Who is the student's 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'.

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

Of course, many pictures are not 'about' anything. They

are just pretty patterns.

当然，有很多画是什么“意思”也没有的。它们就是些好看的图

We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material.

我们喜爱它们就像我们喜欢漂亮的窗帘布一样

I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more.

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

'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?'

"我正在把这幅图贴墙上"我回答道."这是一张新的,你喜欢吗？"

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

她严谨的看了一会"还能够"她说,"但是不是颠倒了"

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