C1: 國家名勝古蹟國民信託過度迪士尼化? 或不夠平民化?
Over a hundred years old, the National Trust has an unrivalled portfolio of over 350 historic houses, gardens and ancient monuments as well as miles and miles of coastland, islands, castles, nature reserves, farmland and villages. But how happy is the general public with the National Trust? Is it too elitist or is it, at some critics claim, trying too hard in its outreach programme and becoming “Disneyfied” in the process. And what does it have to say about the government’s proposals to sell off 637,000 acres of woodland? Dame Fiona Reynolds who has just celebrated her tenth year as director general of the National Trust, joins Jane in the studio.

(2) aristocratic 貴族的
(3) consultation paper 諮詢文件
(4) rumblings about the opening hour 對開放時間有所抱怨
(5) the very fabric of society 社會結構

C2: 為何米其林名廚的女性少之又少?
This year’s awarding of Michelin stars saw a record total go to women chefs: 11. But that is still from a total of 143. Is the profession really changing – becoming more women-friendly? Are different ways of cooking and of running a restaurant being recognised – or should more women be prepared to take the full-on heat in the kitchen?
(1) Michelin-starred chefs 米其林名廚
(2) Your first star is about what you put on the plate, seasonality, consistency (一致性 )
(3) Two or three stars are individual chefs and identifiable by their food.

Her story has been turned into an opera, commissioned by the Royal Opera House. How much is the story of Anna Nicole a modern morality tale for women of our time?

(1) the caricature (醜化; 誇張的描述) of the glorious life
(2) be reduced to bare bones (梗概)
C4: 掉眼淚所代表的意義
Many people report that having a good cry makes them feel better. But for some shedding a tear is so hard. The comedian Jo Brand can laugh but she can’t cry. In a new documentary, ‘For crying out loud’, she goes in search of the secrets behind the tears, and why it appears we are all crying in public now. Jane is joined by Jo Brand and Dr Thomas Dixon, Senior Lecturer in History at Queen Mary, University of London and Director of the Centre for the History of the Emotions and the clinical psychologist Dr Cecilia d'Felice
(1) Our increasingly sentimental sociey
(2) lay a cards on the table = to tell sb honestly what your ideas are.
(3) be an easy weeper 愛哭鬼 weepy (a.) 動不動就哭的 ; (n.) 催淚的電影戲劇= tear jerker
(4) emphatically 斷然地
(5) manufactured and manipulated tears; cheap tears
(6) a cut-off 界限
(7) follow suit 仿傚
(8) inauthentic (a.) 虛假的
(9) Brits are said to be stoic, (堅忍的) strained
(10) the phrase keep a stiff upper lip (沉著不外露) is attached to Brits' spirits.
