I don't know much about auctions. I sometimes go to previews and see art sardined into ugly rooms. I've gawked at the gaudy prices, and gaped at well-clad crowds of happy white people conspicuously spending hundreds of millions of dollars.

我对拍卖知之甚少。我有时会去预览，看到艺术作品挤在丑陋的房间里。我呆呆地看着那些华而不实的价格，目瞪口呆地看着一群衣冠楚楚的快乐的白人，他们炫目地花费着数亿美元。
