Unit 4
1. Think "art". What comes to your mind Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings in the Palace Museum Or maybe, just maybe, it's a dancing pattern of lights
想到“藝術”，什么會浮現在你的腦海里？是盧浮宮里希臘或羅馬
的雕塑，或者是故宮博物院里的中國畫？或者也許，僅僅是也許，
是一片舞動的光影？
形式
2. The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colourful floating clouds when they are lit up at night. Visitors to one of her artworks in Vancouver could not only enjoy looking at it, they could also interact with it-- literally.
美國藝術家珍妮特 艾克曼的藝術品在夜晚被照亮時，就像是
色彩斑斕的浮云。游客參觀她在溫哥華的其中一件藝術品時，
不僅能欣賞它，還能與之互動，是真的互動。
adv. 根據字面意思
They did this by using their phones to change its colours and patterns. Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art
他們通過使用手機改變它的顏色和圖案來實現互動。這樣的展品
無疑是新穎的，也是令人興奮的，但它們真的是藝術品嗎？
3. Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts and ideas through art for thousands of years. To do this, they have used a variety of tools and technologies.
不管你怎么想，幾千年來人們一直在通過藝術表達它們的思想和
想法。為此，人們使用了各種各樣的工具和科技。
Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as "artists" rather than "technicians". This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things.
但米開朗基羅等人被稱為“藝術家”，而非“巧匠”，這意味著
藝術和科學一直都被視作是兩個截然不同的東西。
label sb./sth. as... 把某人/某物成為...
adj. 不相關的；分開的
4. Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly. Now art is more accessible to us than ever before.
然而，如今科技的進步使得藝術與之相融合。因此，藝術世界正在發生巨大的變化?，F在，我們比以往任何時候都能更容易接觸到藝術。
Take for example one of China's most famous paintings from the Song Dynasty, Along the River During the Qingming Festival. As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued up to six hours for a chance to see it.
以中國最著名的畫作之一宋朝的《清明上河圖》為例，因為這幅畫作很少展出，所以人們曾排上6小時的長隊去一睹其真容。
排隊
多達
Once in front of the painting, they only have limited time
to spend taking in its five metres of scenes along the Bian River in Bianjing. Thanks to technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of this painting.
當站在畫前的時候，人們只有有限的時間來欣賞這幅長5米，描繪汴京汴河兩岸場景的畫卷。不過，由于科技的發展，已有數百萬人得以欣賞這幅畫的數字版本。
Three-dimensional (3D) animation means that viewers can see the characters move around and interact with their surroundings. They can also watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime.
3D動畫意味著觀賞者可以看到畫中人物四處走動，與周圍的事物互動，還能看到白天到夜晚不同場景的變化。
5. The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of "art" and the "artist". Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation.
藝術與科技的融合也正在改變我們對于“藝術”和“藝術家”這兩個概念的理解。我們不僅能與藝術互動，還可參與藝術創作。
否定詞位于句首，句子需要部分倒裝。
With new technological tools at our fingertips, more and more people are exploring their creative sides. The result has been exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos.
通過觸手可及的新技術工具，越來越多的人在探索自己的創造力，數字繪畫、視頻等激動人心的新型藝術形成應運而生。
at one's fingertips 近在手邊
with復合結構：with+賓語+賓補
（adj./adv./介詞短語/to do/doing/done）
6. However, the increase in the amount and variety of art produced has also raised questions over its overall quality. Can a video of someone slicing a tomato played in slow motion really be called "art"
不過由此產生的藝術品數量和種類的增加也引起了（人們）對其整體質量的質疑。慢動作播放的某人切西紅柿的視頻真的能被稱為“藝術”嗎？
7. Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists' tools really call themselves an "artist"
同樣地，這樣的發展正讓藝術與科技之間的界限越發模糊。不熟悉傳統藝術工具的人可以自稱為“藝術家”嗎？
adj. 清晰的
And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it A recent project used technology and data in the same way that Rembrandt used his paints and brushes.
藝術家是藝術本身的創造者，還是藝術背后科技的創造者？最近的一個項目通過科技和數據手段，還原倫勃朗使用的顏料和畫筆的方式。
The end result, printed in 3D, was a new "RTembrandt painting" created 347 years after the artist's death. These advances are perhaps bringing us closer to a time when computers rather than humans create art.
最終，通過3D打印技術，在這位藝術家去世347年后，一幅全新的“倫勃朗畫作”誕生了。這些進步也許正讓我們更加接近一個由計算機而非人類創造藝術的時代。
8. Where technology will take art next is anyone's guess. But one thing is for sure -- with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.
當接下來科技將把藝術帶向何處，我們誰也說不準。但有一點是確定的--隨著如此多的藝術家探索新的可能，我們完全可以期待預料之外的成果。
