Unit 23

Unit 23 Whose mistake? LESSON 45 It had been a long day. The judges had chosen fourteen sculptures for the exhibition. They wanted a fifteenth, and they wanted to go home. They looked at two more pieces. One was a man's head. They didn't like it. The other was a square, modern piece. The judges chose the modern piece. Then they went home. The next day, the artist received a letter. It said that the judges had chosen his sculpture. But when he went to see the exhibition, he couldn't see his sculpture anywhere. ‘Where can it be?' he said. ‘It must be here! ' At last, he saw something with his name on it. It was the square base of his sculpture. But the top part, the head, wasn't there. ‘It must have been a mistake! ' he said. The judges insisted it hadn't been a mistake. They liked the base on its own, but they thought the head was awful.

谁的错? 这是漫长的一天。评委们为展览选出了14件雕塑。他们想再选一件，然后就回家。他们又看了两件作品。一件是一个男人的头像，他们不喜欢。另一件是一个正方体，是现代派的作品。评委们选择了那件现代派的作品，然后就回家了。 第二天，艺术家接到一封信。信上说评委选中了他的雕塑。但是当他去看展览时，却哪里都找不到他的雕塑。“它可能在哪里呢?”他说。“一定就在这儿!” 最后，他看到某样东西上有他的名字。这是他的雕塑的方形基座。但是雕塑的上半部，也就是那个头像却不见了。“一定是搞错了!”他说。 评委们坚持认为他们没有弄错。他们喜欢那个基座，但认为那个头像很难看。
