暑假大作戰(zhàn):每天一篇新概念英語(yǔ)day26

字號(hào):

The best art critics
    課文內(nèi)容:
    I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is ‘a(chǎn)bout'. Of course, many pictures are not 'about' anything. They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday.'What are you doing?' she asked.‘I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. ‘It's a new one. Do you like it?'She looked at it critically for a moment. 'It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside down?'I looked at it again. She was right! It was!

    參考譯文
    我是個(gè)學(xué)藝術(shù)的學(xué)生,畫(huà)了很多畫(huà)。有很多人裝成很懂現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)的樣子,總是告訴你一幅畫(huà)的“意思”是什么。當(dāng)然,有很多畫(huà)是什么“意思”也沒(méi)有的。它們就是些好看的圖案,我們喜愛(ài)它們就像我們喜歡漂亮的窗簾布一樣。我覺(jué)得小孩子們往往比任何人都更能欣賞現(xiàn)代繪畫(huà),他們觀察到的東西更多。我的妹妹只有7歲,但她總能說(shuō)出我的畫(huà)是好還是壞。昨天她到我房里來(lái)了。
