I can't understand modern art, to me it look like rubbish.
我不能理解现代艺术,对于我来说,那些东西简直就是垃圾。
and at this point, according to my father, I should be looking at farms and cottages in a valley, with the spire of the church of our village showing in the far distance.
照父亲的说法,我面前应是一个山谷,有农场与村舍,还可远远望见老家村子里的教堂的尖顶。
