My view is that museums should take a leaf out of the book of religions.
我覺得藝術館應該向宗教學習
And they should make sure that when you walk into a museum -- if I was a museum curator,
藝術館應該確保，當游客走進館內時候--如果我是館長
I would make a room for love, a room for generosity.
我會專門為愛，為慷慨而準備特定的展覽
All works of art are talking to us about things.
所有的藝術品都有相同的主題
And if we were able to arrange spaces where we could come across works
如果有更多的空間，我們可以更深刻地了解藝術品
where we would be told, use these works of art to cement these ideas in your mind, we would get a lot more out of art.
用這些藝術來讓美好的品德在腦海中變得更加深刻，我們會從藝術中學到更多
Art would pick up the duty that it used to have and that we've neglected because of certain mis-founded ideas.
藝術會讓我們重新肩負起曾經被摒棄的責任，那些因為誤導而被忽視的責任
Art should be one of the tools by which we improve our society.
藝術應該是一種工具，一種能讓社會進步的工具
Art should be didactic. Let's think of something else.
藝術也應該是教化的。現在想想另外的東西
The people in the modern world, in the secular world,
想想那些在現代世俗的人們
who are interested in matters of the spirit, in matters of the mind,
其中有些人熱衷追尋靈魂，喜歡崇高的思想
in higher soul-like concerns, tend to be isolated individuals.
也熱衷于深層次的靈性，那些人通常都是孤單的
They're poets, they're philosophers, they're photographers, they're filmmakers.
他們是詩人，哲學家，攝影師，或是電影制作人
And they tend to be on their own. They're our cottage industries. They are vulnerable, single people.
他們憑自己的力量生存下去。他們獨立完成工作，他們脆弱，孤單
And they get depressed and they get sad on their own. And they don't really change much.
沒人分擔他們的痛苦不安。然而他們不會做多少改變
Now think about religions, think about organized religions. What do organized religions do?
現在想想那些有組織的宗教。那些有組織的宗教干什么的呢
They group together, they form institutions. And that has all sorts of advantages. First of all, scale, might.
他們聚在一起，他們創造機構。這些都很有益處。第一，他們有規模和力量
The Catholic Church pulled in 97 billion dollars last year according to the Wall Street Journal.
據華爾街日報報道，天主教教堂去年籌了97億美元
These are massive machines. They're collaborative, they're branded, they're multinational, and they're highly disciplined.
這些都是有權有勢的機構。他們相互合作，有好名望，跨國，他們嚴謹紀律
These are all very good qualities.
那些都是很優秀的品質
