　　E:Jules, just look at this amazing painting.

　　E:朱尔斯，过来看看这幅画，真令人叫绝。

　　J： It is amazing, but what is it exatly?

　　J：真的太让人惊讶了，不过这究竟画的是什么?

　　E: It's a Picasso! The style you are looking at is called "Cubism", it does look kind of strange, I must admit.

　　E:是毕加索的画!你看到的这种风格叫立体派，我得承认确实看起来有点古怪。

　　J: Yes, strange but beautiful. What's it called?

　　J：是的，有点怪但很漂亮。这幅画叫什么名字?

　　E: Let me see .... this one is Les Demoiselles de Avignon, painted in 1907.

　　E:我看看……叫：《亚威农的少女》，画于1907年。

　　J: 1907? That's one hundred years ago, but his work looks so modem!

　　J：1907年?那是l00年前了，可是他的作品看起来那么现代!

　　E: Well. he was born in 1881 , so I guess all of his pieces are old. Did you know he created over 20, 000 paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, theatre sets and costumes?

　　E：的确是。毕加索生于1881年，所以我想他所有的作品都是年代很久远的口他创作了20，000多幅油画，还有版画、素描、雕刻、陶艺.舞台设计和服装，你知道这些吗?

　　J: He muse have lived to be a very old man to do all of that during his life.

　　J：他一定是毕生都在创作，而且很长寿。

　　E: He died when he was 92, so he had a long life, yes.

　　E:他去世时是92岁，寿命是很长。

　　J: I heard he was a bit of a womaniser, he had many girlfriends, who he often painted and had many children.

　　J：我听说他很风流，有很多女朋友，经常为她们作画，还有很多孩子。

　　E: Yes, that's true. But I chink he only married twice. His true love was a lady called Jacqueline, who he married in 1961 By then he was already 79 years old!

　　E:是的，确实如此。但是我认为他只结过两次婚。他真正爱的是一个叫杰奎琳的女子。他们在1961年结婚，那时他已经79岁了。

　　J: Oh, yes, I have heard of her, he painted something for her. I remember reading that in a magazine.

　　J：哦，没错。我听说过她。他为她画过一些画。我记得在一本杂志上读过相关报道。

　　E: In the painting he was a faun. calmly and coolly gazing with mature confidence and wisdom at a nymph who blows her instrument to the stars.

　　E:在这幅画中他是半人半羊状的农牧神，带着成熟的自信和智慧，平静、沉着地凝视着宁芙女神，她正对着星星吹奏乐器。

　　J: So, the picture embraces his spellbound love for Jacqueline. How romantic !
