吹毛求疵

吹毛求疵

An art critic was used to criticizing very severely and in a very detailed way.

When he was commenting on one painting and then on another in the gallery, he pointed at a picture and said: "It's showing a marked lack of technique and understanding. Look! Those trees seem to have no form, and the grass has not roots. And here you see the artist had attempted to draw a fly to catch the public eye, I would not disapprove of it if he had been able to draw it better and made it like a fly. But this fly looks like a lump of mud and has not the character of a fly."

At this point while the critic was still rambling, the fly on that picture suddenly look wing and flew away.

有個美術評論家習慣于吹毛求疵。

當他在美術館里評論一幅幅畫作時，就指著一幅畫說：“這幅畫顯得缺乏技巧和領悟，瞧!那些樹看來不像樣，那些草也沒有跟。你們再看這里，作者還特地畫了一只蒼蠅來引人注意。要是他能畫的更好些，使它像只蒼蠅，我也不會發(fā)對?？墒沁@只蒼蠅就像一塊爛泥，也沒有蒼蠅的特征。”

正當這位評論家還在喋喋不休地大發(fā)議論時，畫上那只蒼蠅忽然張開翅膀飛走了。
