弗雷德:
Don`t you care for modern art? Not any of it?


难道你不喜欢现代艺术吗?一点也不喜欢吗?
汤姆:
That`s right. I don`t like it.


是的.我不喜欢.
弗雷德:
That`s a very narrow-minded viewpoint. If you don`t understand it, how can you say that you don`t like it?


那是一种狭隘的观念.如果你不了解.怎可说你不喜欢它呢?
汤姆:
Perhaps I am a little conservative. I just can`t imagine that the modern artist is really serious.


也许我有点保守.我就是觉得现代艺术家没有真正认真的.
弗雷德:
I won`t argue with you, but I think you`re being unfair. The modern artist has a different approach to his work than the more traditional artist.


我不同你争辩.不过我认为你有欠公允.现代艺术家无非在其作品处理方式上和较传统的艺术家有所不同而已.
汤姆:
Are you trying to tell me that these peculiar paintings mean anything? A child could paint better than that.


你想要告诉我这些古怪的画有任何意思吗?就是小孩子画的也比那些强.
弗雷德:
I guess there`s no point in discussing the matter any further. You have your opinion and I have mine.


我想这个问题我们没有继续争论的必要.你有你的意见.我有我的. 

汤姆:
I agree there are two sides to everything.


我同意凡事都有两方面.
