Daniel: May, is this the Hall of Ancient China?
 
May: Yes. Look at these historical relics here, amazing!
 
Daniel: Why are they all in glass boxes?
 
May: For protection. Some relics will turn to dust if exposed to air.
 
Daniel: So there isn't air in the glass boxes?
 
May: No, there isn't. They are all vacuumed.
 
Daniel: I wonder how old these things are, thousands of years?
 
May: Yeah, they all come from a very ancient time.
 
Daniel: Hey, look at the three-leg cup. I've seen it on TV.
 
May: The bronze cup was made 4,000 years ago. It's priceless!
 
Daniel: Yeah, it has no value at all. Who will use this cup today?
 
May: Danny, priceless means so valuable that you can't put a price on it.
 
Daniel: Oh, it does?

丹尼尔:阿美,这是古代中国馆吗?
 
阿美:是啊。看这些历史遗址,真令人惊叹!
 
丹尼尔:为什么它们都被装在玻璃瓶里呢?
 
阿美:为了保护它们啊。一些文物放在空气中就会变成粉末。
 
丹尼尔:那么玻璃瓶中没有空气了?
 
阿美:没有。它们都是真空的。
 
丹尼尔:真不知这些东西有多古老,几千年?
 
阿美:是啊,它们都是来自古代。
 
丹尼尔:嘿,看这个三只脚的杯子。我在电视上看到过。
 
阿美:四千年前的青铜杯子。这可是无价之物!
 
丹尼尔:是啊,没有一点价值。如今谁会用这种杯子啊?
 
阿美:丹丹,无价意味着价值大得无法计算。
 
丹尼尔:哦,是吗?
