英语新闻视频：间谍的秘密世界

 Secrets from some of the world’s most covert¹ agencies are putting their tricks on display for a new exhibit called "SPY: The Secret World of Espionage²," in New York City. It’s a rare opportunity to take a sneakpeek at tools rarely shown to the public, and a chance for kids to test their spy-skills.

　　In this first-ever public display filled with authentic⁴ devices from secret agents and spies, visitors will be able to learn the tricks of the trade and catch a rare glimpse at tools that brought down some of the biggest criminals and masterminds of our time.

　　Carl Cricco, Marketing⁵ Dir. of Discovery Times Square, said, "This is a pretty concerted effort by the CIA, FBI and the NRO, National Reconnaissance Organization (Office) to basically show the American public what goes into intelligence gathering⁶ through a collection of artifacts that, you know, have historic relevance⁷ through the history of espionage.

　　Get kids engaged in science as well as again, give people a good foundation for understanding what these intelligent agents do on a day-to-day basis."

　　Over 10,000 of the pieces came from the personal collection of author H. Keith Melton, who has penned numerous books on espionage. Other relicswere loaned by some of the world’s leading intelligence agencies.

　　One of the most popular interactive⁸ features is the laser web, giving kids a chance to test their spy skills.

　　He said, "Hollywood has definitely made good use of the laser maze⁹ and we have one here for kids to navigate¹⁰ and to try and go through and sneak³ through without setting off sensors¹¹. And it’s incredible popular with the children here and we think it’s one of the highlights of the exhibition."
