Conversation Two

W: Mr. De Keyzer, I'm a great lover of your book Moments Before the Flood.

Can you tell us how you first became interested in this subject matter?

M: In 2006, when the concert hall of the city of Bruges asked me to take some pictures for a catalogue for a new concert season around the theme of water, I found myself working along the Belgian coastline.

As there had been numerous alarming articles in the press about a climate catastrophe waiting to happen,

I started looking at the sea and the beach very differently, a place where I spent so many perfect days as a child.

This fear of a looming danger became the subject of a large-scale photo project.

W: You wrote in the book: "I don't want to photograph the disaster, I want to photograph the disaster waiting to happen.”

Can you talk a bit about that?

M: It is clear now that it is a matter of time before the entire European coastline disappears under water.

The same goes for numerous big cities around the world.

My idea was to photograph this beautiful and very unique coastline, rich in history, before it's too late—as a last witness.

W: Can you talk a bit about how history plays a role in this project?

M: Sure. The project is also about the history of Europe looking at the sea and wondering when the next enemy would appear.

In the images, you see all kinds of possible defense constructions to hold back the Romans, Germans, Vikings, and now nature as enemy number one.

For example, there is the image of the bridge into the sea taken at the Normandy D-Day landing site.

Also, Venice, the city eternally threatened by the sea,

where every morning wooden pathways have to be set up to allow tourists to reach their hotels.

W: Thank you, Mr. De Keyzer.

It was a pleasure to have you with us today.

Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Question 6. When did the man get his idea for the work?

对话二

女：狄凯瑟先生，我特别喜欢你的书《洪水袭来前》。

你能告诉我们你最初是怎么对这个主题感兴趣的吗？

男：2006年，布鲁日音乐厅请我为宣传册拍摄照片，这些照片是为以水为主题的新音乐会演奏季拍摄的，而我当时恰好就在比利时海岸线附近工作。

因为新闻媒体有很多关于气候灾难即将发生的警告性文章，

所以我开始以非常不同的眼光看待大海和海滩，我童年在那里度过了太多的美好时光。

对即将发生的危险的恐惧成为了大规模照片计划的主题。

女：你在书里面写道：“我不想拍摄灾难的照片，而想拍摄即将发生的灾难的照片。”

你能不能谈一谈这句话？

男：现在明显的是，整个欧洲海岸线迟早会消失在水下。

世界上很多大城市也在劫难逃。

我的想法是在还来得及之前——作为最后的见证者，拍下这些美丽且举世无双的海岸线、丰富的历史。

女：你能谈一谈历史在这个计划中发挥作用的吗？

男：当然可以。这个计划还关乎着欧洲看待大海和担心下一个敌人什么时候会出现的历史。

在这些图片里，你可以看到各种各样的抵御罗马人、日耳曼人、维京人和现在首要的自然灾害的防御工程建筑。

比如，有一张通往大海的桥的照片是在诺曼底登陆遗址拍摄的。

还有那永久受大海威胁的威尼斯城，

那里每天上午都必须要搭建木制通道来让游客们抵达他们的旅馆。

女：谢谢你，狄凯瑟先生。

今天能请到你，真让我们感到荣幸。
