漫画是英语报刊中的一项重要内容。漫画家从新闻中取材,以图达意。但由于社会、文化背景的不同,有时我们很难理解异域的讽刺和幽默。为此,我们聘请美国哥伦比亚大学金融教授 Michael Pettis 为我们主讲“读图”。透过漫画,了解世界,学习英语是本栏目之所为。 Comics are an important part of English newspapers and magazines. The cartoonist draws from the news to express his ideas. However, due to different social and cultural backgrounds, it is sometimes difficult to understand the irony and humor of the exotic. To that end, we hired Michael Pettis, Professor of Finance at Columbia University in the United States, to give us a lecture entitled “Reading Pictures.” Through comics, to understand the world, learning English is what this column does.
