【英音模仿秀】声音博物馆

❤ 模仿文本：Now, a museum curator in Sweden is worried that some sounds may be dying out - sounds, for example, like the click and clack of an old computer keyboard, or the rumble¹ of a printing press. So Torsten Nilsson has organised a collaboration² with museums in six other European countries to record such sounds before they disappear entirely³. He plans to make them available online so we can all hear them. He told me why the sounds are so important.
