2006 Part A Text 4
1. Many things make people think artists are weird. But the weirdest may be this: artists only job is to explore emotions,and yet they choose to focus on the ones that feel bad.
【译文】 许多事情让人们觉得艺术家是怪人,而最古怪的事情也许就是:艺术家的唯一工作就是探索情感,而他们所关注的却又是那些令人不快的情感。
【析句】 句子比较简单,应该关注explore和focus两个单词的意思。
【讲词】 explore有“考究;探索;探讨”的意思。
Scientists have been known to explore in this region of the earth.(科学家们一直在考察这一地域。)
We must explore all the possibilities for the solution of the problem.(我们必须探讨解决这个问题的所有可能性。)
focus作名词表示“焦点”,作动词意为“重视;关注”。
Because of his strange clothes,he immediately became the focus of attention when he entered the office.(他由于服装奇特,一走进办公室便成了大家注意的中心。)
You must try to focus your mind on work and study.(你应该努力把思想集中在工作和学习上。)
All eyes were focused on the speaker.(大家的目光都集中在发言人身上。)
2. But somewhere from the 19th century onward,more artists began seeing happiness as meaningless,phony or,worst of all,boring,as we went from Wordsworth’s Daffodils to Baudelaire’s Flowers of Evil.
【译文】 但是到了19世纪的某个时候,更多的艺术家开始觉得快乐是没有意义的,是虚假的,更是枯燥乏味的,从华兹华斯的《黄水仙》到波德莱尔的《恶之花》都是如此。
【析句】 句子的主干结构是more artists began seeing happiness as…,as we went from Wordsworths Daffodils to Baudelaire’s Flowers of Evil作全句的状语。另外,句中的see是“考虑,认为”的意思,相当于consider。
【讲词】 somewhere在句中意为sometime,即表示“某个时候”。另外,Wordsworth (1770-1850)和Baudelaire(1821-1867)分别是英国和法国的诗人。
phony也写作phoney,作名词“冒牌货,骗子”或形容词“假冒的,伪造的”。
He is such a phony.他纯粹是个骗子。
