Hi, John! I think we should continue our exploration of art.
嗨,约翰!我认为我们应该继续探索艺术。
Let's do it!
那我们开始吧!
When we talk about our favorite piece of art, we should be able to explain why we like it.
当我们谈论我们最喜欢的艺术品时,我们应该能够解释我们喜欢它的原因。
In other words, we need to give reasons.
换句话说,我们需要给出理由。
There are a few different ways we give reasons.
我们有几种不同的方式给出理由。
The first way involves the word because.
第一种方式涉及“because(因为)”这个词。
Remember: after the word "because", you need to use a subject and predicate.
记住:在“because”一词之后,你需要使用主语和谓词。
Here's an example: My favorite piece of art is The Great Wave by Hokusai. I love the print because I enjoy learning about Japanese history.
举个例子:我最喜欢的艺术品是葛饰北斋的《巨浪》。我喜欢这幅画,因为我喜欢学习日本历史。
We can also give reasons for liking a piece of art in a more detailed, complex way.
我们也可以用更详细、更复杂的方式给出喜欢一件艺术品的理由。
For example, you might say: My favorite piece of art is Hokusai's The Great Wave. I love woodblock prints, and the Berlin blue color he uses is so lovely. In addition, I find the subject matter so powerful. The giant wave is such a danger to those fishermen!
例如,你可以说:我最喜欢的艺术品是葛饰北斋的《巨浪》。我喜欢木刻版画,他用的柏林蓝太美了。此外,我发现主题太有力量了。巨浪对那些渔民来说太危险了!
In the example, the reasons given for liking the artwork relate to the kind of art (the woodblock print), the color (Berlin blue), and the subject matter (Japanese history).
在这个例子中,喜欢艺术品的原因涉及艺术的种类(木刻版画)、颜色(柏林蓝)和主题(日本历史)。
There are many ways to talk about your favorite artwork.
谈论你最喜欢的艺术品有很多种方式。
Just remember that it is important to always think about the reasons for why you like something.
只需记住,重要的是要一直思考你喜欢某样东西的原因。
