What does the Museum of

Fine Arts display? The National Gallery

contains a large collection

of oil-paintings. Here are to be seen the fmest

works of the Italian,

Spanish Dutch etc. masters.

Este vreun ghid care sa ne

conduca? Vino, priveste la aceasta

Vânatoare de ursi. Este o pictura de Paul Porter,

un artist olandez, îi place acest peisaj//aceasta

marina? Ce portret este acela de pe

peretele de acolo? E o capodopera a lui Tizian.

Ce spui de aceasta compo­zitie? stii cumva cum este intitulat?

E un Rembrandt veritabil. E o copie dupa Maja de

Goya.

E minunata! N-am mai vazut niciodata

ceva atât de frumos! într-adevar fermecator! Groaznic! E de prost gust! (N-are) nici un merit artistic!

Ai fost la Târgul Interna­tional?

Ai vazut expozitia de masini si utilaj agricole?

pieces. What do you think about this

genre painting? Do you happen to know how

the artist entitled it? It's a genuine Rembrandt. It's a reproduction/replica of

Goya's Maja. Isn't it marvellous? Never (before) have I seen

anything so beautiful! Charrning, really! It is awful! It is in dreadful taste! No artistic merit!

Have you been at the

International Trade Fair? Have you seen the Exhibition

of Agricultural Machinery

and Equipment? What are your impressions? The exhibition has produced

a great impression upon

...unul din cei mai mari

muzicieni în viata. Orchestra este admirabil

dirijata. Acest(a) artist(a) este la

înzestrat(a)/talentat(a). N-are trac defel. N-am auzit//vazut niciodata...

scena... Am urmarit jocul lui//ei cu

interes crescând. Se lasa cortina. S-au aprins luminile. Spectatorii (în picioare)

a long run. This is the lOOth perfor-

mance of the play. I liked the... scene best.

I watched his//her acting with

greater and greater interest. The curtain is falling. The lights are on. The audience (standing)

La palarier

Am vazut în vitrina o palarie de fetru gri. Pot sa o probez?

Desigur! Va sta foarte bine.

Este putin cam strâmta. Ma

jeneaza. Poftiti alta, de aceeasi calitate

si culoare, ceva mai mare.

Aceasta e buna. Are acelasi

pret?

Foarte bine. O cumpar. Vreti (doar) sa-mi aratati o

palarie de Panama//pai? îmi place. Ati putea sa mi-o

puneti deoparte pâna

mâine? Nu am bani suficienti asupra

mea sa o achit, dar pot

lasa un acont.

At the Hatter's

I have seen a gray(ish) felt

hat in the (shop)window.

May I try it on? Of course! It fits you very

well. It is a little too tight. It hurts

me. Here is another one of the

same quality and colour, a

trifle larger. This will do. It is same price?

AII right. FII take it.

Will you just show me a

Panama//strawiiat? I like it. Could you put it

aside for me until

tomorrow? I haven't got enough money

about me to pay it but I

can leave a deposit.
