English Original
An art critic was known for his severe and meticulous critiques.
While commenting on paintings in a gallery, he pointed at one and said: "This piece shows a marked lack of technique and understanding. Look! The trees lack form, and the grass has no roots. Here, the artist attempted to draw a fly to catch the public's eye. I wouldn't disapprove if he had drawn it well and made it look like a fly. But this fly resembles a lump of mud and lacks any character of a fly."
As the critic continued his rambling critique, the fly on the painting suddenly spread its wings and flew away.

一位艺术评论家以严厉和挑剔的评论而闻名。
在美术馆评论画作时,他指着一幅画说道:“这幅作品明显缺乏技巧和理解。看!这些树没有形态,草也没有根。这里,画家试图画一只苍蝇来吸引公众的注意。如果他画得好,让它看起来像只苍蝇,我也不会反对。但这只苍蝇像一团烂泥,毫无苍蝇的特征。”
正当评论家还在喋喋不休地批评时,画上的那只苍蝇突然张开翅膀飞走了。
