Lesson 26 The best art critics最佳艺术评论家 Who is the students best critic? 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 about. 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. Im hanging this picture on the wall, I answered. Its a new one. Do you like it? She looked at it critically for a moment. Its all right, she said, but isnt it upside down? I looked at it again. She was right! It was!参考译文我是个学艺术的学生，画了很多画。有很多人装成很懂现代艺术的样子，总是告诉你一幅画的“意思”是什么。当然，有很多画是什么“意思”也没有的。它们就是些好看的图案，我们喜爱它们就像我们喜欢漂亮的窗帘布一样。我觉得小孩子们往往比任何人都更能欣赏现代绘画，他们观察到的东西更多。我的妹妹只有7岁，但她总能说出我的画是好还是坏。昨天她到我房里来了。 【New words and expressions】（13）1 art:t n.艺术2 critic kritik n.评论家3 paint peint v.画4 pretendpritend v.假装5 pattern ptn n.图案6 curtain k:tn n.窗帘，幕布7 materialmtiril n.材料8 appreciatepri:ieit v.鉴赏9 notice nutis v.注意到10 whetherwee conj.是否11 hang h v.悬挂，吊12 criticallykritikli ad.批评地13 upsidepsaid 上下颠倒地一单词讲解：art1) U 艺术，美术an art student 一个学艺术的学生an art gallery lri 画廊an art critic 艺术评论家an art lover 艺术爱好者eg.
