Lesson55 An Amateur 1 Artist 2
When Sebastian was 4 at school, his favourite lesson was art, and he wonseveral prizes 5 because he was so good at painting 6.
Once he left school, he got 7 a position 8 as 3 a clerk 9 in a bank, but three timesa week he went to evening classes in art, and whenever 10 he had 11 time at theweekends, he painted.
After a few 12 months he thought 13, "Perhaps 14 I can sell some of my picturesand get enough money to leave the bank and become a real 15 artist because Idon"t like life 16 at the bank. I only enjoy painting."In the bank, Sebastian sometimes had to deal 17 with a man who owned 18 apicture shop. Sebastian invited 19 him to his home one evening to see some ofhis work. Sebastian took 20 the man to his studio 21 and started to show him someof his pictures, with some pride 22 and hope 23.
The man looked at them one after another while 24 Sebastian watched hisface, but to Sebastian＇s disappointment 25 the man did 26 not say anything, andhis expression 27 did not change at any of them either 28.
Then, when he had finished 29, he looked around, and his glance 30 fell 31 onsomething else. A happy look came 32 over his face for the first time, and hesaid, "Now I like this one very much! It's so full of deep 34 feeling 35! I"m sureI could 36 sell this one for you!""That," said 33 Sebastian "is the place where I clean the paint off 37 mybrushes."
amateur 业余的
glance 眼光
业余艺术家
塞巴斯蒂安在中学时，他最喜欢的课是艺术课，而且因为画的画相当不错，得过几次奖。一毕业，他就得到一个银行职员的工作，但仍然一周三次去夜校上艺术课，而且只要周末有时间就绘画。
过了几个月，他想：“或许我可以卖掉一些画，挣到足够的钱就离开银行，做一个真正的艺术家，因为我不喜欢银行的工作，只喜爱绘画。”
在银行，塞巴斯蒂安有时处理一个画铺老板的业务，有天晚上，他邀请这个老板到家里看看自己的一些作品。塞巴斯蒂安把老板带到画室，带着自豪和希望向他展示几幅画。
老板一幅接一幅的看画，塞巴斯蒂安则观察着他的脸，但令人失望的是，老板什么也没说，他的表情也没因哪一幅画而改变。
看完后，他四处望望，目光落在了其他地方。脸上第一次有了满意的神情，然后他说：
“现在我很喜欢这幅作品！它饱含如此强烈的情感！我保证给你卖出去！”
“那个，”塞巴斯蒂安说：“是我清洁画笔颜料的地方。”
