What language content I have learned	1. …in the window alcove. (A space on wall that built farther back.) 2. Praxiteles was noted for the languid poses… (Moving slowly in a graceful manner.) 3. …as a dignified elderly man. (Serious and deserving respect.) 4. …as an effeminate boy… (Behaving or sounds like a woman, especially man or boy.)
Reflections	This audio tour talks about a sculpture of Dionysus. Although he is a Greek God in Greek mythology, but still many Rome people copy this and other similar sculptures, because they admire Greek art so much. The voice of audio tour is low. He introduces this work in a slow fashion, which I think corresponds to the dignified style of this sculpture. The feeling the artwork expresses isn’t happy or energetic. It will be strange if the audio tour use a resounding voice to introduce a dignified character. Instead of talking about the artist, the tour tells us the background information about Dionysus. I think that’s helpful for the spectators to imagine the rest story about this sculpture, like what we have learned from the last two lectures of Professor Lee.
