雅思口语话题的第三个特征就是：隐蔽。先来看一道关于历史的考题，是如何隐藏“传统”的：

【真题实例】 Why do you think people nowadays dislike visiting a historical site?

【答题思路】 该题问的是为什么现在的人都不喜欢去参观历史古迹。由于历史古迹本身就是一种文化遗产(cultural heritage)，因此参观历史古迹其实是对传统的一种继承形式。可以从两方面找原因：一是现代科技的发展速度过快，导致人们产生“重科技、轻人文”的思维倾向;二是对历史古迹的保护力度不够，其本身已经丧失了吸引力。

【参考答案】 Well, that’s right. Less and less people nowadays are showing interest in visiting a historical site. I think one reason is that modern science and technology is developing with a faster pace than ever before. So many high-tech products and devices are available for modern consumers that they tend to think science and technology is what life is all about, and they tend to care less and less about the humanities, histories and traditions. Another important reason is to be found in historical sites themselves, which are being damaged or even ruined due to the lack of protection and preservation. For many young people like me, these places no longer hold any appeal.

很显然，该回答把人们不爱去参观历史古迹的原因归结为“科技发展 VS 人文传统”的两元对立。于是，在我们阐述原因的同时，就很巧妙地把隐藏在深处的humanities, histories and traditions推到了台前，显示出讲话者的人文关怀。而在谈到年轻人不再对历史古迹感兴趣的时候，也折射出对于传统文化渐渐式微的一种忧虑之心。
