Cartoonists In a good cartoon, the artist can tell in a few lines as much as a writer can tell in half a dozen paragraphs. The cartoonist not only tells a story but he also tries to persuade the reader to his way of thinking. He has great influence on public opinion. In a political campaign, he plays an important part. Controversial issues in Congress or at meetings of the United Nations may keep the cartoonist well-supplied with current materials. A clever cartoonist may cause laughter because he often uses humour in his drawings. If he is sketching a famous person, he takes a prominent feature and exaggerates it. Cartoonists, for instance, like to lengthen an already long nose and to widen an already broad grin. This exaggeration of a person’s characteristics is called caricature. The artist uses such exaggeration to put his message across. sb.’s transformation from …to…: 某人从。。。到。。。的转变，变化 diva：n. ?歌剧中的女主角 be inspired by: 受。。。启发，灵感来自于。。。 admiration for sb: 对。。。的崇拜（羡慕） pioneer：先驱 dedicate sth. to sb. : 将。。。献给。。。 launch：v. ?使下水, 把船放进水里; 发出, 放出; 开始; 运转, 活跃 (计算机用语); 开辟, 创新; 投掷; 冲进, 打断 launch a new career shift directions : 改变方向 alternate: v. ?轮流, 交替; 使轮流, 使交替 adj. ?轮流的, 交替的; 供选择的; 间隔的; 供替换的 chilling:使人寒心的, 使人恐惧的 rendition n. ?译文; 表演; 解释; 演奏 feature: n. ?特征, 特色, 容貌; 全长胶片; 吸引; 报纸上的一般栏目; 程序的优点, 专长, 特点 (计算机用语) v.是...的特色; 放映; 特写 Tragedy:悲剧 maritime ：航海的 deadly：致命的 flee：逃命，逃跑 slide into: 滑入，滑进 desperately：绝望地，疯狂的 scream：尖叫声 survivor：幸存者 slip：滑进，溜 revived the memory of sb.: 重新唤醒。。。的记忆 dwell on：细想, 详述 catastrophe：灾难 dominant：adj. ?占优势的, 支配的 unavoidable：不可避免的 monstrous crimes：令人发指的罪行 make peace with：同。。。讲和 prosperous：繁荣昌盛的 remarkably adv. 显著地, 引人注目地, 非常地 explorer：探险家 excellent：adj. ?优良的, 出色的, 杰出的 marvelous：adj. ?引起惊异的; 非凡的; 不可思议的 scarce：稀少的 irrigation ditches：灌溉渠 religion：宗教，信仰 ceremony: 仪式 wander：v. ?漫步, 迷路, 徘徊; 漫游 shelter：n. ?遮盖物; 避难所; 躲避处; 掩蔽, 遮蔽 Traffic congestion （交通堵塞）deterred （v. ?制止, 威慑, 使断念） aspire （v. ?热望, 向往） fantastic （adj. ?奇妙的,稀奇的） vary ( v. ?改变, 使多样化, 变更)
