聊一聊畢加索和達(dá)芬奇的畫作，耶魯大學(xué)美術(shù)館里有什么藏品
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: Who is your favourite painter?
 
你最喜歡的畫家是誰？
 
B: My favorite painter is Picasso. He always expresses such a strong feeling in his abstract paintings.I always get a strange sense of excitement when I see his work.
 
是畢加索。他總是以抽象畫來表達(dá)強(qiáng)烈的情感。每次看到他的畫，我都有種異樣的感覺。
 
A: Frankly speaking，I don’t understand the point of his work. It’s just too abstract for me. I don’t actually like modem art. I prefer traditional paintings. Generally speaking, traditional work was more representational than modem work.
 
老實說，我不太明白他要表現(xiàn)什么。他的畫對我來說實在是太抽象了。我不太喜歡現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)，偏愛傳統(tǒng)的東西更多一些。一般來說，傳統(tǒng)法更富有表現(xiàn)性。
 
B: Renaissance paintings were always very detailed and delicate.Those painters certainly were skilled, but not as creative as Picasso. Since you like traditional paintings, what do you think about Leonardo Da Vinci? His most famous painting is the Portrait of the Mona Lisa in the Louvre.
 
文藝復(fù)興時期的油畫都非常注意細(xì)節(jié)，畫得非常精致。那些畫家的畫技相當(dāng)高超，但可能不如畢加索那么富有創(chuàng)作力。你喜歡傳統(tǒng)的東西，那么你覺得達(dá)芬奇的作品怎么樣？他最著名的作品就是那幅收藏在盧浮宮里的《蒙娜麗莎的微笑〉了。
 
A: I like his paintings. I think the shading and color are much more vivid. By the way, when you studied at Yale School of Art, did you always visit the art gallery?
 
我喜歡達(dá)芬奇的垂。我覺得明暗和顏色比抽象畫更生動。對了，你在耶魯大學(xué)藝術(shù)學(xué)院上學(xué)的時候，是不是經(jīng)常去參觀美術(shù)館啊？
 
B: Yes. I used to visit the Yale Center for British Art. The collection of paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, rare books, and manuscripts reflects the development of British art, life. Works on view include masterpieces by British artists, as well as major artists from Europe and America who lived and worked in Britain.
 
是啊，我過去常常參觀耶魯大學(xué)英國藝術(shù)中心。該中心收藏的畫作、雕塑、版畫、素描、珍貴書藉和手稿，反映了英國藝術(shù)和生活的發(fā)展。展出的作品包括英國藝術(shù)家以及來自歐洲和美國的在英國居住和工作的主要藝術(shù)家的名人。
 
A: I have ever visited the Centre. It is both a public art museum and a world-renowned research institute for the study of British art and culture.
 
我曾經(jīng)參觀過英國藝術(shù)中心。它旣是公共藝術(shù)博物館，又是研究英國藝術(shù)和文化的世界著名的研究機(jī)構(gòu)。
 
B: Right. It was presented to the University by Paul Mellon. He was graduated from Yale in 1929. It houses the most comprehensive collection of British art outside the United Kingdom. The Center is a valuable resource for faculty, students, and the public. It offers a year-round schedule of exhibitions and programs, including lectures, concerts, films, teacher workshops, and so on. The Center also houses a reference library, and study room for works on rare books and manuscripts.
 
對。該藝術(shù)中心是由保羅梅隆成立的。他1929年畢業(yè)于耶魯大學(xué)。英國藝術(shù)中心收藏了英國本土以外的最全面的英國藝術(shù)珍品。英國藝術(shù)中心為教師，學(xué)生和公眾提供了寶貴的資源，中心提供全年的展覽和節(jié)目，包括講座、音樂會、電影、教師工作室等等。中心還提供參考圖書館和為研究珍貴書籍和手稿的研究室。
 
A: I also want to visit the Yale University Art Gallery.
 
我也想?yún)⒂^耶魯大學(xué)美術(shù)館。
 
B: Oh. It was established in 1832. It is the oldest college art museum in the United States. It serves as an important teaching resource for Yale students and faculty. The Gallery offers free exhibitions, lectures, tours, symposiaC3 , and other public programs.
 
它建立于1832年，是美國最古老的大學(xué)藝術(shù)展覽館。它為耶魯大學(xué)的學(xué)生和教師提供重要的教學(xué)資源。美術(shù)館提供免費的展覽、講座、參觀、專題討論會和其他的公共項目。
 
A: What are the collections of the Art Gallery?
 
美術(shù)館里有什么藏品啊？
 
B: The collections of the Yale University Art Gallery include superb holdings in American painting and decorative arts; outstanding collections of Greek and Roman art; a celebrated group of early Italian paintings and modern art from numerous collections.
 
耶魯大學(xué)美術(shù)館館藏包括一流的美國繪畫和裝飾藝術(shù)、古希臘和羅馬藝術(shù)、早期著名的意大利繪畫和眾多現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)收藏。
 
A: In my opinion, the Art Gallery itself can also be called“art”.
 
以我看，耶魯大學(xué)美術(shù)館建筑本身就可以稱得上是藝術(shù)。
 
B: I agree with you. The Gallery’s main facility, designed by Louis Kahn, is a masterpiece of modem architecture and museum design. It has recently undergone a comprehensive renovation - in order to increase both exhibition space and teaching facilities.
 
我同意。美術(shù)館的主要設(shè)施由路易斯康設(shè)計，是現(xiàn)代建筑和博物館設(shè)計的杰作。它最近進(jìn)行了全面修整，用以增加展覽空間和教學(xué)設(shè)施。
 
A: There is another art exhibition next Saturday. Will you go there with me?
 
下周六還有一個藝術(shù)展，你和我一起去嗎？
 
B: OK. I’d love to.
 
好啊。我很樂意。
