《梵高的卧室》 作者：黛娜·安娜斯塔西娅

Introduction. In 1888, an artist named Vincent van Gogh moved from the Netherlands to Arles, France. Vincent was drawn to the beauty and calm of Arles. He liked the way the light from the night stars glittered across the Rhone River and the way the sunlight glistened over the yellow wheat that grew on the rolling hills. Vincent spent most of his days outside, painting pictures of fields, sky, and sunflowers. This was a new way to paint in the mid 1800s, as most artists up to that point had always painted inside a studio.

介绍 1888年，画家文森特·梵高从荷兰搬到了法国阿尔勒。 梵高深深着迷于阿尔勒的美丽与宁静。 他喜欢夜晚星光在罗讷河面闪烁的模样，也喜欢阳光在连绵山丘的黄麦田上熠熠发光的样子。 梵高大多数时候都待在户外，画田野、天空和向日葵。 在19世纪中期，这种户外作画的方式十分新颖，因为在那之前，大多画家都只在画室里创作。

Painting Emotions Vincent was a man of many strong feelings. At times he felt sadder, angrier, or happier than other people. As his mind and his body churned with despair and delight, the emotions he felt led him to create some of his greatest paintings. He used color and his own style of putting color on the canvas with a brush to show his feelings.

用画作传递情绪 梵高是个情感浓烈的人。 有时候，他比旁人更能感受到深切的悲伤、愤怒与喜悦。 当绝望和喜悦在他心中翻涌，这些情绪催生出了不少他最伟大的作品。 他用色彩，以及自己独有的画笔上色技法，来表达内心的感受。

One of his most famous paintings is called Starry Night. In Vincent's mind, the night sky above Arles swirled with emotion. The sky felt alive to him, and he was able to capture its energy in his painting. He painted the moon and bright yellow stars twirling in a navy blue sky.

他最负盛名的作品之一就是《星夜》。 在梵高眼中，阿尔勒的夜空都翻卷着浓烈的情绪。 这片天空在他看来充满生机，而他也成功在画中捕捉到了这份活力。 他在藏蓝色的天幕上，画出了旋舞的明月和明黄色的星星。

Because Vincent's moods changed often, he understood that he needed a calm and cheerful place in which to live and work. So, he rented a bright yellow house and created a bedroom that would help him feel safe and calm.

因为梵高的情绪常常起伏，他明白自己需要一处宁静愉悦的空间居住和创作。 于是他租了一栋亮黄色的小屋，布置了一间能让自己感到安心平静的卧室。

a comforting bedroom. In a letter written in October 1888 to his brother Theo, Vincent described his bedroom. Well, I have painted the walls pale violet, the ground with checked material, the wooden bed and the chairs yellow like butter, the sheet and the pillows lemon light green,

一间安心的卧室 1888年10月，梵高在写给弟弟提奥的信中描述了这间卧室。 你看，我把墙涂成了淡紫色，地面是格子纹路，木床和椅子是黄油般的淡黄色，床单和枕头是浅柠檬绿色，
