Man Makes Art with a Pickle

Hey, students! Let's talk about art. There are paintings, and drawings… There is sculpting… Even photography can be art! 畫畫、雕刻、攝影，都可以變成藝術！ Almost anything can be art, even a vegetable! 就連蔬菜也是可以！ In New Zealand, a man named Matthew Griffin made art with a pickle! 有一個紐西蘭藝術家，用酸黃瓜做藝術品！ He put a pickle on the ceiling of an art gallery in New Zealand. It's a little dirty because it has sauce from a hamburger on it. The sauce makes the pickle stay on the ceiling. 他用漢堡的醬料，把一片漢堡裡用的酸黃瓜黏在美術館的天花板上。 People can buy this art. It costs 187,000 NT dollars. What? I can't believe it… 187,000 NT dollars for a dirty pickle! 竟然要賣十八萬七千元新台幣！ Do you think anyone will buy it? Well, a few years ago someone taped a banana to a wall. That was art too, and someone paid more than $3 million NT dollars for it! 之前還有人把香蕉黏在牆壁上，賣了三百萬元台幣！ I should do something like that. Maybe I can put a carrot on a wall! I will only charge $30 million NT for it. Would you like to buy my carrot? 下一次我也要把紅蘿蔔黏在牆壁上！我只賣… 三千萬台幣好了！ Well, I'm going to the store right now to buy some more fruit and vegetables! I love art! ________________________________ Vocabulary 每個人對藝術作品的看法都不同，很難說出它的價值。 1. painting 畫 Wow, you did this painting yourself? 哇，你自己畫的這幅畫嗎？ Yeah, I'm an artist, you know. 是啊，你要知道我是藝術家。 2. hamburger 漢堡 You call this… hamburger art? 你把這個漢堡叫做藝術？ What's wrong? 有什麼不對？ You don't like hamburgers? 你不喜歡漢堡？ Not when it's on the wall. 它在牆上的時候我不喜歡。 3. buy 買 I'm selling it for 10,000 NT. 我要出價一萬元把它賣掉。 Are you kidding?
