【课文】

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.

我是一名艺术生，画了很多画。许多人假装自己懂现代艺术，总是告诉你一幅画“讲了什么”。当然，许多画什么都不“讲”，它们只是漂亮的图案。我们喜欢它们，就像喜欢漂亮的窗帘布一样。我认为小孩子往往比其他任何人更欣赏现代画作，他们观察得更仔细。我妹妹只有七岁，但她总能告诉我我的画好不好。她昨天进了我的房间。

‘What are you doing?’she asked.

“你在干什么？”她问。

‘I'm hanging this picture on the wall,’I answered.‘It's a new one. Do you like it?’

“我正在把这幅画挂在墙上，”我回答，“这是一幅新画。你喜欢吗？”

She looked at it critically for a moment. ‘It's all right,’she said,‘but isn't it upside down?’

她仔细地看了一会儿说：“还不错，但是它是不是挂倒了？”

I looked at it again. She was right! It was!

我又看了看。她是对的！确实是挂倒了！
