I heard that the Renwick Gallery is a part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
我聽說倫威克畫廊是史密森尼美國藝術博物館的一部分。
Yes, that's true, although, the Renwick Building itself was built in 1874.
是的，沒錯，盡管倫威克畫廊本身建成于1874年。
The 19th century was about 200 years ago, right? That doesn't seem very old.
19 世紀也就 是大約200年前，是吧？看起來不是很久遠。
Well, remember that the United States of America was officially formed in the late 1700's.
嗯，別忘了美利堅合眾國在 18 世紀晚期才正式建立。
So, for Americans, something that is 200 years old seems very old, right?

That's right. It's not like other countries with longer histories.
是的。這和其他許多歷史悠久的國家不一樣。
