章节摘录

插图：Vincent van Gogh was named after his uncle Vincent, a successful art dealer in the Hague, his father was a minister of the Dutch reformed church in a series of small towns in Holland. In other words, art and religion were the two family businesses, so to speak, and Van Gogh tried them both. He worked for his uncle first in the Hague and then in the company's branch office in London.Van Gogh could read，write, and speak English fairly well, he loved to read——he was probably one of the most well-read painters of the 19th century.  He also loved to take long walks through the countryside——Walks that sometimes became pilgrimages that would last for days.After a frustrated love affair, Van Gogh became enthustaically religious for several years. At one point he labeled as a missionary among wretchedly poor coal miners in a remote rural distinct in Belgium,  until the religious authorities, disapproving of his zeal in sharing the conditions of the poor, dismissed him.

•   里面都是一些比较零散的英文文章，拼凑成一本书，不过对专业英语的学习还是有帮助的。
•   这本书到底是英文书籍还是中文书籍？介绍里说正文是简体中文，可打开“查看所有商品描述”，里面的目录和文章却是英文。到底是怎么回事？请卓越介绍清楚一点，别表里不一。因看不到目录，不知内容，只能打一星了。
