Part2参考范文

An art activity that I did that I think is particularly interesting, is pottery. I had never done pottery before, until about a year ago, maybe actually just last summer, my friend Adam, who was a young Swedish student studying at Xi’an Normal University, said that he had found a craft workshop not far from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, on a street of tea and art shops. I went along with him, thinking it was a bit of a strange idea, but kind of interesting and fun. The workshop was full of potter’s wheels, and had a few instructors there. A potter’s wheel is basically a kind of seat, attached to a fairly big metal bucket with a metal disc wheel. There is a pipe of running water which you can control to some extent, and you get a huge lump of clay on the wheel. You use your feet to push the pedals which then make the wheel spin around. As the wheel spins around, and you are seated on the little seat in front of it, you can mould the lump of clay into a round shape. That’s how you make a vase or a pot or any round vessel. It’s pretty hard to explain! Anyway, myself and Adam did this for about an hour or so, with the instructor giving us advice about how to mould the clay, how fast to make the wheel go round and things like this. After we had made a round ball, which was almost perfect in form, he taught us how to use our fingers to create a hole in the middle, and then taught us how to use these *all metal tools to shape the designs and patterns into the clay. It was pretty difficult to be honest, and the end result was… let’s say…a bit *. After that, we painted the pots with a clear glaze and they then went into a big oven called a kiln. The kiln cooks and dries the pots until they are completely dry and hard. This takes a couple of days on a slow heat, so we had to go back later in the week to check our pots. I felt that this was really fun and I’d like to do it again and develop a bit more skill and try to get better results.

我做的一项艺术活动，我认为特别有趣，就是陶艺。我以前从来没有做过陶器，直到大约一年前，也许实际上就在去年夏天，我的朋友亚当，他是一个在西安师范大学学习的年轻瑞典学生，说他在离大雁塔不远的地方，在一条茶叶和艺术品商店的街道上找到了一个手工艺作坊。我和他一起去了，觉得这个想法有点奇怪，但也有点意思，很好玩。工作室里摆满了陶器轮子，有几个教员在那里。陶器轮子基本上是一种座椅，连接在一个相当大的金属桶上，上面有一个金属盘轮。有一个流水管，你可以在某种程度上控制它，你在轮子上得到一个巨大的粘土块。你用你的脚推动踏板，使轮子旋转起来。当轮子旋转时，你坐在轮子前面的小座位上，你可以将这块粘土塑造成一个圆形的形状。这就是你如何*花瓶或罐子或任何圆形容器。这是很难解释的! 总之，我和亚当做了大约一个小时左右，老师给我们建议如何塑造粘土，让轮子转得多快，以及类似这样的事情。在我们做了一个圆球，形状几乎完美之后，他教我们如何用手指在中间开一个洞，然后教我们如何用这些小金属工具在粘土上塑造设计和图案。说实话，这很难，最后的结果是......让我们说......有点业余的。之后，我们用透明的釉料给锅子上色，然后把它们放进一个叫做窑的大炉子里。窑炉煮熟并烘干锅子，直到它们完全干硬。这需要几天的慢火，所以我们不得不在一周后再去检查我们的壶。我觉得这真的很有趣，我想再做一次，发展更多的技能，并尝试获得更好的结果。
