我是一名艺术学生，我画了很多幅画。
I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures.
许多人假装自己懂得现代艺术。
Many people pretend that they understand modern art.
他们总是告诉你一幅画"画的是什么"。
They always tell you what a picture is 'about'.
当然了，很多画根本不"关于"任何东西。
Of course, many pictures are not 'about' anything.
它们不过是些漂亮的图案而已。
They are just pretty patterns.
我们喜欢它们，就像我们喜欢漂亮的窗帘布料一样。
We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material.
我认为，年幼的孩子往往比任何人都更能欣赏现代画。
I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else.
他们注意到的更多。
They notice more.
我妹妹才七岁，但她总是告诉我，我的画是否画得好。
My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not.
昨天她走进了我的房间。
She came into my room yesterday.
"你在做什么？"她问道。
'What are you doing?' she asked.
"我正在把这幅画挂到墙上，"我回答道，"这是一幅新的。你喜欢它吗？"
'I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it?'
她审视地看了那幅画片刻。
She looked at it critically for a moment.
"还不错，"她说，"但它不是倒挂着的吗？"
'It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside down?'
我又看了一眼。
I looked at it again.
她说得对！画确实挂倒了！
She was right! It was!
