The Parthenon sculptures set out to present an Athenian universe made up of gods, heroes and mortals, woven together in complex scenes drawn from myth and daily life.
帕臺(tái)農(nóng)雕像表現(xiàn)了一個(gè)由神、英雄與凡人組成的雅典，日常生活與神話(huà)傳說(shuō)中的場(chǎng)景穿插在一起，
They are, I think, some of the most moving and uplifting sculptures ever made.
我認(rèn)為這是世上最動(dòng)人、最振奮人心的一組雕刻。
They've become so familiar, and have shaped so much of European thinking, that it's hard now to recover their original impact.
它們?cè)缫焉钊巳诵模瑯O大地塑造了歐洲人的思維，因此很難再去了解它們最初產(chǎn)生的影響。
But at the time of their making they were a quite new vision of what it meant, intellectually and physically, to be human and, indeed, Athenian.
但在制作之初，它們對(duì)人類(lèi)，尤其是對(duì)雅典人來(lái)說(shuō)，不管從生理上還是心理上，一定都是種全新的意義闡釋。
They're the first, and supreme, achievements of a new visual language.
它們是空前的新型視覺(jué)語(yǔ)言，是至高無(wú)上的成就。
Here's Olga Palagia, Professor of Classical Archaeology at the University of Athens:
雅典大學(xué)古典考古學(xué)教授奧爾加帕拉吉亞教授描述道：
"The idea of the new style was to create a new equilibrium between the human body, and the human movement and the garments.
這種新風(fēng)格是要在人物形體、動(dòng)作與服裝之間創(chuàng)造出新的平衡…
The effort was to achieve the perfect proportions of the human body which were not there before.
它創(chuàng)造了完美的人體比例。
The key word for the new classical style is harmony and balance
其關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)在于和諧與平衡。
that is why the sculptures of the Parthenon are so timeless, because the figures they created are indeed timeless."
這是帕臺(tái)農(nóng)雕像魅力永恒的原因，因?yàn)橛纱藙?chuàng)造出的人物形象確實(shí)是不朽的。
The sculptures were of course made at a very particular time and with a very particular purpose.
但事實(shí)上，雕像制作于一個(gè)特定的時(shí)期，目的也很明確。
The Parthenon was a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena Parthenos, meaning Athena the Virgin.
它們概括表現(xiàn)了當(dāng)時(shí)社會(huì)的自我認(rèn)知。帕臺(tái)農(nóng)是一座獻(xiàn)給雅典娜帕臺(tái)農(nóng)女神（意為雅典娜處女神）的神廟。
