12、nHere I am in Amsterdam.This trip has been fantastic! As you know，I am with my aunt and grandmother.They are both good artists，and Im thinking about starting painting myself after I get back.Let me tell you all about our trip.拜访艺术大师杨彦，你好！我现在是在阿姆斯特丹。这趟旅行真是妙极了！正如你所知道的，我是跟我姑妈和奶奶一起来的。她们都是优秀的画家，我在想回去之后我也

13、要开始学绘画。让我告诉你有关我们旅行的情况吧。助读讲解As you know正如你所知道的，为as引导的非限制性定语从句。and连接表示顺承关系的并列分句，第二个分句中after I get back为时间状语从句。My grandmother really likes Picassos paintings and thinks he is the greatest artist ever，so we started in Spain(西班牙) and went to the city of Mlaga，the birthplace(出生地) of Picasso.Near the house

14、 where Picasso was born is a museum full of his art.Mlaga is a lovely city and the architecture(建筑) is beautiful.I was amazed to learn that Picasso had an output(产量) of more than 20,000 pieces of art.He did not just paint，but made sculptures and worked with all kinds of media.He experimented with di

15、fferent styles of painting，but was most famous for his work in Cubism(立体派)，which often uses acute angles(锐角) and where the world is represented as being constructed of cubes(立方体) and rectangles(矩形).我奶奶非常喜欢毕加索的作品，认为他是有史以来最伟大的艺术家，所以我们从西班牙出发，去了毕加索的出生地马拉加市。在毕加索出生的房子附近有一座博物馆，里面都是他的艺术作品。马拉加是一座迷人的城市，建筑很美。我

16、惊讶地得知，毕加索一生创作了两万多件艺术作品。他不仅绘画，还创作雕塑，利用各种材料创作作品。他尝试过多种不同的绘画风格，但尤以立体派作品著称。立体派常常运用锐角，在立体派画作中世界被呈现为由立方体和矩形构成。助读讲解so连接表示因果关系的并列分句，第一个分句中he is the greatest artist ever为省略了that的宾语从句，第二个分句中the birthplace of Picasso为Mlaga的同位语。where引导定语从句，修饰先行词the house。and连接两个并列的定语从句，其先行词都是Cubism。Of course，even though Picasso

17、 was Spanish，he left Spain while he was still a young and struggling artist，and settled in Paris，France.So，after visiting Spain，we went to Paris.During our four days in Paris we spent one whole day at the Louvre Museum，where we saw the Mona Lisa，painted by the Italian artist Leonardo da .He created

18、this work between 1503 and 1506.I was really impressed by this picture of a lady with a mysterious smile.By popular consensus(共识，一致的意见)，this is the most valuable painting in the worldit is impossible to calculate what price it would fetch if it ever came on the market.Besides being a painter，da Vinc

19、i was also an architect，scientist and engineer.He designed many new inventions，including a primitive form of a helicopter(直升机) and a tank(坦克)当然，尽管毕加索是西班牙人，但是当他还是一名年轻而又苦苦挣扎的艺术家时，他离开了西班牙，在法国巴黎定居下来。因此，游览了西班牙之后，我们去了巴黎。在巴黎的四天当中，我们花了一整天参观卢浮宫，在那里我们欣赏了意大利艺术家列奥纳多达芬奇创作的蒙娜丽莎。他于1503年至1506年间创作了这幅作品。这幅带着神秘微笑的女子的画

20、像的确给我留下了深刻的印象。举世公认，这幅画是世界上最珍贵的油画作品如果这幅画在市场上出售，很难估算它的价值。达芬奇不仅是画家，还是建筑师、科学家和工程师。他搞出了许多新发明，包括直升机和坦克的雏形。助读讲解even though Picasso was Spanish为让步状语从句；while he was still a young and struggling artist为时间状语从句。where we saw the Mona Lisa为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the Louvre Museum。painted by the Italian artist Leonardo da

21、Vinci为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰the Mona Lisa。what引导名词性从句作calculate的宾语；if引导条件状语从句。Besides the works of da Vinci，the Louvre Museum has more than 6,000 other European paintings，ranging from the 13th century to the 19th century.It doesnt have any modern paintings in it，however.Modern paintings are all kept at the

22、Muse dOrsay.We went there on our second day in Paris because my aunt was eager to see the works of Claude Monet.除了达芬奇的作品，卢浮宫还藏有六千余件其他欧洲画家的画作，时间跨度从13世纪到19世纪。然而，它里面没有任何现代艺术作品。现代艺术作品都被保存在奥塞美术馆。在巴黎的第二天，我们去了那里，因为我姑妈迫不及待地想去看看克劳德莫奈的作品。助读讲解现在分词短语ranging from.to.作后置定语，修饰前面的paintings；range from.to.是固定结构，意思是“从

23、到不等”。because引导原因状语从句；be eager to do sth.是固定结构，意思是“迫不及待地做某事”。Monet was a French painter who lived between 1840 and 1926.His paintings were typical of a style called Impressionism(印象派)With Impressionism，the painter abandons the idea of representing things exactly as they look in a photograph，but seeks

24、 to show movement and the feelings of the moment，through the use of colours，light and shadows(阴影)Monet loved to paint outdoors，and almost never used a studio.Though when he was younger he painted a wide variety of subjects，when he was older he most often painted the water lilies(睡莲) floating on the

25、surface of the pond(池塘) in his garden.莫奈是一名法国画家，生于1840年，在1926年去世。他的画作是典型的印象派风格。印象派画家摒弃了要像拍照一样精确地描绘物体这一观念，而是尝试通过色彩、光线和阴影的运用，表现物体的运动和瞬间的感受。莫奈喜爱在室外作画，几乎从不使用画室。尽管在较年轻时他画了各种各样的题材，但到岁数大一点时，他最常画的就是他家花园池塘里漂浮的睡莲。助读讲解as引导方式状语从句。though引导让步状语从句，其中when he was younger为时间状语从句；when he was older也是一个时间状语从句，现在分词短语floa

26、ting on the surface of the pond in his garden作名词water lilies的后置定语。Yesterday，we went to the Van Gogh Museum，here in Amsterdam.Van Gogh was also a member of the Impressionist Movement(印象主义运动)Altogether，he painted about 800 oil paintings(油画) and did 1,600 drawings.One of his most famous oil paintings i

27、s The Potato Eaters，which he painted in 1885.Among his works，my favourite is Starry Night, which he completed in 1889.Unfortunately，although van Gogh committed his whole being(身心) to painting，he received little reward (回报，报酬)for his effort.His younger brother，Theo，acting as his agent(经纪人)，tried hard

28、 to sell van Goghs paintings，but could only sell one painting，for 400 francs(法郎)，before van Gogh died in 1890.Today，van Goghs paintings are worth upwards of (在以上，大于，超过)millions of dollars each.昨天我们去了位于阿姆斯特丹的凡高博物馆。凡高也是印象派画家之一。凡高一共画了大约800幅油画和1 600幅素描。他最著名的油画之一是食土豆者，创作于1885年。在他的作品中，我最喜欢的是星夜，这幅画是他于1889年

29、完成的。遗憾的是，尽管凡高全身心地投入绘画，他所得到的回报却微乎其微。他的弟弟西奥作为他的经纪人，竭力推销凡高的画，但直到1890年凡高去世，他弟弟只卖出了一幅画，售价400法郎。今天，凡高的画每一幅都值数百万美元。助读讲解which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词The Potato Eaters。which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Starry Night。although引导让步状语从句；commit ones whole being to.把自己的整个身心贡献于。现在分词短语acting as his agent作后置定语。Tomorrow we are off to (动身去)
