课文原文

**Lesson 26: The best art critics 最佳艺术评论家**

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. ‘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!

**参考译文:** 我是个学艺术的学生,我画很多画。许多人假装他们懂得现代艺术。他们总是告诉你一幅画是"关于"什么的。当然,许多画并不是关于任何东西的。它们只是漂亮的图案。我们喜欢它们就像我们喜欢漂亮的窗帘布料一样。我认为小孩子往往比任何人都更能欣赏现代画。他们注意到更多东西。我妹妹才七岁,但她总能告诉我我的画好不好。昨天她走进我的房间。"你在干什么?"她问。"我正在把这幅画挂在墙上,"我回答。"这是幅新画。你喜欢吗?"她批判性地看了一会儿。"还好,"她说,"但它是倒着挂的,不是吗?"我又看了看。她是对的!确实是!

本课例句:
"but isn't it upside-down?"
(但它是倒着挂的,不是吗?)

构成分析:
upside (n. 上部) + down (adv. 向下) → upside-down
表示"上下颠倒"的状态

类似复合词:

- right-side-up (正面朝上)

1.2.2 副词派生

critical → critically

本课例句:
"She looked at it critically for a moment."

原形过去式过去分词现在分词本课出现

2. 期待对方同意(反问)

回答方式:
Q: Isn't it upside-down? (难道不是颠倒的吗?)
A: Yes, it is. (是的,确实是颠倒的。)
A: No, it isn't. (不,没有颠倒。)

注意:英语回答以事实为准,与问句形式无关

- modern pictures:宾语
- better than anyone else:比较状语

【理解关键】
"better than anyone else" 表示最高级含义

难句2:方式状语+定语从句

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

【语法要点】
the same...that 结构中的 that 不可替换为 which
