原版英语对话1000个:140 Visual Arts

Todd: Now Jason, you're an artist.

Jason: That's right, yep.

Todd: What kind of artist are you?

Jason: I draw all sorts of things, but mostly I like to draw on the computer, using photoshop.

Todd: Oh, really.

Jason: Things like that.

Todd: OK, was it hard to learn?

Jason: Oh, not really. It's just practice. You know if you feel like you want to draw one day, that means¹ you're an artist I guess.

Todd: Wow, I didn't even know that, I mean I do pictures for the web² site, but I didn't know you could draw on the computer.

Jason: Yeah, yeah, that's right. I've made my own web site as well, so.

Todd: Cool. OK, what's the web site address?

Jason:  www.geocities.com/replicated280781

Todd: OK.

Jason: A bit of a mouthful³ though.

Todd: Yeah, I'll have to write that one down. That's pretty tough.

Jason: No worries. OK.

Todd: So when people go to your web site what can they see?

Jason: Not a hell⁴ of a lot but I did draw everything on there myself, every button every single piece of graphic⁵ you see on there I drew, just photographs of me, my friends, drawings that I've done and posted up and not really much else, but it's good if you just want to check it out. Check some photos out.

ITodd: 'm sure it's great. Actually I'm going to check it out later tonight. So, I'll link it from my web page to your web page.

Jason: OK.

Todd: Is it OK if people write you?

Jason: Sure. Not a problem. Not a problem. I'd enjoy it.
