读后续写之艺术梦想
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
To anyone else, it was just a simple white cotton bag, but to me, it was a canvas (油画布) for my latest masterpiece. I laid it flat on the six-foot-long wooden table in my kitchen. With one hand I held down a corner of the bag and with the other clipped my brush in the paint and touched it to the canvas, and slowly an image took shape. Painting was hard, but I enjoyed it. And my friends and family loved the bags. “I get tons of praise for mine,” my mother told me.
Only getting those paintings appreciated was quite not the honor I’d dreamed of when I first picked up a paintbrush as a kid. I used to aim higher. I wanted my work to appear in the Louvre Museum in Paris, right next to the Mona Lisa. But even then, I knew what a wild dream it was.
My parents encouraged my interest, and paid for art lessons. In high school, I joined an art club, and showed my work along with other local artists in an exhibition. I started college and majored in fine art, took classes in drawing and design. But the farthest I ever traveled to was New York City. The Louvre might as well have been on another planet. Then things changed. I met and fell in love with Charlie. After we got married, I took a break from art.
When I finally picked up a brush, I was rusty and lost my inspiration. I tried a landscape but it was flat. Things in the foreground were the same size as in the background. I’d lost the ability. I was frustrated and threw down my brush. Maybe I’d never really had any talent at all. Charlie turned me around. “You have a talent,” he told me. “Keep painting.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
One day, walking through town, I found some white cotton bags in a store window.______

[读后续写四步曲]
第一步 通读全文,理清脉络
1.读要素,弄懂故事大意
本文大意:本文主要讲述了作者小的时候在绘画方面有雄心壮志,希望自己的作品能在卢浮宫陈列在《蒙娜丽莎》旁边,但是作者结婚后为了家庭生活放弃了艺术,在作者想重拾画笔时却发现自己失去了灵感。
2.读人物,理清人物关系
I, my mother, Charlie
3.读时态,确定主体时态
一般过去时
4.读结构,了解叙述方式
第1段:对我来说,一个白色棉布包是绘画的画布,我在上面创作,虽然难但乐在其中,家人朋友也都很喜欢我的作品。
第2-3段:我从小就有很高的艺术追求,梦想自己的作品能在巴黎卢浮宫博物馆展出,父母也对我非常支持。后来我遇到查理并坠入爱河,结婚后我暂时离开了艺术创作。
第4段:我重新拿起画笔时感到生疏,失去了灵感。在这个低谷时刻,我的伴侣查理给予了我支持和鼓励。
续写部分:第一段主要描写我在白色棉布包上作画的过程;第二段则讲述我画的棉布包得到了博物馆里很多人的称赞的场景。
由此可见,材料是按照时空变化来划分的。我们在构思续写时应从这个叙述方式去进行拓展。
5.读语言,把握语言特色
原文中的语言特色:
(1)丰富的情感描写
Painting was hard, but I enjoyed it.
When I finally picked up a brush, I was rusty and lost my inspiration.
I was frustrated and threw down my brush.
(2)细腻的动作描写
With one hand I held down a corner of the bag and with the other clipped my brush in the paint and touched it to the canvas, and slowly an image took shape.
(3)修辞手法的使用
To anyone else, it was just a simple white cotton bag, but to me, it was a canvas (油画布) for my latest masterpiece.
第二步 依据首句,构思框架
1.读懂两段首句
第一段首句译文:有一天,我穿过小镇,在一家商店的橱窗里发现了一些白色的棉布包。
第二段首句译文:第二个月,查理和我参观了巴黎的卢浮宫博物馆。
第一段框架:描写我在白色棉布包上作画,不断迸发灵感,画作得到很多人的称赞。
第二段框架:描写我画的棉布包得到了博物馆里很多人的欣赏。
2.写好两个衔接句
第一段首句后的衔接句:What interesting canvases they could be!
第二段首句后的衔接句:Of course, we took along my cotton bag.
3.写好一个升华句
第二段的尾句,即文尾句。能体现故事圆满结局的句子或故事给我们的启示的句子:
It may not be a “Mona Lisa”, but that doesn’t matter.
第三步 增加细节,展开续写
基于第一段的框架,我们可以补充以下细节:
描述性语言(“我”经过小镇时,在一家商店的橱窗里发现了一些白色的棉布包)→“我”的心理描写(觉得它们会是有趣的油画布)→“我”的动作描写(买了一些棉布包并在上面作画)→“我”的心理描写(作画时灵感
学生用书第116页
并不缺乏)→妈妈的动作描写(妈妈将“我”的一些画作送给了朋友,并告诉“我”他们很喜欢)→“我”的情感描写(看到别人欣赏“我”的艺术,“我”不再沮丧)
基于第二段的框架,我们可以补充以下细节:
描述性语言(下个月,查理和“我”一起带着“我”的画作参观卢浮宫)→“我们”的动作描写(“我”和查理在卢浮宫里漫游了两小时)→描述性语言(有许多要看的,包括《蒙娜丽莎》)→游客的动作描写(有人叫“我”停下来,并问我哪里可以买到那个包)→我的动作描写(“我”告诉他们这是“我”的作品)→主题升华(它可能不是《蒙娜丽莎》,但这并不重要)
第四步 检查优化,整洁誊写
One day, walking through town, I found some white cotton bags in a store window. What interesting canvases they could be! I bought a few and began painting on them. And since then everything had started to change. There was no shortage of inspiration as I held my brush. My mother sent some of my pieces to her friends. She came home with the proudest smile and told me that they all liked them. Seeing others appreciate my art made me feel never frustrated.
The next month, Charlie and I visited the Louvre Museum in Paris. Of course we took along my cotton bag. For two hours, we wandered in the museum. There was so much to see, including the Mona Lisa. But every few minutes, somebody stopped me. They asked me where they could buy that bag. I had to tell them it was my work. It may not be a “Mona Lisa”, but that doesn’t matter.
近现代中国著名画家
Qi Baishi (1863-1957), one of China’s greatest painters, followed the traditional Chinese style of painting. Chinese painting is known for its brush drawings in black inks and natural colours. Qi Baishi observed the world of nature very carefully, and his paintings are special because of this.
齐白石(1863-1957)是中国最伟大的画家之一,遵循了中国传统的绘画风格。中国画用毛笔蘸黑墨和天然颜料画成,并以此著称。齐白石对自然界观察得非常仔细,他的画因此而别具特色。
Xu Beihong(1895-1953) was one of China’s best-known twentieth-century artists. Like Qi Baishi, Xu painted in the traditional Chinese style. Both painters have a beautiful brush line. Xu Beihong believed that artists should show reality, but not just imitate it. Instead, a picture should try to show the “life” of its subject. He is most famous for his lively paintings of horses.
徐悲鸿(1895-1953)是中国20世纪最著名的画家之一。与齐白石一样,他也用中国传统的绘画风格画画。他们两个的作品都具有优美的毛笔绘制的线条。徐悲鸿认为,画家应该展现现实,而不仅仅是临摹实物。相反,一幅画应该努力展示所画对象的“神韵”。他以能画出栩栩如生的马而著称。
