In Sarah"s room, 7:25 P.M.
Kevin: What are you doing, brat?

晚上七点二十五分，在莎拉的房内
凯文：小家伙，你在干嘛啊？
莎拉：在网络上看《魔法奇兵》外泄的剧情啊，还有等妈从沙发上离开。
凯文：电视忧郁症吗？我跟你同病相怜。嘿，让我用你的计算机看下一集《我要活下去》外泄的剧情……
莎拉：不要……我要查出目前《魔法奇兵》在演什么。
凯文：天哪，你在电视上看、在网络上看、又在在线讨论、还订它的杂志——你有病啊！



重点解说：

1、 brat (n.) 小家伙，小捣蛋
2、 spoiler (n.) （口）剧情泄漏。网络上常会流传许多之后剧情的可能走向，有些是真的，有些是假的。由于预先得知可能剧情，会破坏观影兴致，所以用‘破坏者’spoiler这个词，指称这些泄漏出来的剧情
3、 get off 离开
4、 blues (n.) 忧郁
5、 subscribe 订阅

昨日参考：

1. I am calling to check my order status.

2. I just heard that seven people are going to be laid off next month.
当people指“人；人们；家里人”时是复数名词，无单数形式。
当people作“民族；种族”解时，就变成了可数名词.

3. Do you have some errands to be run when I"m out?

4. You should really keep your options open rather than put all your eggs in one basket.
keep one"s options open 暂不表态, 留有回旋余地;

5. A parent shouldn"t take sides when children start quarrelling with each other。
take sides 站在…一边,支持…,偏袒…

The Genius of Photography 摄影演义后传- 13

In the course of our 170 year relationship, photography has delighted us, served us, moved us, outraged us and occasionally disappointed us. But mainly, it has intrigued us by showing the secret strangeness that lies beneath the world of appearances. And that is photography"s true genius.

“The elusive lends itself towards the surrealists and the factuality lends itself towards those who are, you know, deeply connected to all the minutia of life.”

The world"s least likely surrealist died a few months after his discovery. By then, his documents had been appropriated by Europe"s avant-garde. In 1929, they were shown alongside works by Man Ray and others at the influential film and photo show held in Stuttgart.

“29 was a phenomenal year for photography, it had the famous film and photo exhibition, just show you the catalogue full. So it"s really likely to find in moment, the statement, really about where photography had gone. Well, this is Bayard, Man Ray from Paris, Hannah Hoch, Edward Weston, Atget, Lissitzky, Moholy-Nagy, Piet Zwart the designer, and in fact, even the British Cecil Beaton gets a look in. Interestingly, we are virtually excluded, as Britain was quite asleep during the 20s, if you like, photographically. The action was in Germany and Russia.”

But in Russia and Germany, the action was about to take a sinister turn. Stalin"s Great Terror, unleashed in 1934, had created a legion of the damned. Heroes of the Soviet Union now declared enemies of the people. First, they were liquidated, then removed from history. Propaganda publications had to be kept up to date as arrest, followed arrest. Alexander Rodchenko, the master of montage, who could turn gulag slaves into rehabilitated workers, was now forced to doctor books that he himself had created, using black ink to turn apparatchiks into un-people.

“These were the photographs that Rodchenko’d been commissioned to make and the book that he had been commissioned to make, and that he had been forced, either actively or passively, to destroy. That becomes a diary of repainting, of obliteration, of destroying or what by, by adding to it. The interesting thing is that do you naturally concentrate on the kind of face area? But then actually if you look at the kind of shoulders in the position of the body, the un-obliterated area which is the clothes and the shoulders and parts of the body, then they still seem to proclaim the human being underneath the obliteration.”

Vocabulary:

lend itself toward: (=lend itself to) To give a chance for or be useful for; to be possible or right for

All of these will lend itself toward a renewed focus on content, which is a very exciting thing for me as a big step toward the high-definition three-dimensional canvas which I originally envisioned with the ORB.

minutia: a minute or minor detail ― usually used in plural

Peter has noted that there are emotional and cultural universals that stretch across ethnicities, across national borders, with differences only in the minutia.

apparatchik: an official who works for a government or other organization and who obeys orders without thinking
