1 I smile at my two lovely daughters and they seem so much more mature than we, their parents, when we were college sweethearts. Linda, who's 21, had a boyfriend in her freshman year she thought she would marry, but they're not together anymore. Melissa, who's 19, hasn't had a steady boyfriend yet. My daughters wonder when they will meet "The One", their great love. They think their father and I had a classic fairy-tale romance heading for marriage from the outset. Perhaps, they're right but it didn't seem so at the time. In a way, love just happens when you least expect it. Who would have thought that Butch and I would end up getting married to each other? He became my boyfriend because of my shallow agenda: I wanted a cute boyfriend!

2 We met through my college roommate at the university cafeteria. That fateful night, I was merely curious, but for him I think it was love at first sight. "You have beautiful eyes", he said as he gazed at my face. He kept staring at me all night long. I really wasn't that interested for two reasons. First, he looked like he was a really wild boy, maybe even dangerous. Second, although he was very cute, he seemed a little weird.

3 Riding on his bicycle, he'd ride past my dorm as if "by accident" and pretend to be surprised to see me. I liked the attention but was cautious about his wild, dynamic personality. He had a charming way with words which would charm any girl. Fear came over me when I started to fall in love. His exciting "bad boy image" was just too tempting to resist. What was it that attracted me? I always had an excellent reputation. My concentration was solely on my studies to get superior grades. But for what? College is supposed

to be a time of great learning and also some fun. I had nearly achieved a great education, and graduation was just one semester away. But I hadn't had any fun; my life was stale with no component of fun! I needed a boyfriend.Not just any boyfriend.He had to be cute. My goal that semester became: Be ambitious and grab the cutest boyfriend I can find.

4 I worried what he'd think of me. True, we lived in a time when a dramatic shift in sexual attitudes was taking place, but I was a traditional girl who wasn't ready for the new ways that seemed common on campus. Butch looked superb! I was not immune to his personality, but I was scared. The night when he announced to the world that I was his girlfriend, I went along

with him. And then I suddenly thought: "Oh my gosh! Am I his girlfriend? How did that happen?" Then he whispered sweet words in my ear and said, "I'm going to marry you one day and I will be a lawyer. You will see."

5 I was laughing inside and said to myself, "I'd never marry this guy. He's a rebel without a good future. He's my boyfriend because I hate my boring student life. I just want to have fun."

6 Sure enough, the following month, I found out he had failed all his

courses. Consequently, he was going to be expelled from the university. To my disgust, he seemed resigned to his fate. I knew there was hope, so I led him to the college secretary for reconsideration.

7 "You are going to graduate with a BA in political science from UPenn and proceed to the College of Law," I told him, lodging an appeal on his behalf, which was approved. Butch was granted reconsideration. And, once we became steadies, he coordinated his studies and social life, passing all of his classes. He eventually studied law.

8 Despite Butch's somewhat wild character, at his core, he is always a perfect gentleman and deserves a lot of credit for that.True, he'd sometimes take the liberty of displaying his love by planting a kiss on my lips right in front of my astonished friends who watched and disapproved. But the truth is we had a pure and responsible relationship for seven full years. Sitting by the palm trees, hand in hand, we would listen to romantic songs, watch the sunset, and weave dreams of being together with children of our own, forever.

9 Two years passed in a blur. One day, Butch took me by surprise as

he knelt down and proposed marriage holding a dozen red roses! Filled with deep emotion, I confessed my love for him, "How roooomaaaantic!!" Then my brain woke up from fantasy land. I cried out, "Good heavens. No! We're too young to tie the knot. We haven't even graduated from college yet!" I really loved him but was pessimistic about our chances for success.

10 We married five years later.

11 Our faithful journey of love and learning took us down rocky roads of hardship and on smooth easy-going highways. It is a long, romantic, sometimes crazy, love story that sums up a 29-year long honeymoon together

as a couple who are still madly in love with each other. Our love commenced with a casual attraction but bloomed into a mature love and rich life.

L a ngu a g e P o i n t s:

t h e i r p a r e n t s, w h e n w e w e r e c o ll e g e s w ee t h ea r t s. (Pa r a. 1)

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:Married to her college sweetheart,the author now is happy with her family and two grown daughters.

N o t e:College sweethearts refer to someone with whom one is in love and by whom one

is loved at college;sweetheart is equivalent to lover,darling,beloved,or dear.For example:

Well done,sweetheart,we are all so proud of you.做得好，宝贝，我们以你为荣。

My husband is the greatest guy in the world;he was my college sweetheart.我丈夫是世

界上最棒的，大学时他就是我的恋人。

He tries to locate his former sweetheart Melina from whom he has heard nothing for a very long time.他在努力寻找他以前的恋人梅利娜，他已经很久没有她的消息了。

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:Her two daughters are at the age of just dating,but they seem

to be very mature wondering when they will meet their true love.

3 T h e y t h i n k t h e i r f a t h e r a nd I h a d a c l a ss i c f a i r y t a l e r o m a n c e h ea d i ng f o r m a rr i a g e

f r o m t h e ou t s e t. (Pa r a. 1)

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:Her daughters consider their parents’marriage a typical conventional romance because they think it aimed at marriage from the very beginning.

U s a g e no t e:classic,classical

1classic用作形容词表示“经典的；精彩的；一流的”。例如：

Death on the Nile is one of the classic works of Agatha Christie.《尼罗河上的惨案》是阿加莎·克里斯蒂的经典作品之一。

口语中也会用到classic这个词。当你看到一场精彩的演出时，就可以说“Tha t’s classic!”来表达赞美。

classic用作形容词也表示“典型的；标准的”。例如：

London is the classic example of the scattered city.伦敦是标准分散型的城市。

This statement was a classic illustration of British politeness.这项陈述是对英国礼貌的一个典型说明。

classic也可用作名词，表示“文学名著；经典作品；杰作”。例如：

We have all the standard classics of Hayao Miyazaki at home.我们家有宫崎骏的所有的

经典作品。

2classical不能用作名词，只能用作形容词，表示“古典的；经典的”。例如：

I spend a lot of time reading and listening to classical music.我花了很多时间阅读和聆听古典音乐。

Classical music is music written by composers such as Mozart and Beethoven.像莫扎特和贝多芬所创作的音乐称为古典音乐。

莫扎特和贝多芬所创作的音乐属于古典音乐(classical music),但这些古典音乐经久不衰，有永久的意义和价值，所以这些音乐也可称为经典的音乐（classic music）。反之，在前面有一例中说可口可乐瓶子的设计是精彩的，一流的，所以是经典（classic）之作，但很明显

可口可乐瓶子的设计不是古典的（classical）设计。所以，经典的（classic）作品不一定就是古典的（classical）作品。

N o t e:Classic fairy-tale romance is used to describe a romance blessed with unusual happiness.Colloquially,a fairy tale can also refer to any story extremely unlikely to be true.

4 Pe r h a p s, t h e y’r e r i gh t bu t i t d i dn’t s ee m s o a t t h e t i m e. (Pa r a. 1)

Mea n i ng:My daughters’perception may be right,yet our romance back then was actually not like what they have assumed.

5 I n a w a y, l o v e j u s t h a pp e n s w h e n y ou l ea s t e x p e c t i t. W ho w ou l d h a v e t hough t

bo y f r i e nd b e c a u s e o f m y s h a ll o w a g e nd a: I w a n t e d a c u t e bo y f r i e nd! (Pa r a. 1)

Mea n i ng:Love comes your way when you don’t really expect it.No one thought that Butch and I would finally get married.He became my boyfriend simply because I would like to fulfill my shallow wish:to have an attractive boyfriend in college.

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:Here is the suspense of the story–the author gives a broad

hint that she will tell us how she and her husband got married at last.

6 We m e t t h r ough m y c o ll e g e r oo mm a t e a t t h e un i v e r s i t y c a f e t e r i a. T h a t f a t e f u l

n i gh t, I w a s m e r e l y c u r i ou s, bu t f o r h i m I t h i n k i t w a s l o v e a t f i r s t s i gh t. (Pa r a. 2)

Mea n i ng:At the school dining hall that important night,we were introduced to each other through my roommate.I met Butch just out of curiosity,but he seemed to fall in love with me as soon as he saw me.

7 “Y ou h a v e b ea u t i f u l e y e s,”h e s a i d a s h e g aze d a t m y f a c e. (Pa r a. 2)

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:The author was obviously attractive to Butch since he tried to please her by praising her eyes.

8 He k e p t s t a r i ng a t m e a ll n i gh t l ong. (Pa r a. 2)

N o t e:Both gaze at and stare at mean“looking at something fixedly for a long time

because of being attracted,surprised,or thinking,etc.”.Stare at usually has the additional meaning of“with eyes widely open”.Also,it usually implies“with great attention”;gaze

at usually implies“in a dreamy and unaware state of mind”.

9 I r ea ll y w a s n’t t h a t i n t e r e s t e d f o r t w o r ea s on s. F i r s t, h e l oo k e d li k e h e w a s a r ea ll y w il d bo y, m a y b e e v e n d a ng e r ou s. Se c ond, a l t hough h e w a s v e r y c u t e, h e s ee m e d a li tt l e w e i r d. (Pa r a. 2)

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:She wasn’t interested in him because she got the impression

that he was wild and strange,which illustrates that she didn’t know much about him at the beginning.Therefore,it’s not true that their romance was heading for marriage from the start.

10 R i d i ng on h i s b i cyc l e, h e’d r i d e p a s t m y do r m a s i f“b y a cc i d e n t”a nd

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:She understood his little trick:trying to see her by manufacturing excuses.Though she was happy to be the focus of his attention,she was also very alert to his wild and dynamic personality.

11 He h a d a c h a r m i ng w a y w i t h w o r d s w h i c h w ou l d c h a r m a n y g i r l. (Pa r a. 3)

Mea n i ng:He knew how to please and attract girls because what he said was always pleasant to their ears.

Mea n i ng:I was in an awkward position:I started to fall in love with him,but I was also afraid of that.His bad boy image was too attractive to resist,but at the same time it was somewhat fearful.So,what exactly was it in him that attracted me?

N o t e:Tempting is a present participle of the verb tempt,used as an adjective to describe the effect that something has on someone’s feelings.For example,if you find something tempting/charming/disgusting/frightening,it means it tempts/charms/disgusts/frightens you.In English there are a group of words describing an effect that something has on your feelings and ideas.For example:

a tempting jo

b offer一个诱人的工作机会

an alarming increase in racial hostility种族仇视的惊人增长

a welcoming smile热情的微笑

a surprising number of数量惊人的

Mea n i ng:I was an outstanding student who only concentrated on studies in order to get excellent grades.But so what?Shouldn’t a good student also have fun?

bo y f r i e nd. (Pa r a. 3)

Mea n i ng:College is definitely a nice place for education but should have some fun as well.Throughout my years at college,I had devoted all my time to study but hadn’t had

any fun yet.Now that I was graduating,I wanted to have a boyfriend to enrich my college life.

15 N o t j u s t a n y bo y f r i e nd. He h a d t o b e c u t e. M y go a l t h a t s e m e s t e r b e c a m e:B e

Mea n i ng:The one I wanted to date was not just an ordinary boy;he had to be handsome, pleasant and attractive.My ambition for that semester,therefore,was to find the cutest boyfriend at college.

16 I w o rr i e d w h a t h e’d t h i n k o f m e. (Pa r a. 4)

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:Her concern about how Butch would look at her shows that she was becoming more interested in him and cared about his real thinking.

17 T r u e, w e li v e d i n a t i m e w h e n a d r a m a t i c s h i ft i n s e x u a l a tt i t ud e s w a s t a k i ng p l a c e, bu t I w a s a t r a d i t i on a l g i r l w ho w a s n’t r ea d y f o r t h e n e w w a ys t h a t s ee m e d

Mea n i ng:It is true that we lived in an era when sexual attitudes were changing dramatically,but since I was traditional,I wasn’t ready for the new sexual practice seemingly common on campus.

18 B u t c h l oo k e d s up e r b! I w a s no t i mm un e t o h i s p e r s on a li t y, bu t I w a s sc a r e d.

(Pa r a. 4)

Mea n i ng:Butch looked extremely wonderful.I was surely influenced by his personality,

but I felt scared.

19 T h e n i gh t w h e n h e a nnoun c e d t o t h e w o r l d t h a t I w a s h i s g i r l f r i e nd, I w e n t a l ong

w i t h h i m. (Pa r a. 4)

Mea n i ng:That night when my boyfriend announced publicly I was his girlfriend,I did not have any objection.

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:She has apparently changed her perception of Butch,from being merely curious about him at first to becoming cautious about his wild,dynamic personality later;from being fearful of failing to resist his“bad boy image”to approving of being his girlfriend.

20 A nd t h e n I s udd e n l y t hough t:“O h m y go s h!Am I h i s g i r l f r i e nd? H o w d i d t h a t

h a pp e n?”(Pa r a. 4)

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:All of a sudden,she realized that she had made a mistake because she was not really ready to have a boyfriend yet.

N o t e:“Gosh”,as an interjection,is used to express surprise.For example:

Gosh,I didn’t expect to see you here!天哪，我没想到在这里见到你！

Gosh,i t’s so cold.天哪，太冷了！

Gosh,there’s a lot of noise.天哪，这儿真吵。

21 T h e n h e w h i s p e r e d s w ee t w o r d s i n m y ea r a nd s a i d, “I’m go i ng t o m a rr y y ou on e d a y a nd I w ill b e a l a w y e r. Y ou w ill s ee.”(Pa r a. 4)

Mea n i ng:Then he quietly said sweet words in my ear and said that he would marry me and I could eventually see him become a lawyer.

22 I w a s l a ugh i ng i n s i d e a nd s a i d t o m ys e l f, “I’d n e v e r m a rr y t h i s gu y. He’s a r e b e l w i t hou t a good f u t u r e. He’s m y bo y f r i e nd b e c a u s e I h a t e m y bo r i ng s t ud e n t

li f e. I

j u s t w a n t t o h a v e f un.”(Pa r a. 5)

Mea n i ng:Though I agreed to be his girlfriend,from my heart,he was just a rebellious boy without a bright future.Therefore,I was not very serious about our relationship.To me,the only purpose to date him was to get away from my boring student life.

23 S u r e e nough, t h e f o ll o w i ng m on t h, I f ound ou t h e h a d f a il e d a ll h i s c ou r s e s. (Pa r a. 6)

Mea n i ng:Just as I had expected,he didn’t pass any of his courses.

24 C on s e qu e n t l y, h e w a s go i ng t o b e e x p e ll e d f r o m t h e un i v e r s i t y. (Pa r a. 6) Mea n i ng: As a consequence,the university was going to dismiss him from the school.

25 T o m y d i s gu s t, h e s ee m e d r e s i gn e d t o h i s f a t e. I k n e w t h e r e w a s hop e, s o I l e d

h i m t o t h e c o ll e g e s e c r e t a r y f o r r e c on s i d e r a t i on. (Pa r a. 6)

Mea n i ng:What upset me was that he seemed to accept his fate.As I knew there was still a hope,I took him to the college secretary to see whether the decision could be changed.

26 “Y ou a r e go i ng t o g r a du a t e w i t h a BA i n po li t i c a l sc i e n c e f r o m UPe nn a nd

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:What she did for her boyfriend indicated their relationship had come to a new stage.Besides encouraging him to consult with the college secretary and submitting the appeal on his behalf,she also planned for his future career.She told him

he had to continue his studies at law school.

N o t e:Besides a noun,“proceed to”can also be followed by a verb phrase.For example: Having said how much she liked my idea,she then proceeded to make critical comments about it.说完她是多么喜欢我的点子，她接着就提出了批评性的意见。

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:Here we see the turning point of the relationship between the two.Her suggestions did work well with Butch since he was granted reconsideration.As soon as they became steady lovers,Butch balanced his studies and social life and passed every course.Finally,he studied law as had been planned.

N o t e:Steady can also be used as a noun,as is in the text.It’s an old-fashioned American way to describe a boyfriend or girlfriend that someone has been having a romantic relationship with.

28 De s p i t e B u t c h’s s o m e w h a t w il d c h a r a c t e r, a t h i s c o r e, h e i s a l w a ys a p e r f e c t

Mea n i ng:In spite of Butch’s a little wild character,he was always a perfect gentleman in essence,for which he should be given recognition.

29 T r u e, h e’d s o m e t i m e s t a k e t h e li b e r t y o f d i s p l a y i ng h i s l o v e b y p l a n t i ng a k i ss on m y li p s r i gh t i n f r on t o f m y a s t on i s h e d f r i e nd s w ho w a t c h e d a nd d i s a pp r o v e d. (Pa r a. 8)

Mea n i ng:Without my permission,sometimes he would press a kiss on my lips to show

his love in front of my friends,who were astonished and resented what he did.

N o t e:“Plant a kiss”is a figurative use of the word plant,which means an intimate and publicly demonstrative kiss showing his love to all who are watching.

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:Butch showed much respect for her conservative perception of love.For seven years,they just enjoyed their romance in a traditional way.

31 T w o y ea r s p a ss e d i n a b l u r. O n e d a y, B u t c h t oo k m e b y s u r p r i s e a s h e k n e l t

Mea n i ng:Two years passed so quickly that I didn’t really remember everything clearly. One day,I was startled when Butch,holding a dozen red roses,knelt down to propose marriage.

N o t e:propose to sb.=propose marriage to sb.

32 F ill e d w i t h d ee p e m o t i on, I c on f e ss e d m y l o v e f o r h i m, “H o w

r oooo m aaaa n t i c!!”

(Pa r a. 9)

Mea n i ng:I admitted my love for him with deep affection.It was super romantic!

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:She was so happy and thrilled to accept Butch’s marriage proposal that she said the word romantic in a slow and exaggerated way.

N o t e:In informal writing,people would emphasize something in a similar way.For example:

Thank you soooooo much!真是太太太感谢您了！

33 T h e n m y b r a i n w o k e up f r o m f a n t a sy l a nd. I c r i e d ou t, “G ood h ea v e n s. N o! We’r e

r ea ll y l o v e d h i m bu t w a s p e ss i m i s t i c a bou t ou r c h a n c e s f o r s u cc e ss.(Pa r a. 9)

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:All of a sudden,she woke up from the romantic scene.Though she already accepted love from Butch and confessed her love for him,she was not sure whether they would get married and have a happy ending as they were still college students. N o t e:It isn’t clear whether this expression tie the knot derives from an actual knot used in marriage ceremonies or whether the knot is merely symbolic of a lasting unity.Knots have

a place in many cultures and usually symbolize unbreakable pledges.Actual knots have

certainly been used in marriage ceremonies for some time.The word knot,although not in the phrase tie the knot,has been associated with marriage since at least the13th century.

34 We m a rr i e d f i v e y ea r s l a t e r. (Pa r a 10)

Mea n i ng b e y ond w o r d s:Though she was pessimistic about their chance for success of love,she accepted Butch’s proposal.They got married five years later,which illustrates their deep and true love for each other.

35 O u r f a i t h f u l j ou r n e y o f l o v e a nd l ea r n i ng t oo k u s do w n r o cky r o a d s o f h a r d s h i p

a nd on s m oo t h ea sy-go i ng h i gh w a ys. (Pa r a. 11)

Mea n i ng:Our devoted and faithful love guided us both in times of happiness and also in times of hardship.

N o t e:The word rocky comes from the noun rock combining with-y.A rocky road refers to a road full of rocks,uneven or not flat.Words of this group

include:muddy,stony,grassy,snowy,rainy,etc.

36 I t i s a l ong, r o m a n t i c, s o m e t i m e s c r az y, l o v e s t o r y t h a t s u m s up a 29-y ea r l ong hon e y m oon t og e t h e r a s a c oup l e w ho a r e s t ill m a d l y i n l o v e w i t h ea c h o t h e r. (Pa r a.

11)

新视野大学英语（第三版）第二册读写教程课后答案 新视野大学英语（第三版）第二册读写教程课后答案Unit 1 Language in mission Text A An impressive English lesson Ex.1 Understanding the text 1、Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules. 2、The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture are so marvelous and remarkable that they should be described at least in a brief account; however, what the student could do was only one single utterance :“whoa!” without any any specific comment. 3、Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency. They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary. And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language. 4、Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with. 5、He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs. 6、Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before. 7、The author uses “road map”and “car”to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary. 8、Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, tho ugh in two different situations and with two different feelings.

新视野Book3 汉译英翻译 Unit 1 Translate the following paragraph into English 如今，很多年轻人不再选择“稳定”的工作，他们更愿意自主创业，依靠自己的智慧和奋斗去实现自我价值。青年创业(young entrepreneurship)是未来国家经济活力的来源，创业者的成功不但会创造财富、增加就业机会、改善大家的生活，从长远来看，对于国家更是一件好事，创业者正式让中国经济升级换代的力量。尤其是在当前，国家鼓励大众创业、万众创新，在政策上给予中小企业支持，这更加激发了年轻人的创业热情。 Nowadays, many young people no longer choose“stable” jobs. Instead, they prefer to start their own businesses and realize their self-value through their own wisdom and efforts. Young entrepreneurship is the source of national economic vitality in the future. The success of entrepreneurs not only creates fortune, increases job opportunities, improves people’s life, but it is also good for the country in the long term. Entrepreneurs are a driving force in upgrading China’s economy. Especially for the time being, our country is encouraging people to start their own businesses and make innovations and giving policy support for medium and small businesses. This further arouses young people’s enthusiasm to start their own businesses. Unit 2 Translate the following paragraph into English 实现中华民族伟大复兴（rejuvenation)是近代以来中国人民最伟大的梦想，我称之为“中国梦”，其基本内涵是实现国家富强、民族振兴、人民幸福。中国梦，是让每一个积极进取的中国人形成世世代代的信念：只要经过不懈的奋斗便能获得更好的生活。人们必须通过自己的勤奋、勇气、创意和决心迈向繁荣，而不是依赖于社会和他人的援助。每个中国人都是中国梦的参与者和创造者。中国梦是民族的梦，也是每个中国人的梦。 Realizing the great national rejuvenation, which we define as the Chinese Dream, has been the greatest Chinese expectation since modern times. It basically means achieving prosperity for the country, renewal of the nation and happiness for the people, thus ensuring that every enterprising Chinese carries, generation after generation, the firm conviction that a better life is accomplished through persistent effort. People should achieve their prosperity through diligence, courage, creativity and determination instead of aid from society or other people. Each individual is a participant and a designer in the cause of realizing the Chinese Dream, for it is a dream not only for the entire nation but also for every Chinese. Unit 3 Translate the following paragraph into English 水墨画（ink and wash painting）是中国独具特色的传统艺术形式之一，是中国国画的代表。它大约始于唐代，兴盛于宋代和元代，距今已有一千多年的历史，其间经历了不断的发展、提高和完善。水墨画的创作工具和材料是具有浓厚中国特色的毛笔、宣纸和墨，其作品特点也与此紧密相关。例如，水和墨相互调和，使作品具有干湿浓淡的层次。水墨和宣纸的交融渗透也使画作善于表现丰富的意向，从而达到独特的审美效果。水墨画在中国绘画史上具有很高的地位，甚至被认为是衡量东方绘画艺术水平的标准。 Ink and wash painting, one of the unique traditional art forms of China, is representative of Chinese painting. It began around the time of the Tang Dynasty, and then prospered in the Song and Yuan dynasties. With a history of over one thousand years, it has experienced constant development, improvement and perfection. The tools and materials used to create ink and wash painting, i.e. brushes, rice paper, and ink, are characteristic of Chinese culture and closely related to the features of the paintings. For example, the mixing of water and ink creates different shades of dryness, wetness, thickness and thinness. The integration and infiltration of water, ink, and rice paper enables such paintings to convey rich images, and hence to achieve unique aesthetic effects.
