[00:15.80]Appreciation of sculpture
[00:19.15]depends upon the ability to respond to form in 3 dimensions.
[00:22.32]对雕塑的鉴赏力取决于对立体的反应能力.
[00:25.50]That is perhaps why sculpture
[00:29.13]has been described as the most difficult of all arts;
[00:32.00]雕塑被说成是所有艺术中最难的艺术,可能就是这个道理.
[00:34.87]certainly it is more difficult
[00:36.95]欣赏雕塑品当然
[00:39.03]than the arts which involve appreciation of flat forms,
[00:44.49]shape in only two dimensions.
[00:46.56]比欣赏两维的平面艺术品要难.
[00:48.64]Many more people are 'form-blind' than colour-blind.
[00:51.60]"形盲"的人数比"色盲"的人数要多得多.
[00:54.57]The child learning to see,first distinguishes only two-dimensional shape;
[00:58.25]正在学看东西的儿童起初只会分辨二维形态,
[01:01.94]it cannot judge distances,depths.
[01:04.46]不会判断距离和深度.
[01:06.98]Later,for its personal safety and practical needs,it has to develop

[01:14.06](partly by means of touch) the ability to judge roughly 3-dimensonal distances
[01:17.99](部分通过触觉)粗略判断三维空间距离的能力.
[01:21.92]But having satisfied the requirements of practical necessity,
[01:24.65]但是,大部分人在满足了实际需要后,
[01:27.38]most people go no further.
[01:29.21]就不再继续发展这种能力了.
[01:31.04]Though they may attain considerable accuracy in the perception of flat form,
[01:34.46]虽然他们对平面形的感觉能达到相当准确的程度,
[01:37.88]they do not make the further intellectual and emotional effort needed

[01:43.94]to comprehend form in its full spatial existence.
[01:46.72]去理解存在于空间的整个形态.
[01:49.51]This is what the sculptor must do.

[02:03.77]He gets the solid shape as it were,
[02:05.99]可以说,当他想象一个物体时,
[02:08.21]inside his head--he thinks of it,whatever its size,
[02:11.19]不管其大小,他脑子里得到的是一个立体概念
[02:14.16]as if he were holding it completely enclosed in the hollow of his hand.
[02:17.09]就好像完全握在自己手心里一样.
[02:20.02]He mentally visualizes a complex form from all round itself;
[02:23.33]他的大脑能从物体周围的各个角度勾画出其复杂的形象,
[02:26.65]he knows while he looks at one side what the other side is like
[02:29.52]他看物体的一边时,便知道另一边是个什么样子.
[02:32.40]he identifies himself with its centre of gravity,its mass,its weight;
[02:36.17]他把自身和物体重心、质量、重量融为一体.
[02:39.95]he realizes its volume as the space that the shape displaces in the air.
[02:43.63]他能意识到物体的体积,那就是它的形状在空气中所占的空间.
[02:47.31]And the sensitive observer of sculpture
[02:49.34]因此,敏锐的雕塑观赏者
[02:51.36]must also learn to feel shape simply as shape,

[02:56.72]not as description or reminiscence.
[02:59.10]不要靠描述和印象去感觉

[03:08.55]quite apart from its significance as food,
[03:10.62]而完全不靠它的食用意义
[03:12.68]or from the literary idea that it will become a bird.
[03:15.80]或它会变成鸟这样的文学概念来感觉.
[03:18.92]And so with solids such as a shell,
[03:21.44]对于其他实体,如贝壳,
[03:23.96]a nut,a plum,a pear,a tadpole,a mushroom,
[03:27.60]核桃,李子,梨子,蝌蚪,蘑菇,
