托福TPO/Official 44 Con 2听力原文Why does the student mention Jackson Pollock?【新东方在线】

旁白：请听一段学生和艺术教授之间的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and an art professor.

我在大约一年前申请大学的时候短暂地见到过你。

I met you briefly about a year ago when I was applying to the university.

你当时在一个教授座谈组内，在讨论艺术系。

You were on a panel of professors and you were talking about the art department.

教授：啊……你现在是这里的一个学生。

Professor: Ah... and you are now a student here.

学生：是的。现在我在艺术系上导论课程，但是我真正感兴趣的是绘画。

Student: Yeah. Right now I am doing the intro-courses in the art department, but I am really interested in painting.

教授：好啊，我也教几门绘画课程，所以我希望将来可以见到你。

Professor: Well, I teach several of the painting courses, so I hope to see you in the future.

学生：实际上我想知道：你负责大学里的学生艺术展览画廊，对吧？

Student: Actually I was wondering: you are in charge of student art exhibitions at the university gallery, right?

学生：所以我知道所有参展的都是学生，但是我想知道你是怎么选择你每个月展览的作品的。

Student: So I know all the exhibitors are students, but I was wondering how you choose the works you exhibit every month.

Is there like a submission process or something?

教授：不。是有一个提交流程的，对的。

Professor: No. There is a submission process, yes.

我们有一个画廊审查委员会，但我们已经有针对本学年剩余时间的展览计划。

We a have gallery review committee, but we already have our exhibitions planned for the rest of the school year.

通常我们的参展者是三年级和四年级的学生，课程已经过半

Generally our exhibitors are third- and fourth-year students, well into their coursework.

学生：哦，我想这将是值得期待的事情。

Student: Oh, well, I guess that will be something to look forward to then.

告诉我，您会展示各种各样的绘画吗？

Tell me, do you show all kinds of paintings?

教授：嗯，事实上我们今年画廊开始做一些不同的尝试。

Professor: Well, actually we started doing something different with the gallery this year.

我们每个月都会展出一种特定的技术。

We are featuring a specific technique each month.

下个月的展览，例如，将展示滴画。

Next month's exhibition, for instance, will feature drip paintings.

学生：真的吗？像杰克逊·波洛克吗？

教授：啊……所以你很熟悉波洛克的作品。

Professor: Ah.... so you are familiar with Pollock's work.

学生：算是吧，虽然我只看到它的照片。

Student: Well, sort of, though I've only seen photographs of it.

我知道他滴漆到画布上，而不是用一个刷子。

I know he dripped paint onto the canvas instead of using a brush.

我读到他把画布展开铺在工作室的地板上，然后爬上梯子倒油漆，就是普通的刷房子的油漆，从罐里倒在画布上。

I read he stretched out his canvases on the floor of a studio, and then he climbed up on a ladder to pour paint, ordinary house paint, from a can onto the canvas.

这是波洛克在四十年代后期的特点，在我们称之为他的滴画时期。

That was characteristic of Pollock in the late forties, in what we call his drip period.

这么做的目的是制造出持续的油漆流，从而画出连续的直线，因为，你知道的，你直接在画布上用刷子，画出的是断线。

And the object was to produce a constant stream of paint to create continuous lines, because, as you know, when you use a brush directly on a canvas you get broken lines.

教授：实际上我教这个课，滴画是去年我们的主题之一。

Professor: Actually I teach that class and drip painting was one of our themes last year.

去年班上的一些学生继续试验这种方法，并使用从挤压瓶到计算机控制的喷枪等各种工具创作了一些令人难以置信的作品。

Some students from last year's class have continued experimenting with it and created some incredible pieces using everything from squeezed bottles to computer controlled sprayers.

学生：他们看起来很像波洛克的作品吗?

Student: Do they look a lot like Pollock's work?

教授：好吧，我们的目标不是模仿杰克逊·波洛克。

Professor: Well, our goal wasn't to imitate Jackson Pollock.

目的是让学生看涂料应用到画布的不同方式。

The object was to get students to look at different ways of applying paint to a canvas.

但是你不需要为了被邀请来展示你的作品而参加一个特定的课程。

But you don't have to enroll in a specific course to be invited to exhibit your work.

只要你的作品适合我们的展览主题之一就行。

It just has to fit the theme for one of our exhibitions.

Why does the student go to see the professor?

Why does the student mention Jackson Pollock?

According to the professor, what distinguishes Jackson Pollock‘s work?

What does the professor imply about his class on abstract art?

What does the professor imply when he says this:

Listen to a conversation between a student and an art professor
Hi, Doctor Morgen. I’m Karen Stern. I met you briefly about a year ago when I was applying to university. You were on a panel of professors and you were talking about the art department.
Um, you now are a student here. I guess I said the right thing.
Yeah. Right now I’m doing the intro courses in the art department but I’m really interested in painting.
Well, I teach several of the painting courses. So I hope to see you in the future.
Actually I was wondering you were in charge of student art exhibitions at the University Gallery. Right?
Right.
So I know other exhibitors or students, but I was wondering how you choose the works you exhibit every month. Is there like a submission process or something?
No, there is a submission process. Yes. We have a gallery review committee, but we already have our exhibitions planned for the rest of the school year. Generally our exhibitors a third and fourth year students well into their course work.
Oh, well, I guess that will be something to look forward to then. Tell me do you show all kinds of paintings?
Well, actually we started doing something different with the gallery this year. We are featuring a specific technique each month. Next month’s exhibition, for instance, will feature drip paintings.
Really? Like Jackson Pollock.
Ah, so you are familiar with Pollock’s work.
Well, sort of. Though I won’t see any photographs of it. I know he drips paint onto the canvas instead of using a brush. I read he stretched out his canvases on the floor of the studio and that he climbed up the ladder to pour paint, ordinary house paint, from the can onto the canvas.
That’s right. That was characteristic of Pollock in the late 40s, in what we call his drip period. And the object was to produce a constant stream of paint to create continuous lines, because as you know, when you use a brush directly onto canvas, you can break your lines. so you like Pollock?
Yeah, I do. I like abstract works in general. There is a class on abstract art, right?
Actually I teach that class. And drip painting was one of our themes last year. Some students from last years’ class continued experimenting with it. They created some incredible pieces using everything from squeeze bottles to computer-controlled sprayers.
Do they look a lot like Pollock’s work?
Well, our goal wasn’t to imitate Jackson Pollock. The object is to get students to look at different ways of applying paint to a canvas. But you don’t have to enroll in the specific course to be invited to exhibit your work. It just has to fit the theme for one of our exhibitions.
