eenth century it was a
convent, you know with monks and nuns,
and they had a really big garden and they
produced lots of fruit and vegetables. So
'Covent Garden' comes from 'convent
garden'.
Ravi: Yeah, I looked it up too. I was going
to say that.
Tess: Then later, the place became a fruit
and vegetable market until 1974 when it
moved. They kept the original buildings and
opened a new market selling all sorts of
interesting things. Next time you're in the
old market, look up.
Ravi: Look up?
--------
Tess: Look up – at the top of the lights. On
top of each light there's a pineapple.
Ravi: Pineapple the fruit?
Tess: Yes. It shows how important fruit and
vegetables were to Covent Garden.
Ravi: I'll look next time I'm there. Talking
about markets, youknow, I think my
favourite is Portobello Road.
Tess: Yeah, on Saturdays. It's great.
Ravi: Some really good second-hand
shops.
Tess: I didn't know you liked second-hand,
Ravi. I can't imagine you wearing
somebody's old clothes.
Ravi: Designer second-hand, Tess, good
quality. Not just 'old clothes'.
Tess: And don't forget Camden Market.
Lots of things from India, the Middle East,
jewellery, handicrafts, antiques.
Ravi: And it's such a nice place, with the
canal. It's open every day I think.
Tess: Yes, it is.
Ravi: That's perfect. Covent Garden on
Friday, Portobello market on Saturday,
Camden Market on Sunday, and Oxford
Street for the rest of the week. A perfect
holiday!
Jo and Adam
Adam: Hello again, Jo.
Jo: Hi, everybody.
Adam: That was interesting about Covent
Garden, wasn't it?
Jo: Yes, it was. I love going to Covent
Garden, but I didn't know about the history –
or the pineapples.
Adam: I’m usually too busy when I visit
London to go to any special areas to shop.
It’s a shame, because London has more
interesting shops than my city.
Jo: There aren’t any shops at all in the
village where I live, so I do most of my
shopping on the internet these days.
