2018年托�？谡Z考試題庫：藝術(shù)的目的是引導生活嗎

　　Art is the magic mirror that we create to turn invisible dreams into visible pictures. We use a mirror to see our faces. We use artwork to see our soul. Art is one of the most participative, dynamic and social forms of human behavior. It has the capacity to trigger reflection, generate empathy, create dialogue and foster new ideas and relationships. It offers a powerful and democratic way of expressing, sharing and shaping values. Art can help us build new capabilities and allows us to explore different ways of being and relating. Through art we can design useful and meaningful things, as art has increasingly become the basis of livelihoods and enterprises that are motivated by much more than profit. Art shapes the way we look at and understand the world. It forms the mental structures that order our ideas. It is the frame through which we construct the stories that we tell ourselves and others.

　　藝術(shù)是我們創(chuàng)造的鏡子，在可見的圖畫中轉(zhuǎn)動看不見的夢。為了看到我們，我們使用鏡像，我們用它來觀察我們的靈魂。藝術(shù)的核心實踐是人類行為中最具參與性、動態(tài)性和社會性的形式之一。它有能力引發(fā)思考，產(chǎn)生共鳴，創(chuàng)造對話，培養(yǎng)新的思想和關(guān)系，并提供一種強大和民主的表達、分享和塑造價值的方式。藝術(shù)可以幫助我們建立新的能力，了解如何想象和排練一種不同的存在和聯(lián)系方式。它可以使我們設(shè)計有用和有意義的東西，并越來越多地成為生計和企業(yè)的基礎(chǔ)，他們的動機不僅僅是利潤。藝術(shù)塑造了我們看待世界和理解世界的方式和思維方式。它們是我們構(gòu)建故事的框架，通過它我們可以告訴自己和他人什么是重要的。

　　The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls. – Pablo Piccasso

　　Art is a great status symbol in modern society and because of that it can be quite intimidating to the casual viewer. For many the first impulse is to blow it off, to see it as a worthless play thing for the rich and boring. This is too bad, not only because art can be a great source of pleasure in our lives, but because even a passing acquaintance with art can enrich and deepen our understanding of the world around us. Art lead us to a rich, meaningful and engaged life that goes well beyond job titles and salary levels.A lot of what artists do is tell stories. They help us make sense of our world, and they broaden our experience and understanding. The arts enable us to imagine the unimaginable, and to connect us to the past, the present, and the future, sometimes simultaneously.

　　藝術(shù)是現(xiàn)代社會的良好社會地位象征，也因為此，尋常百姓有時會對藝術(shù)望而生怯，甚至覺得它只是權(quán)貴或悠閑之人的玩物，這樣的想法真的太糟了，藝術(shù)不僅可以成為我們生活中快樂的來源，也可以加深我們對世界的認知和理解。藝術(shù)引領(lǐng)我們的人生變得更富裕，更有意義，更有參與感，超越尋常職位頭銜和工資待遇。很多藝術(shù)家在竭力透過藝術(shù)形態(tài)去講故事，他們幫我們讓世界看上去更有意義，開闊我們的閱歷和見解，藝術(shù)讓我們敢于想象一切不敢想象的，并把過去、現(xiàn)在、未來同時聯(lián)系起來。

　　Personally, i agree with the statement that the purpose of art is to guide our life. Though art is not designed only for guide our life. To some extent art change the way we see the world . The outlook of our life is altered by ideas we read in the books, the portrayal of people in films , the style we see in fashion photography. Actually, art is an effort to create a more human entity . It represents things of beauty and elegance .whats more , the art of human is a truly mirror of human , people will imitate the way art presents . The object of art , is to crystallize human emotions into thought , and then fix it in a concrete form .
