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.
美是一種令人愉悅的感覺;丑惡是它的反義詞,而樸素是介于兩者之間的一種中性狀態(tài)。美是一種主觀的導(dǎo)向,也可能是客觀因素的產(chǎn)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.
美的客觀定義的概念經(jīng)常受到挑戰(zhàn),但在大多數(shù)情況下,存在足夠的客觀因素,導(dǎo)致許多人同意一個人、一個地方或一件事是美的??梢源_定的元素,如果改變,將減少一個對象的美麗;或者它們的復(fù)制會使不同的物體變得同樣美麗
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.
美可以通過任何物理感覺(如視覺、聽覺或嗅覺),或在某些感官的組合中,甚至在抽象的事物當(dāng)中,如當(dāng)一個人的個性或一件事物的功能被說成是使它們美麗的時候,都可以發(fā)現(xiàn)美。
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.
美感也可來自以優(yōu)雅和愉悅的方式使用語言。假設(shè)這不僅是人類的語言,還有數(shù)學(xué),音樂,繪畫,烹飪,舞蹈,事實上大部分人類的努力都是隨著時間推移而發(fā)展的語言,使用這種語言就能讓人對美麗產(chǎn)生感知。普遍的人類主題表達(dá)得如此之好,以致于即使是那些語言不流利的人也能欣賞它。因此,一首優(yōu)美的外語詩,即使不為人所理解,也會因其韻律和抒情而被欣賞。
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.
在幾乎所有的情況下,對語言的更深入的理解會帶來美的擴(kuò)展。了解這首詩的語言可以讓它的故事展開。了解詩歌的規(guī)則可以讓我們欣賞這些規(guī)則是如何被遵守的,又是如何被違抗的。熟悉所描述的經(jīng)歷可以讓隱喻觸動心靈,了解不常見的引用可以加深理解。
Overexposure to a beautiful object of 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
過度暴露在一個美的物體面前,過度重復(fù)它所提取的特征,可能會讓人無法欣賞它,盡管有些特征(比如比例關(guān)系)似乎會持續(xù)存在。因此,美的概念會隨著時間而改變
Aspects of beauty are subject?tocommercializationdaiization and marketing, as well as fads.
美學(xué)的各個方面都受到商業(yè)化和營銷以及時尚的影響。美的語言可能會被社會精英所掌握,他們賦予的意義只有在某些人認(rèn)為美是如此主觀,無法作為一種共同的欣賞來討論時才能理解。
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.
這種共同的欣賞由于文化的影響而蒙上了一層陰影,需要用性別政治、階級或種族政治、一個群體的社會歷史、甚至生物學(xué)線索才能加以更好地解釋。因為它們是人類眾多方面的一部分,這些方言影響著美的語言,但它們并沒有定義它。
