1. 听写包答案:
In other cases, the pigment may have been weathered away while exposed to the elements
or someone may have rigorously cleaned the statues and unknowingly removed the last traces of pigment.
So, the fact is, we do have evidence of polychrome sculptures from Greece and Rome from the 7th century B.C.E. all the way through at least the third or fourth century C.E.
It’s now generally accepted that most, maybe even all marble sculptures from that time period, receive some kind of surface treatment,
like the application of pigments, colored stones or metals that would’ve modified their color.
So do we interpret the statue differently if we know it had originally been polychrome?
I feel strongly when it comes to this. A marble sculpture that had been colored has another layer of meaning that was meant to affect the viewer.
As art historians, we must try to interpret the intentions of the artists. What were the artists trying to achieve?
Certain feature of the sculpture were highlighted through color, were made to stand out.
In other words, they caused the viewer to focus on certain features.
And certain colors represented certain things to the ancient artists and cultures.
A color might symbolize heroism, divinity or youth.
One example to consider is the statue of Roman emperor Augustus.
在其他情况下,暴露在自然环境中时颜料也许风化了,
或者某个人也许非常仔细地清理了雕塑,并且无意识地清除了颜料最后的一丝痕迹。
所以事实是,我们确实有证据证明从公元前7世纪一直到至少公元3或4世纪的希腊罗马雕塑是有颜色的。
现在人们已经普遍接受了大部分,也许甚至所有那个时期的大理石雕塑都接受了某种表面处理,
比如涂抹颜料、用有色的石头或金属改变雕塑的颜色。
那么如果我们知道雕塑原本是有颜色的,那我们对它的解读会有所不同吗?
我对此强烈赞同。一座上过色的雕塑有着注定会影响欣赏者的另一层意义。
作为艺术史学家,我们必须努力解读艺术家的意图。这些艺术家想要获得什么?
雕塑的某些特征通过颜色会得到突出。
换句话说,它们会让欣赏者关注特定特征。
而且特定的颜色对古代艺术家和文化来说代表了特定的事物。
一种颜色也许代表了英雄主义、神或青春。
可以参考的一个例子就是罗马皇帝Augustus的雕塑。
2.阅读包答案:
由于我们对轻人所做的首要工作在于使他们能够在生活中彼此相融,因此我们不禁要考虑自己是否在形成让他们获得这种能力的为量。
3.写作包答案:
Do not dictate to your author,try to become him.Be his fellow-worker and accomplice.If you hang back,and reserve and criticize at first,you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read.But if you open your mind as widely as possible,then signs and hints of almost imperceptible fineness,from the twist and turn of the first sentences,will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other.
