Han Gan and His Horses
What a magnificent① horse! Even after more than a thousand years have passed, we can still feel the power within its burning② eyes, bared③ teeth and kicking hooves④. NightShining White, now kept in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art 【1】， is regarded as⑤ one of the most significant⑥ horse paintings in the history of Chinese art. Its artist, Han Gan, is known for⑦ his skill in capturing⑧ notonlythe physicalfeatures ofthe animal, but also⑨ its inner spirit and strength 【2】．
【1】句中now kept in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art为过去分词短语作定语，修饰前面的名词NightShining White。
【2】句中not only...but also...引导的两个并列名词短语作动词capturing的宾语。
Born into⑩ a poor family in the early Tang Dynasty 【3】， the young Han Gan had to help support his family by working in a local wine shop. His artistic talent was discovered by accident when he was sent to the poet Wang Wei's house to collect payment for some wine. Whilewaiting at the gate 【4】，
Han Gan used a stick to draw pictures in the dirt and was seen by the poet himself. Wang Wei decided to sponsor the young man to study painting and recommended him to a master. Due to Han Gan's natural talent and years of hard work, he was eventually chosen to serve Emperor Xuanzong in the royal palace.
【3】句中的Born into a poor family in the early Tang Dynasty为过去分词短语作状语。
【4】While waiting at the gate为时间状语从句的省略，省略的部分是Han Gan was，当主句的主语和从句的主语一致，且从句中有系动词be的某种形式时，从句的主语和系动词可以一起省略。
The Tang emperors were very fond of horses. This meant that the animal was a frequent subject for artists. At that time, the most common way to study horse painting was by copying the works of previous painters. Han Gan's method, however, was different—he observed the animal itself. He was a frequent visitor to the royal stables and even moved in to live with the stable workers for quite some time. The horses, whether resting or on the move ， offered him plenty of inspiration . Themore time hespent observing these animals, the more his understanding of them grew【5】. Day after day ， Han Gan painted the horses, hisbrush presenting every detail that he saw with his own eyes 【6】．
【5】本句使用了“The＋比较级．..，the＋比较级．..”这一句式结构。
【6】句中的his brush presenting every detail... 为独立主格结构，that he saw with his own eyes为定语从句，修饰前面的名词detail。
It issaid that when the Emperor asked Han Ganto take a master of horse painting as his teacher 【7】， the artist replied, “I have my own teachers, Your Majesty . All the horses in your stables are my very teachers.”
【7】It's said that...意为“据说……”，It是形式主语，that从句作真正的主语。
Those who saw Han Gan's horse paintings 【8】 all sang high praises for his unique skill, saying that his horses “could gallop off the paper” 【9】. Even Su Shi, the famous poet of the Song Dynasty, expressed his admiration for Han Gan as a master of horse painting with the words, “The horses painted by Han Gan are real horses.”
【8】这里who saw Han Gan's horse paintings为who引导的限制性定语从句，修饰代词Those。
【9】saying that...为现在分词短语作状语，that从句是宾语从句，作saying的宾语。
[课文译文]
韩干和他的马
好一匹骏马！即使过了一千多年，我们仍然可以通过它灼热的目光、裸露的牙齿和舞动的马蹄感受到它的力量。《照夜白图》，现在保存在纽约大都会艺术博物馆，被认为是中国艺术史上最重要的骏马图之一。它的创作者画家韩干因技巧而出名，他不仅擅长捕捉动物的身体特征，还擅长捕捉其内在的精神和力量。
韩干出生在初唐时期的一个贫困家庭，年少时不得不在当地的一家酒馆做工养家。他被派到诗人王维家里去收酒钱时，他的艺术才华无意中被(王维)发现了。在门口等待时，韩干用一根木棍在泥土上画画，被诗人(王维)看到了。王维决定资助这个年轻人学习绘画，并把他推荐给了一位大师。由于韩干的天赋和多年的努力，他最终被选入皇宫成为唐玄宗的画师。
唐朝的皇帝非常喜欢马。这就意味着这种动物是画家们经常创作的主题。当时，学习画马最普遍的方法是临摹前人留下的作品。然而，韩干的方法不同——他观察动物本身。他是皇家马厩的常客，甚至有一段时间和马夫住在一起。这些马，无论是在休息时还是在行进中，都给了他很多灵感。他观察这些动物的时间越长，他对它们的了解就越深。日复一日，韩干画马时能用笔描绘他亲眼所见的每一个细节。
据说，当皇帝让韩干拜一位画马大师为师时，他回答说：“陛下，我有我自己的老师。您马厩里所有的马都是我的老师。”
看过韩干的骏马图的人都对他的画技赞不绝口，说他的马“跃然纸上”。就连宋代的著名诗人苏轼，也曾用“韩干画的马真是马”这句话来赞美韩干画马的卓越才能。

the more..., the better... 属于“the＋比较级；the＋比较级”的结构，其意义为“越……；就越……”。前一个“the＋比较级”是条件状语从句，后一个是主句。主句用一般将来时，前面的从句用一般现在时表示将来。

当从句的主语与主句的主语一致且从句中含有be动词时，通常把从句中的主语和be动词省略。
[名师点津] 在if、as if、unless、although、as、when、while、whenever、as soon as等引导的状语从句中，若谓语含有be动词，且主语又与主句主语一致或主语是it时，从句的主语和be动词常被省略。

Han Gan and His Horses
What a magnificent① horse! Even after more than a thousand years have passed, we can still feel the power within its burning② eyes, bared③ teeth and kicking hooves④. NightShining White, now kept in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art 【1】， is regarded as⑤ one of the most significant⑥ horse paintings in the history of Chinese art. Its artist, Han Gan, is known for⑦ his skill in capturing⑧ notonlythe physicalfeatures ofthe animal, but also⑨ its inner spirit and strength 【2】．
【1】句中now kept in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art为过去分词短语作定语，修饰前面的名词NightShining White。
【2】句中not only...but also...引导的两个并列名词短语作动词capturing的宾语。
Born into⑩ a poor family in the early Tang Dynasty 【3】， the young Han Gan had to help support his family by working in a local wine shop. His artistic talent was discovered by accident when he was sent to the poet Wang Wei's house to collect payment for some wine. Whilewaiting at the gate 【4】，
Han Gan used a stick to draw pictures in the dirt and was seen by the poet himself. Wang Wei decided to sponsor the young man to study painting and recommended him to a master. Due to Han Gan's natural talent and years of hard work, he was eventually chosen to serve Emperor Xuanzong in the royal palace.
【3】句中的Born into a poor family in the early Tang Dynasty为过去分词短语作状语。
【4】While waiting at the gate为时间状语从句的省略，省略的部分是Han Gan was，当主句的主语和从句的主语一致，且从句中有系动词be的某种形式时，从句的主语和系动词可以一起省略。
The Tang emperors were very fond of horses. This meant that the animal was a frequent subject for artists. At that time, the most common way to study horse painting was by copying the works of previous painters. Han Gan's method, however, was different—he observed the animal itself. He was a frequent visitor to the royal stables and even moved in to live with the stable workers for quite some time. The horses, whether resting or on the move ， offered him plenty of inspiration . Themore time hespent observing these animals, the more his understanding of them grew【5】. Day after day ， Han Gan painted the horses, hisbrush presenting every detail that he saw with his own eyes 【6】．
【5】本句使用了“The＋比较级．..，the＋比较级．..”这一句式结构。
【6】句中的his brush presenting every detail... 为独立主格结构，that he saw with his own eyes为定语从句，修饰前面的名词detail。
It issaid that when the Emperor asked Han Ganto take a master of horse painting as his teacher 【7】， the artist replied, “I have my own teachers, Your Majesty . All the horses in your stables are my very teachers.”
【7】It's said that...意为“据说……”，It是形式主语，that从句作真正的主语。
Those who saw Han Gan's horse paintings 【8】 all sang high praises for his unique skill, saying that his horses “could gallop off the paper” 【9】. Even Su Shi, the famous poet of the Song Dynasty, expressed his admiration for Han Gan as a master of horse painting with the words, “The horses painted by Han Gan are real horses.”
【8】这里who saw Han Gan's horse paintings为who引导的限制性定语从句，修饰代词Those。
【9】saying that...为现在分词短语作状语，that从句是宾语从句，作saying的宾语。
[课文译文]
韩干和他的马
好一匹骏马！即使过了一千多年，我们仍然可以通过它灼热的目光、裸露的牙齿和舞动的马蹄感受到它的力量。《照夜白图》，现在保存在纽约大都会艺术博物馆，被认为是中国艺术史上最重要的骏马图之一。它的创作者画家韩干因技巧而出名，他不仅擅长捕捉动物的身体特征，还擅长捕捉其内在的精神和力量。
韩干出生在初唐时期的一个贫困家庭，年少时不得不在当地的一家酒馆做工养家。他被派到诗人王维家里去收酒钱时，他的艺术才华无意中被(王维)发现了。在门口等待时，韩干用一根木棍在泥土上画画，被诗人(王维)看到了。王维决定资助这个年轻人学习绘画，并把他推荐给了一位大师。由于韩干的天赋和多年的努力，他最终被选入皇宫成为唐玄宗的画师。
唐朝的皇帝非常喜欢马。这就意味着这种动物是画家们经常创作的主题。当时，学习画马最普遍的方法是临摹前人留下的作品。然而，韩干的方法不同——他观察动物本身。他是皇家马厩的常客，甚至有一段时间和马夫住在一起。这些马，无论是在休息时还是在行进中，都给了他很多灵感。他观察这些动物的时间越长，他对它们的了解就越深。日复一日，韩干画马时能用笔描绘他亲眼所见的每一个细节。
据说，当皇帝让韩干拜一位画马大师为师时，他回答说：“陛下，我有我自己的老师。您马厩里所有的马都是我的老师。”
看过韩干的骏马图的人都对他的画技赞不绝口，说他的马“跃然纸上”。就连宋代的著名诗人苏轼，也曾用“韩干画的马真是马”这句话来赞美韩干画马的卓越才能。

1．答案：kept
解析：考查过去分词。句意：《照夜白图》，现收藏于纽约大都会艺术博物馆，被认为是中国艺术史上最重要的骏马图之一。此处作定语修饰NightShining White，被修饰词和动词keep之间为被动关系，故应用过去分词。
2．答案：paintings

6．答案：was discovered
解析：考查时态及语态。句意：当他被派到诗人王维的家里去取酒钱时，他的艺术才能被意外发现。根据本句中的时间状语从句可知，本空应用一般过去时；且主语his artistic talent和动词discover之间为被动关系，故本空应用一般过去时的被动语态。
7．答案：eventually
解析：考查副词。句意：由于韩干的天赋和多年的勤学苦练，他最终被选中在皇宫里为唐玄宗效力。本空修饰动词chosen，故应用副词eventually (最终)。
8．答案：The
解析：考查冠词。句意：他花在观察这些马上的时间越多，他对它们的了解就越多。本句为“the＋比较级．.., the＋比较级．..”结构，故本空应用定冠词the。
9．答案：who
解析：考查定语从句。句意：那些看到韩干的骏马图的人都对他的独特技艺赞赏有加，说他的马“跃然纸上”。本空引导定语从句，修饰代词those，且在从句中作主语，指人，故应用关系代词who。
10．答案：admiration
解析：考查名词。句意：即使是宋代著名诗人苏轼都曾赞扬过韩干画马的卓越才能，他在诗中写道：“韩生画的马真是马。”本空在句中作宾语，故应用名词admiration (钦佩)。
