W: Recently artist Samuel Cliff and writer Dan Archer took our readers by surprise with their new comment book entitled Tales Up The Forest. With a diverse cast of characters, and a craze story that reflex upon both reality and unreality, Samuel has once again exposed his unique art to a much larger audience. Here in the studio we are happy to have you with us. Samuel, as an artist where have you been, and where are you going? M: well, I'd like to think that my past as an artist has been an interesting one as far. Stylistically there have been a lot of changes; I started out with a chunky organic brush style, very popular that time. Back then when I did my first book, My Dollar, I had a feeling that comments would just too precious, and I want my work to be bold. I still enjoy working that way. But since then my Interests have changed. Half way through my \on the Little Cat\that's my second series, I move towards a more linear style, which is something I always loved. I've been trying a little variations on things out since then, and now I am trying to push towards a more graphic work. I really loved doing color work.
W: I'd say your works have been fully eclectic in tone and story, do you agree?
M: Yeah, eclectic is a good word for it. I try to take on a project that seems interesting to me, I can't imagine working on just one kind of story for the rest of my life.
W: You are, em, for lack of a better term, all-inclusive artist, meaning you usually ink your own pencils and keep you own style, can you stand to be influenced by someone else?
M: I have been influenced by others in the past, and we've all done an outstanding job. It's the nature of collaboration, isn't it? The thing is now I really enjoying having control over the final look of the art work.
W: what is it about the company you've giving it so much of your time and effort as an artist?
M: It's a very nurturing environment. My editors are all open to new ideas. They've encouraged me to push my abilities and grow. It's a great place to be. And I wonder they keep renewing my contract. Q27: What is the man's job?
Q28: What's the man trying to do now for his works?
Q29: What's the woman's comment about the man's artistic works? Q30: What does the man say about the company with whom he has contracts?

1. Water is great medicine needed to maintain a healthy body and a clear mind. About 60%of your body is water and you must constantly resupply it. The standard recommendation is to drink at least 8 glasses a day. When you are exercising, your need even more water because you are sweating and losing water. Of course, warm temperatures also increase water loss. Just walking for an hour on a warm day may increase your requirement by 2 glasses or more.

2. Some people might think that being a foreign student is an easy task to do. It is not true. We live between two worlds. One, a world of memories, a world of the past where we get our strength to deal with the difficulties of growing up to and adapting to new places, a world that nobody here knows. Two, a world of the present, strange and unfamiliar. A world where only we can take care of ourselves. A world where the rules and values are so different from the ones I was born to.
有些人可能认为在国外读书是一件很容易的事情。但事实并非如此。我们生活在两个世界里：一个是记忆的世界，即过去的世界，我们从那里获得力量，来解决成长中的困难、适应新的地方，那是身处现在世界的人并不知道的一个世界。另外一个是现在的世界，一个陌生的、不熟悉的世界。在这样的世界里，只有我们自己才能照顾自己，这个世界的规则和我们生来所知的世界是不同的。
英译中答案：
让我们来做个假设：现在一份职位面前有两个候选人。从简历上看他们旗鼓相当不相上下，而且两人都举止得体、大方端庄。那么，你的判断会受到两人相貌的左右吗？
就算你的决定的确受到了他们外貌的影响，那又算不算错呢？在过去，我们总是把美貌等同于真善美，而把丑陋视作假恶丑。
即使时至今日，\丑如罪恶\这种表达也没有被人遗忘。当然了，对美丽也有类似的说法，比如\情人眼里出西施\就能与之相对。的确，大多数人的审美观都相似，而且现代生物学研究也证明了人在评定异性的美丑时标准都很一致。这并不是绝对真理，也没有其它的深入研究能够辅助证明。但无论如何，这都是种本能，基本上应归结于人类的进化优势。 中译英答案：
