a: do you mean to tell me you don’t care for modern art? not any of it?
b: that’s right. i don’t understand it and i don’t like it.
a: that’s a very narrow-minded viewpoint. if you don’t understand it, how can you say that you don’t like it?
b: perhaps i am a little conservative. i just can’t imagine that the modern artist is really serious.
a: i won’t argue with you, but i think you are unfair. the modern artist has a different approach to his work with the more traditional artist.
b: are you trying to tell me that these peculiar paintings mean anything? a child could paint better than that.
a: i guess there’s no point in discussing the matter any further. you have your opinion and i have mine.
b: i agree there are two sides to everything, but this time i see only one of them.
a: well, i am attempting to explain that the modern artist is trying to get across his personal feelings about the world around him.
b: then he should keep his feelings to himself.
a：你的意思是说你不关心现代艺术？一点都不关心？
b：是的。我不懂也不喜欢。
a：真是眼光狭隘。如果你不懂艺术，你怎么能说你不喜欢呢？
b：也许我有点保守。我只是不敢想象现代艺术家们真的严肃地对待艺术。
a：我不想和你争执，但是我想你有失公正。现代艺术家对待他们的工作的方式与传统的艺术家是有区别的。
b：那你试试告诉我这些奇特的画表达什么含义？一个小孩都比他们画得好。
a：我想没必要再进一步讨论这个问题了。你有你的观点，我有我的。
b：我同意任何事情都有它的两面性，但是现在我只看到它们中的一面。
a：很好，我也想解释一下的就是：现代艺术家尝试着表现出他们个人对他们周围环境的感觉。
b：那他也该保持他对自己的感觉吧。
