Victor：今天我們來談一下偉大的畫家達芬奇吧。

Nancy：Da Vinci painted the Last Supper, also we can say “The Last Supper was painted by Da Vinci.”

Victor：Nancy! 達芬奇，最后的晚餐，這兩句話是一個意思？

Nancy：Right! Here’s where we can use active voice, “Da Vinci painted the Last Supper,” or passive voice, “The Last Supper was painted by Da Vinci.”

Victor：要提醒大家注意英文中的主動和被動語態(tài)的細膩用法。

Nancy：This depends on whether you want to emphasize the painting, or the artist.

Victor：強調的主題不同，就可以分別用主動或被動語態(tài)。

Nancy：Da Vinci painted the Last Supper, I use active voice to emphasize the artist.

Victor：那我更喜歡《最后的晚餐》這幅畫，我用被動語態(tài)。The Last Supper was painted by Da Vinci.

Nancy：You can see The Last Supper if you go to Milan.

Victor：買張機票，飛去米蘭看看達芬奇《最后的晚餐》吧。Bye!

Nancy：Ok, see you next time.
