二.阅读 Wherever travelers go, cameras are sure to follow. It’s great fun totake photos, and even more fun to show slides of the trip to friends andrelatives when they come back home. There’s Aunt Sarah,smiling in front of Buckingham Palace; Aunt Sarah, smiling under the EiffelTower; and Aunt Sarah, smiling in a Venetian Canal. Everyone knows what AuntSarah looks like; they also know what Europe’s great landmarks (显著地面景观) look like. But a young man named David, just back from a trip to Greece, askeda few friends over to see his slides. The young man had an artist's eye. Hispictures were not of familiar Greek architectures. Instead he took pictures offarmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their nets, and beardedpriests (牧师) bendingover their Bibles. He captured (抓住) the color and character of the country. His friends were sointerested that they asked for more. Any amateur (外行) can do the same. All he needs is a simple camera and a littlesensitivity.
