脑洞

(nǎo dònɡ)

A: I heard that you went to a modern art exhibition this weekend. How was it?

听说你周末去参观了一个现代艺术的展览,感觉如何?

(tīnɡshuō nǐ zhōumò qù cānɡuān le yíɡè xiàndài yìshù de zhǎnlǎn, ɡǎnjué rúhé?)

B: I realized just how big the difference between me and artists is after I went to the show. I didn't understand a lot of the artworks and I had a hard time finding something that resonated with me.

看完展览之后我就明白了我跟艺术家的差别之大。很多的艺术品我都看不懂,觉得很难找到心灵互通的感受。

(kàn wán zhǎnlǎn zhīhòu wǒ jiù mínɡbái le wǒ ɡēn yìshù jiā de chābié zhīdà. hěnduō de yìshù pǐn wǒ dōu kàn bùdǒnɡ, juédé hěn nán zhǎodào xīnlínɡ hùtōnɡ de ɡǎnshòu.)

A: I find it hard to understand modern art too. Every time I go to an exhibition, I feel like these artists' creations are really imaginative.

我也觉得现代艺术很难懂,每次看完都觉得艺术家们的创作都是脑洞大开。

(wǒ yě juédé xiàndài yìshù hěn nán dǒnɡ, měicì kàn wán dōu juédé yìshù jiā mén de chuànɡzuò dōu shì nǎo dònɡ dà kāi.)

B: Me too.

我也这么想。

(wǒ yě zhèmè xiǎnɡ.)
