【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Hey, Steve, got any plans for tonight?
M: Hi, Jane. No, I don"t think so. Why? Got any suggestions?
W: In fact, I do. I just got two tickets to the opening of the exhibit of the reprints by Julia Margaret Cameron. I should mention it earlier, but I was on the waiting list for these tickets and I wasn"t sure I"d even get them.
M: An exhibit, huh? I like such things. But I don"t know who Julia...
W: Margaret Cameron! She was a photographer in the 1800s. She is interesting to art-historians in general and students of photography in particular because she... how should I say, change the aesthetics for photography.
M: What do you mean? Can you tell me more about her? Her specialty, her characteristics...
W: Well, her specialty was portraits and instead of just making a factual record of details like most photographers did, you know, just capturing what a person look like in a calm way. She, like a portrait painter, was interested in capturing her subject"s personality.
M: It"s amazing! How did she do that?
W: She invented a number of techniques that affect the picture. Like one of these things she did was blur images slightly by using a soft focus on the subject. That"s pretty common now.
M: Yeah, seen that. Who did she photograph?
W: Famous people of her day, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Charles Darwin, I don"t know who else. We"ll see at the exhibit.
M: Cool, I am going to enjoy this. Thank you so much!
