旁白：来听艺术史课讲座的一部分。

Narrator: Listen to part of a lecture from an Art History class.

教授：上节课我们讲了一些关于摄影的历史。

Professor: So last class we were talking a bit about the history of photography.

在19世纪中后期，随着照相机的发明，

with the invention of the camera in the mid-to-late 1800s,

这是人们第一次能够记录真实的图像。

for the first time people were able to record realistic images.

在那之前，绘画，嗯……肖像，风景是真实的图像被记录下来的方式，

Up until then, painting, um... portraits, landscapes were the way that realistic images were recorded,

the image of a person's face, the painting of a mountain range.

现在有了这个新技术，这台机器拍摄了真实的图像。

now there was this new piece of technology, this machine that took realistic images.

And this had an enormous effect on painting.

一种效果是画家开始将照片作为工具，

One effect was that painters began using photographs as a tool,

一种帮助他们更加逼真的作画的工具

a tool to help them paint more realistically.

在镜头前，要逼真地描绘出一幅画中的移动物体是极其困难的。

Before the camera, it was extremely difficult to realistically depict a moving object in a painting.

但现在，摄影能够捕捉转瞬即逝的瞬间，并将它们冻结。

But now photography was able to capture fleeting moments, freeze them in time.

画家们可以用这些照片作为他们绘画的基础。

And painters were able to use these photographs as a basis for their paintings.

举个例子，一匹骏马在奔跑时的腿。

For example, the legs of a horse as it's running.

摄影现在可以捕捉到马腿在半空中的准确位置，

Photography could now capture the exact position of a horse's legs in mid air,

画家可以更实际地创作一幅马奔腾的图画。

which a painter could use to more realistically create a painting of horses galloping.

摄影也以一种更概念化的方式影响了绘画。

Photography also affected painting in a more conceptual way.

事实上，照相机现在可以完美地记录真实的图像，这使得一些画家改变了他们的风格，

The fact that cameras could now perfectly record realistic images led some painters to change their style,

停止写实绘画，采用一种更抽象的绘画方式。

to stop painting realistically and adopt a more abstract way of painting.

一种抽象的风格使画家能够将他们的艺术与摄影相比较，

An abstract style enabled painters to contrast their art with photography,

把他们的艺术与摄影艺术区分开来。

to set their art apart from the art of photography.

他们不希望自己的画看起来像照片。

They didn't want their paintings to look anything like photographs.

他们希望他们的艺术更有想象力，更抽象。

They wanted their art to be more imaginative, more abstract.

举个例子，如果一个画家在画人，

For example, if a painter were painting people,

他或她可能不会用天然肤色来画皮肤，

he or she might not use natural skin tones for the skin,

相反，把人们的皮肤涂成非自然的颜色，比如绿色，紫色或蓝色，

and instead paint the people's skin unnatural colors like green, purple or blue,
