3、ia2021/8/11 星期三8Catherine Palace2021/8/11 星期三9琥 珀 屋 The Amber Room 1709年，生性豪奢的普魯士國王腓特烈一世命令當時普魯士最有名的建筑師安休魯達和戈德恩著手興建“琥珀屋”（Amber Room）。完成后的琥珀屋面積約55平方米，共有全由琥珀制成的12塊護壁鑲板和12個柱腳，其上飾有銀箔，可任意拼裝成各種形狀。在當時，琥珀的價值為黃金的13倍，因此“琥珀屋”無論從材料的貴重程度還是工藝水平來說都堪稱稀世奇珍，曾有“世界第八奇跡”之譽。 為了向俄國示好，加強兩國間的軍事同盟關(guān)系，腓特烈一世在1716年決定將琥珀屋贈予俄國的彼得大帝

4、。1717年，琥珀屋被運抵俄國的圣彼得堡。后來，這座估計價值1億5千萬英鎊的藝術(shù)珍品又被運到了圣彼得堡郊外沙皇村（后更名為普希金城）的凱瑟琳宮。 德國入侵前蘇聯(lián)后，凱瑟琳宮的工匠曾打算用紗和假墻紙把琥珀屋遮蓋起來。不過，攻占皇宮的德軍識破了偽裝，將琥珀屋拆開運到了德國。人們知道德國人曾把琥珀屋收藏在東普魯士的哥尼斯堡，但自那以后就再也沒有人清楚它的下落。60年來，人們有過各種各樣的揣測，尋找，卻始終不見其蹤影。充滿傳奇色彩的琥珀屋成了全世界最重要的失蹤藝術(shù)品之一。2021/8/11 星期三10Listen to the text, trying to get the main idea abo
