1. The Starry Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a home for the mentally ill. Van Gogh painted what he saw from his window—the night sky with clouds, stars and a moon. However, he didn’t just paint the clouds. He also painted the massive circles of white and yellow racing across the sky. The stars and the moon hang bright in the night sky. Beneath this amazing sky, we see a sleeping village and a dark, lonely tree.
《星(starry)空》是文森特·凡·高于1889年6月在一家精神(mentally)病院里创作的。凡·高画了他看到的窗外景象——有云、星星和月亮的夜空。然而，除了云之外，他还在天空中画了相互追逐的、巨大的(massive)白色和黄色光圈。星星和月亮在夜空中熠熠生辉。在这片神奇的夜空下(beneath)，我们看到了一个沉睡的村庄和一棵黑暗孤独的树。

The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893. What makes it striking is that it shows a thin figure with an expression of fear—the figure’s mouth is wide open and letting out a powerful scream. The figure covers his or her ears and looks directly at the viewer. This figure is set on a bridge above a dark, stormy sea, and against a burning orange-red sky.
《呐喊(scream)》是爱德华·蒙克于1893年创作的。这幅画富有冲击力(striking惊人的),画中有一个表情恐惧的瘦弱身影——嘴巴大张,正发出强烈的尖叫声。这个人捂住了自己的耳朵，直直地看向观众(viewer)。人物被设置在一座桥上,桥下是漆黑的、翻滚的海面,背景是燃烧的(burning)橙红色天空。

The Empire of Light is among a series of paintings by Belgian artist René Magritte between 1953 and 1954. He painted the same scene 27 times. It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside, surrounded by the darkness of night. What is strange is that above the house and the tree, we see a daytime sky full of brightness and soft white clouds. It seems like quite a mysterious scene.
《光之帝国(empire)》是比利时画家勒内·马格利特于1953年至1954年间的一系列绘画作品之一。同样的场景(scene)他画了27次。画中有一座美丽的房子，房子里充满了灯光，外面被夜晚的黑暗包围。奇怪的是，在房子和树木之上，我们看到明亮的天空和柔软的白云。这个场景看起来非常神秘。
