Unit1 A SHORT
HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING
西方绘画艺术简史
Art is influenced by the customs and
faith of a people.
艺术是受着人民生活习俗和信仰
的影响的。
Styles in Western
art have changed many times.
西方的艺术风格经历了多次变革。
As there are so many different styles
of Western art, it would be impossible to describe
all of them
in such a short text.
由于西方的艺术风格多种多样，在短短的一篇课文里不可能进行全面的
描述
。
Consequently, this text will describe
only the most important ones, starting from the
sixth
century AD.
因此
< br>,
本文只谈及从公元
6
世纪以来
最主要的几种艺术风格。
The Middle Ages
(5th to the 15th century AD)
中世纪
(
公元
5
世纪到
15
世纪
)
During the Middle Ages, the main aim of
painters was to represent religious themes.
在
中世纪
,
画家的主要任务
是把宗教的主题表现出来。
A
conventional artist of this period was not
interested in showing nature and people
as they really were.
一个传统的艺术家无意于如实地展
现自然和人物。
A
typical
picture at this time was full of religious
symbols, which created a feeling
of
respect
and
love
for
God.
那个时期的典型的
绘画充满了宗教的
(
象
)
特征
,
体现出了对上帝
的爱
戴与敬重。
But it was evident
that ideas were changing in the 13th century when
painters
like Giotto di Bondone began
to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way<
/p>
.
但是
,
很显然
到了
13
世纪时
,
观念发生变化
,
像乔托这样的画家开始以一种比较现实的风
格来画宗教场景。
The Renaissance
(15th to 16th century)
文艺复兴时期
( 15
世纪到
16
世纪
)
During the
Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually
replaced those held in the Middle Ages.
在文艺复兴时期
,
新的思想和价值观逐渐取代了中世纪的思想
和价值观。
People
began
to
concentrate less on religious themes
and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life.
人们开始较少
关注宗教主题而采取一种更人性化的生活态度。
At the same time painters
returned to classical
Roman
and
Greek
ideas
about
art.
同时画家们回到了罗马、希腊的古典艺术理念上。
They
tried
to
paint
people
and
nature
as
they
really
were.
他们力争如实地画出人物和自然。
Rich
people
wanted
to
possess
their
own
paintings,
so
they could
decorate
their superb
palaces
and
great
houses.
富人们想拥有自己的艺术品并用来装饰自己的高级宫殿和豪宅
T
hey
paid
famous
artists
to
paint
pictures
of
themselves,
their
houses
and
possessions
as
well
as
their
activities
and
ac
hievements.
,
他们出价聘请著名艺术家来为自己画
像
,
画自己的房屋和其他财
物
,
以及他们的活动和成就。
One
of
the
most
important
discoveries
during
this
period
was
how
to
draw
things
in
perspective.
在
此期间
,
最重要的发现之一就是如何用透视法来画出事物。
This technique was
first
used
by
Masaccio
in
1428.
这一手法是
1428
年由马赛其奥第一
次使用的。
When
people
first saw his paintings, they were
convinced that they were looking through a hole in
a wall at a
real
scene.
当人们第一次看到他的画时
,
还以为是透过墙上
的小洞来观看真实的场景
,
并对此
深信
不疑。
If the rules of perspective had not
been discovered, no one would have been able to
paint
such
realistic
pictures.
< br>如没有发现透视法
,
人们就不可能画出如此逼真的画。<
/p>
By
coincidence,
oil paints were also developed at this time, which
made the colours used in paintings
look
richer
and
deeper.
巧合的是这一时期油画颜料也得到了发展
,
它使得绘画的色彩看上去
更丰富、
更深沉。
Without the new
paints and the new technique, we would not be able
to see the
many great masterpieces for
which this period is famous.
没有新的颜料和新的<
/p>
(
绘画
)
手法<
/p>
,
我们
就不能看到很多使这一时代著名的
杰作。
Impressionism (late 19th
to early 20th century)
印象派时期
( 19
世纪后期到
20
世纪初期
)
In the late 19th
century
, Europe changed a great deal
from a mostly agricultural society to a
mostly industrial one.
19
世纪后期
,
欧洲发生了巨大的变化
,
从以农业为主的社会变成了以工业
为主的社会。
Many people moved from the countryside
to the new cities.
许多人从农村迁入到
新城市。
There were many new inventions and
social changes.
有着许多新发明
,
还有许多社会
变革。
Naturally,
these changes also led to new painting styles.
这些变革也自然而然地促成了新
的绘画风格。
Among the painters who broke away from the
traditional style of painting were the
Impressionists, who
lived
and
worked
in
Paris.
在那些突破传统画法的画家中有生活和工作在
法国巴黎的印象派画家。
The
Impressionists were the first painters to work
outdoors.
印象派画家是第一批室外写景
的画家。<
/p>
They were eager to show how light and
shadow fell on objects at different times of day.
他们急切地想把一天中不同时间投射到物体上的光线和阴影呈现出来。
< br>However,
because
natural
light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had
to paint quickly.
然而由于自然光的变化
很快
,
印象派画家们必须很快地作画
,
Their
paintings
were
not
as
detailed
as
those
of
earlier
painters.
因此
,
他们的画就不像以前那些画家们的画那样细致了。
At
first,
many
people
disliked this style
of painting and became very angry about it.
起初
,
许多人都不喜欢这种画法
,
甚至还怒不可遏。
They said that
the painters were careless and their paintings
were ridiculous.
他
们说这些画家作画时漫不
经心、粗枝大叶
,
而他们的作品更是荒谬可笑。
Modern Art (20th century to today)
现代艺术
(20
世纪至今
)
At the time
they were created, the Impressionist paintings
were controversial, but today they
are
accepted as the beginning of what we call
< br>在印象派作品的创建初期
,
它们是存
在着争议的
,
但是如今己被人们接受而成为现在我们所说的
“
现代艺术
”
的始祖了。
This
is
because the Impressionists encouraged
artists to look at their environment in new ways.
这是因
为印象派鼓励画家用一种崭新的视角看待他们的环境。<
/p>
There are scores of modern art styles,
but without the Impressionists, many of
these painting styles might not exist.
如今
,
现代艺术风格
有好几十种
,
然而如果没有印象派
,
那么这许多不同的风格就不可能存在。
On
the
one
hand,
some modern art is abstract; that is,
the painter does not attempt to paint objects as
we see them
with
our
eyes,
but
instead
concentrates
on certain
qualities
of
the
object,
using colour,
line
and
shape
to
represent
them.
一方面
,
有些现代艺术是抽象的
,
也就是说
,
画家并不打算把我们眼睛
看到的东西如实地画出来
,
而是集中展现物体的某些品质特性
,
用色彩、线条和形状把它们呈
现出来。
On
the
other
hand,
some
paintings
of
modern
art
are
so
realistic
that
they
look
like
photographs.
而另一方面
,
有些现代派的艺术作品却是那么写实
,
看上去就像是照片。
These
styles are
so different.
这些风格如此不同。
Who
can predict what painting styles there will be in
the future?
谁能预言将来会有什么样的绘画艺术风
格
?

Unit 2 A FEW
SIMPLE FORMS OF ENGLISH POEMS
简体英文诗
There are various reasons why people
write poetry.
人们写诗有着各种各样的理由。

poems tell a story or
describe something in a way that will give the
reader a strong impression.

a
common
type

imaginative, and they delight small
children because they rhyme, have strong rhythm
and a lot of
repetition.
童谣的
语言具体但富有想象力，
这使得小孩子们快乐，
因为它们押韵，
节奏感强，

The
poems may not make sense and even seem
contradictory
, but they are easy to
learn and recite.

的时候，我也吸过烟，而且还上了瘾。
By the
way, did you know that this is because you become
addicted in three different ways?
这儿
我想顺便问你一个问题，
你知道上瘾有三个方面的原因吗？
First, you can become physically
addicted to nicotine, which is one of
the hundreds of chemicals in cigarettes.
首先，你会在身体
上对尼古丁有瘾，它是香烟里几百种化学物质之一。
This means that after a while
your body
becomes accustomed to having
nicotine in it.
这句是说，过一段时间以后，你的身体习惯了香
烟里的尼古丁，
So when the
drug leaves your body, you get withdrawal
symptoms.
一旦你的体
内没有这种麻醉剂了，你就会
有断瘾症状，
I remember feeling
bad-tempered and sometimes
even in
pain.
我记得曾感到烦躁、甚至痛苦。
Secondly, you
become addicted through habit.
其
次你也可能因为习惯的原因而上瘾。
As you know, if you
do the same thing over and over again,
you begin to do it automatically.
你知道，如果你反反复复地做同一件事情，你就会自动地做
它。
Lastly, you can become mentally addicted.
最后，
你可以心理上瘾。
I believed I was happier
and
more relaxed after having a cigarette, so I began
to think that I could only feel good when I
smoked.
我那时认为，
抽了一
支烟后就会感到更轻松愉快，
于是我就以为抽烟才能使自己感
觉
良好。
I was addicted in all
three ways, so it was very difficult to quit.
我之所以上瘾就有着
这三个方面的原因，因此，要戒烟就很难。
But I did finally
manage.
但是我终于还是戒掉了。
When I was young, I didn't know much
about the harmful effects of smoking.
在
我年轻的时候，
关于吸烟的危害性我知道的并不多。
I
didn't
know,
for
example,
that
it
could
do
terrible
damage
to
your
heart
and
lungs
or
that
it
was
more
difficult
for
smoking
couples
to
become
pregnant.
例如，我不知道抽烟能严重侵害人的心脏
和肺部，也不知道吸烟的夫妇生育能力
会下降。
I certainly didn't know their babies
may have a smaller birth weight or even be
abnormal
in
some
way.
我当然不知道他们的婴儿在出生时可能体重较轻或某
些方面不正常。
Neither
did I know
that my cigarette smoke could affect the health of
non-smokers.
我更不知道，我自己
吸烟还会损害
那些不吸烟人的健康。
However, what I did know was
that my girlfriend thought I
smelt
terrible.
然而我的的确确知道，我的女朋友觉得我的烟味很难闻。
She said my breath
and
clothes smelt, and that the ends of my fingers
were turning yellow.
她说我的呼吸、
我的衣服
都有味道，而且我的手指头都变黄了。
She
told
me
that she wouldn't
go
out with
me
again
unless
I
stopped!
她说在我把烟戒掉之前不会跟我一起出去。
I
also
noticed
that
I
became
breathless quickly, and that I wasn't
enjoying sport as much.
我还注意到我的呼吸变得急促，并
且使我不那么喜爱运动了。
When
I was taken off the school football team because I
was unfit, I
knew it was time to quit
smoking.
而由于我身体不健康被校足球队除名之后，我才知道该是
我戒烟的时候了。
I am sending you some
advice I found on the Internet.
我把我从网上找
到的
一些忠告寄给你，也许对你戒烟和坚定决心会有所帮助。
I
t
might
help
you
to
stop
