长释义:
From the Latin depictus, meaning “to portray, paint, sketch, describe,” depict is a way to communicate what you see. To explain to an alien what a banana is, you can either depict it with drawings, describe it in words, or both. But be careful. Writes author Joyce Maynard, "The painter who feels obligated to depict his subjects as uniformly beautiful or handsome and without flaws will fall short of making art."
来自拉丁语 depictus,意思是“描绘、绘画、素描、描述”,depict 是一种传达您所见事物的方式。要向外星人解释什么是香蕉,您可以用图画或文字描述,或两者兼而有之。但小心点。作家乔伊斯·梅纳德 (Joyce Maynard) 写道:“如果画家觉得有义务将他的主题描绘成统一的美丽或英俊且没有瑕疵,那么他就达不到艺术创作的要求。”
