大學(xué)新概念英語第四冊：Lesson31

1、大學(xué)新概念英語第四冊： Lesson31【篇一】The sculptor speaks雕塑家的語言First listen and then answer the following question. 聽錄音，然后回答以下問題。What do you have to be able to do to appreciate sculpture?Appreciation of sculpture depends upon the ability to respond to form in there dimension. That is perhaps why sculpture has bee

2、n described as the most difficult of all arts; certainly it is more difficult than the arts which involve appreciation of flat forms, shape in only two dimensions. Many more people are form-blind than colour-blind. The child learning to see, first distinguishes only twodimensional shape; it cannot j

3、udge distances, depths. Later, for its personal safety and practical needs, it has to develop (partly by means of touch) the ability to judge roughly three-dimensonal distances. But having satisfied the requirements of practical necessity, most people go no further. Though they may attain considerab

4、le accuracy in the perception of flat from, they do no make the further. Though they may attain considerable accuracy in the perception of flat form, they do not make the further intellectual andemotional effort needed to comprehend form in its full spatial existence.This is what the sculptor must d

5、o. He must strive continually to think of, and use, form in its full spatial completeness. He gets the solid shape, as it were, inside his head-he thinks of it, whatever its size, as if he were holding it completely enclosed in the hollow of his hand. He mentally visualizes a complex form from all r

6、ound itself; he knows while he looks at one side what the other side is like, he identifies himself with its centre of gravity, its mass, its weight; he realizes its volume, as the space that the shape displaces in the air.And the sensitive observer of sculpture must also learn to feel shape simply

7、as shape, not as description or reminiscence. He must, for example, perceive an egg as a simple single solid shape, quite apart from its significance as food, or from the literary idea that it will become a bird. And so with solids such as a shell, a nut, a plum, a pear, a tadpole, a mushroom, a mou

From these he can go on to appreciate more complex forms of combinations of several forms.HENRY MOORE The Sculptor Speaks from The Listener【篇二】New words and expressions 生詞和短語colour-blind adj. 色盲的perce

10、全和實(shí)際需要，兒童必須發(fā)展 （部分通過觸覺 ） 粗略判斷三 維空間距離的水平。但是。絕大部分人在滿足了實(shí)際需要后，就不再 繼續(xù)發(fā)展這種水平了。雖然他們對平面形的感覺能達(dá)到相當(dāng)準(zhǔn)確的水 準(zhǔn)，但他們沒有在智力和感情上進(jìn)一步努力去理解存有于空間的整個 形態(tài)。而雕塑家就必須做到這個點(diǎn)。他必須勤于想像并且利用形體在空 間中的完整性。能夠說，當(dāng)他想像一個物體時，不管其大小如何，他 腦子里得到的是一個立體的概念，就好像完全握在自己手心里一樣。 他的大腦能從物體周圍的各個角度勾畫出其復(fù)雜的形象，他看物體的 一邊時，便知道另一邊是個什么樣子。他把自身和物體重心、質(zhì)量、 重量融為一體。他能意識到物體的體積，那就是它的形狀有空氣中所 占的空間。所以，敏銳的雕塑觀賞者也必須學(xué)會把形體作為形體來感覺，不 要靠描述和印象去想
