(单词翻译)

   He went to the visitors' center in the nearby library. He spoke1 to a young woman. "I can't figure that sculpture out. What is it a sculpture of?" he asked. "You're not the first person to ask about that sculpture. It's called 'Bellerophon Taming2 Pegasus,'" she said. "It's a man wrestling a winged horse." He said, "Oh, so there is a man in there! I couldn't find him. All I saw was a hand." She said, "He's under the horse. You have to look really hard. I think the wings confuse people, too." He agreed. "You're right. I didn't even know they were wings. Also, the horse's head looks like it's attached to its stomach. The whole thing confused me. I’m going to go back and look at it again." She said, "This time, I think everything will be clearer to you. You'll be able to explain it to others!"
