BEAUTY
美
Beauty is a perceived slate of pleasing aesthetics; the opposite of ugliness, with plainness being a neutral condition in between. Beauty is a subjective determination, but also may be the product of objective factors.
美是一种令人愉悦的感觉;丑恶是它的反义词,而朴素是介于两者之间的一种中性状态。美是一种主观的导向,也可能是客观因素的产物。
The notion of an objective definition of beauty is often challenged, but in most cases sufficient objective elements exist to result in numerous individuals agreeing that a person, place, or thing is beautiful.Elements may be identified that, if changed, would reduce the beauty of an object; or their reproduction would render different objects similarly beautiful.
关于美的客观定义的概念经常受到挑战,但在大多数情况下,存在足够的客观因素,导致许多人同意一个人、一个地方或一件事物是美的。这些因素可以被识别,如果改变,将减少一个事物的美;或者如果再生将使不同的事物拥有同样的美。
Beauty may be found through any physical sense (such as visual auditory, or olfactory), or in some combination of senses, or even in abstractions, such as when the personality of an individual or the functionality of a thing is said to make them beautiful.
美可以通过身体感官感觉到(如视觉、听觉或嗅觉),或者是某些感官的组合,甚至在抽象的事物中,例如一个人的个性,或者一个事物的功能使他变得美丽。
Beauty may also result from the use of languages in an elegant and pleasing fashion. Assuming that not only human speech, but also mathematics, music, painting, cooking, dance, and indeed most human endeavors develop a language over time, use of that language can result in a perception of beauty.Universally human themes be expressed to such a degree that even those who are not fluent in the language can appreciate it. Thus, a beautiful poem in a foreign language may be appreciated for its rhythm and lyricism even though it is not understood.
美也可能来自于语言的优雅和愉悦地使用。假设不仅是人类的语言,数学、音乐、绘画、烹饪、舞蹈,以及大多数人类的努力确实会随着时间的推移而发展成一种语言,使用这种语言可以产生美感。普遍的人类主题已经被表达到这样一个程度,即使那些不精通语言的人也能欣赏它。因此,一首优美的外语诗,即使不为人所理解,也会因其韵律和抒情而被欣赏。
In almost all cases, greater understanding of the language is rewarded with the possibility of expanded beauty. Knowing the language of the poem allows its story to unfold. Knowing the rules of poetry allows appreciatjon of how the rules are followed and how they are defied.Familiarity with described experiences allows metaphors to touch the heart, and knowing uncommon references allows deeper understanding.
在几乎所有的情况下,对语言的更深入的理解会带来美的扩展。懂得这首诗的语言可以让它的故事展开。理解诗歌的规则可以让我们欣赏这些规则是如何被遵循和突破。熟悉所描述的经验可以让隐喻触动心灵,而了解不常见资料可以让我们更加深入的理解。
Overexposure to a beautiful object or over-repetition of its extracted traits may dull appreciation, though there appear to be some traits (such as proportional relationships)that endure. Consequently, notions of beauty can change over time.
对一个美丽的物体而言,过度暴露或对其提取出来的特征过度重复,可能会使欣赏变得枯燥,虽然似乎存在着一些持久的特征(如比例关系)。因此,美的概念会随着时间的推移而改变。
Aspects of beauty are subject tocommercializationdaiization and marketing, as well as fads. The language of beauty may be commandeered by social elites who assign meanings that are only accessible though some elite training or social achievement. Just as some argue that beauty is so subjective it cannot be discussed as a shared appreciation, others argue that shared appreciation is so clouded by cultural influences that it can be better explained in terms of sexual politics, or class or racial politics, or the social history of a group, or even biological cues. Because they are many aspects of being human, these dialects impact the language of beauty, but they do not define it.
美的各个方面都受到商业化、商品化、市场化以及时尚的影响。美的语言可能被社会精英所掌握,他们赋予的意义只有通过精英训练或社会成就才能获得。正如有些人认为美是如此主观,不能分享讨论,另一些人则认为美的分享受到文化环境如此大的影响,以至于可以从性政治,阶级或种族政治,或群体的社会历史,甚至是生物学的线索,来更好地解释。因为它们是人类的方方面面,这些方面影响着美的语言,却没有定义她。
