Do Weird (古怪的) People Make Better Artists?
In one published experiment (there was a whole series of them), the participants were shown one of two pictures of an imaginary artist called Stefansson. One was an ordinary-looking male in his twenties, while the other was a man of the same age who “had long hair” and “had not shaved for several days”
The results were interesting: The people who were shown the untidy Stefansson liked his wild unconventional art more than those who were shown the clean-shaven, suit-wearing Stefansson. The researchers say this preference is due to our desire for “sincerity” in an artist. What they mean by sincerity is that an artist’s style and appearance should go together.
It sounds like a noble idea, but in fact, a huge body of great art, literature, and music was created by artists who did not look weird. Are we supposed to label these works boring and insincere? If so, we would miss an awful lot of classic works, like Bach’s musical compositions and Shakespeare’s poems.
We are too much in love with the unconventional forms of art and the unconventional types that produce them. It is a strange sort of blindness to the fact that a lot of good art has been produced by people who were models of conventionality. Wesley Kant, a leading figure of abstract art, and Eric Cooper, pioneer of musical modernism, both dressed like bankers Larry White, one of the founders of literary modernism, set out to look perfectly colorless in his suit and hat, just so he could fade into the background. It is the gap between their boring appearance and their wild inner world that makes these creators so attractive.
So as we explore the vast landscape of artistic expression, let us not be blinded by the charm of the weird.

Do Weird (古怪的) People Make Better Artists?

【答案】
Researchers found people preferred unconventional artworks created by weird-looking artists. They explain it is because we tend to think artists’ appearances should match their artistic styles. However, many good artworks were created by those who looked ordinary. These artists’ appeal lies in the contrast between their appearance and their inner world, Therefore, we shouldn’t love weird artists blindly. (58 words)

【点睛】【高分句型1】 Researchers found people preferred unconventional artworks created by weird-looking artists. (运用了省略that的宾语从句,表示研究发现的内容)

Translation
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the word given in the brackets.
1.他在处理紧急事件中过于优柔寡断,这直接导致了项目的延期。(indecisive) (汉译英)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】He was too indecisive in handling emergencies, which directly led to the delay of the project.
【详解】考查形容词和定语从句。主语“他”为he;表示“过于优柔寡断”为be too indecisive;表示“在处理紧急事件中”为in handling emergencies,动名词作宾语;“这直接导致了项目的延期”处理为非限制性定语从句,修饰上文句子,从句缺少主语,故用which引导;表示“直接导致”为directly lead to;表示“项目的延期”为the delay of the project。动作发生在过去用一般过去时。故翻译为He was too indecisive in handling emergencies, which directly led to the delay of the project.
2.在我幼儿园时,我就对魔法故事深深着迷。(fascinate) (汉译英)
_______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When I was in kindergarten, I was deeply fascinated by magic stories.
【详解】考查时态和时间状语从句。句子陈述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时;表示“在幼儿园时”用时间状语从句when I was in kindergarten;表示“我”用I,作主语;表示“对……深深着迷”用be deeply fascinated by,I作主语,be动词用过去式was;表示“魔法故事”用magic stories,使用复数形式表示泛指,作宾语。句首单词首字母大写。故翻译为When I was in kindergarten, I was deeply fascinated by magic stories.
3.该AI眼镜一展出就引发了热议。(arouse) (汉译英)
_______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The AI glasses aroused heated discussions as soon as they were on display.
【详解】考查时态、固定短语。表示“该AI眼镜”用the AI glasses,作主语;表示“一……就……”用as soon as,引导时间状语从句;表示“展出”用be on display,展出这一动作发生在过去,用一般过去时,主语是the AI glasses,be动词用were;表示“引发了热议”用arouse heated discussions,这一动作发生在过去,用一般过去时,arouse的过去式是aroused。故翻译为The AI glasses aroused heated discussions as soon as they were on display.
4.你口口声声说不再意气用事,可还是做不到情绪稳定,伤人伤己。(abandon)
___________________________________________________
【答案】You repeatedly said that you would no longer abandon yourself to emotions, but you still failed to manage them, hurting both others and yourself.
【详解】考查时态和从句。“口口声声”也就是“反复地说”,“反复地”表达为repeatedly,“说”在语境中用一般过去时said,后接that引导的宾语从句。 “意气用事”即“放纵自己于情绪中”,表达为abandon oneself to emotions,这里用过去将来时would no longer abandon yourself to emotions。“可”表转折用but连接句子。“做不到”也就是“未能做某事”,“未能做某事”表达为fail to do sth.,这里用一般过去时failed to manage them,“manage”表示“控制” 。“伤人伤己”用现在分词短语hurting both others and yourself作结果状语 。 故译为You repeatedly said that you would no longer abandon yourself to emotions, but you still failed to manage them, hurting both others and yourself.
5.百年老建筑摇身一变,成为集展览、阅读、休闲于一体的多功能文化空间,吸引了越来越多的居民前来参观。(transform) (汉译英)
_________________________________________________________________
【答案】The century-old building has been transformed into a multi-functional cultural space integrating exhibitions, reading, and leisure, attracting more and more residents to visit.
【详解】考查时态语态和非谓语动词。“摇身一变,成为”用be transformed into表达,“百年老建筑”是The century-old building,它与transform是被动关系,且强调对现在造成的影响(吸引了居民参观),用现在完成时的被动语态has been transformed into;“集……于一体”用integrate,这里用现在分integrating作后置定语修饰space;“展览、阅读、休闲”为exhibitions, reading, and leisure;“吸引”用“attract”,此处用现在分词attracting作结果状语;“了越来越多的居民前来参观”为more and more residents to visit。故译为The century-old building has been transformed into a multi-functional cultural space integrating exhibitions, reading, and leisure, attracting more and more residents to visit.

【答案】
Dear UNESCO “Guardians of Intangible Heritage” Team,
I am a high school student from China and eager to join your project to protect intangible cultural heritage. I would like to introduce the art of Chinese paper-cutting.
Paper-cutting is a unique art form with over 1,500 years of history. It uses scissors or knives to cut paper into various shapes, such as flowers, animals, and characters, symbolizing good luck and blessings. It not only reflects Chinese cultural values but also serves as a medium for family traditions. However, with modernization, fewer young people learn this skill, and many traditional techniques are at risk of being lost.
If selected, I plan to interview elderly artisans to record their stories and techniques, and organize online workshops to teach peers how to make paper-cuts. I believe these efforts can help preserve this art. Thank you for considering my application.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
