Текст аудирования:
Alice: Catherine, why is the painting called “Mona Lisa”?
Catherine: Mona in Italian is a polite form of address something like Ma’am, Madam, or my lady in English. So the name Mona Lisa means My Lady Lisa or Madame Lisa.
Alice: Whose portrait is it?
Catherine: No one knows for sure. There is a theory that this is Lisa Gherardini, the wife of wealthy Florentine businessman Francesco del Giocondo. The portrait is also called La Giaconda sometimes. Some have argued that the Mona Lisa is actually a self portrait of da Vinci himself, in a woman’s figure. Historians are still debating over the true story behind the Mona Lisa.
Alice: Could you explain why the Giaconda’s smile is so much talked about?
Catherine: Look, the smile is not only in the lips, it’s in the eyes as well. But when you look at the portrait one minute you see the smile, the next — you don’t. She appears radiant one moment and serious the next. The eyes on the portrait seem to follow the viewer.
Alice: Oh, my! I move and her eyes follow me…
