旁白：听一段艺术欣赏课上的节选。

Narrator: Listen to part of a talk in an Art Appreciation class.

教授：为了让艺术交流，去吸引情感或智力，

Professor: In order for art to communicate, to appeal to the emotions or the intellect,

它必须结合各种视觉元素来表达意义或情感。

it has to combine various visual elements to express meaning or emotion.

正是作品的视觉部分，比如颜色、质地、形状、线条，

It's really the visual components of the work, things like color, texture, shape, lines,

以及这些元素如何作用在一起，传达给我们一些关于作品的事情。

and how these elements work together that tell us something about the work.

艺术家们结合和操纵这些视觉元素来表达信息或创造一种情绪。

Artists combine and manipulate these visual elements to express a message or to create a mood.

举个例子，想想画家是如何使用颜色的。

Think about how a painter might use color, for example.

你们都知道，不同的颜色对感官有不同的吸引力，可以传达不同的意思。

You all know from experience that different colors appeal in different ways to the senses and can convey different meanings.

艺术家选择特定的颜色来唤起一种特定的情绪，并做出强有力的陈述。

An artist chooses certain colors to evoke a particular mood and make powerful statements.

是一种强烈的颜色，能唤起强烈的情感，如极度的喜悦或兴奋，

is a strong color and can conjure up strong emotions, such as extreme joy or excitement,

蓝色的颜色倾向于给观众带来平静的效果。

Blue colors tend to have a calming effect on viewers.

另一个对艺术很重要的视觉元素是纹理。

Another visual element important to art is texture.

质地，我指的是它表面的质量或作品的感觉，

By texture, I mean the surface quality or feel of the work,

It can actually be touched by the fingers.

画家画出画的某些区域的方式可以创造出一种质感的错觉，

The way an artist paint certain areas of the painting can create the illusion of texture,

物体的平滑度、粗糙度或柔软度。

an object's smoothness or roughness or softness.

粗糙的质地能唤起强烈的情感和力量，

A rough texture can evoke stronger emotions and strength,

光滑的质地更能让人平静，更少情绪化。

while a smooth texture is more calming and less emotional.

艺术家经常结合元素来传达关于作品的信息。

artists often combine elements to convey a message about the work.

比如说，一幅画用了很多强烈的颜色，比如红色和橙色，

Take a painting that, say, uses a lot of strong colors like reds and oranges, and,

和暗示着粗糙的纹理宽的、弯曲的笔触。

wide, sweeping brush strokes that suggest a rough texture.

好，这些元素在一起能传达出一种更狂野、更混乱的情绪，

Well, these elements together can convey a wilder, more chaotic emotion in the viewer than,

比用微小的、平滑的笔触和柔和的或浅的颜色的一幅画能传递的更多。

more than in, say, a painting with tiny, smooth brush strokes and soft or pale colors.

艺术家利用这些视觉效果和他们唤起的感官来赋予他们的作品的意义。

Artists use these visual effects and the senses they arouse to give meaning to their work.
