AZUZ: OK. If we were to tell you that you were about to see one of the most expensive photographs ever sold, you might think it`d be something historic, or someone historic, or something incredibly rare. Nope, it`s a potato -- this potato. It`s not even a sweet potato.
如果我们告诉你，你将看到一张有史以来出售过的最昂贵的照片，你可能会认为这是一张有关历史的照片，或者一张历史人物的照片，亦或是非常罕见的东西。都不是，它只是一张马铃薯的照片，这只是一个马铃薯，甚至不是红薯。
But last year, the photo reportedly sold for $1,080,000. It was taken by a celebrity 1 photographer whose other work hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland.
但是去年，据报道这张照片以1,080,000美元的价格出售。它由著名摄影师拍摄，这位摄影师的其他作品展览在爱尔兰国家美术馆。
We`re guessing he was aiming for something totally organic. But if you think the price is kind of half baked, who knows? Maybe snapping speds will become the photographer`s meat and potatoes. He`s certainly harvested a profit and press his bud, open some eyes and captured something totally tuber.
我们猜测他的拍摄目标是完全有机的东西。但如果你认为这个价格是愚蠢的，谁知道呢？也许拍摄速度才是摄影师最重要的部分。他肯定获利，并开拓了一些思路，将拍摄目标着眼于完整的块茎。
