What strikes me as being physically real
其制作逼真到讓我震撼 是因為
is the fact that this is not a stylised piece of work at all.
這根本不是一件模式化的作品
It has physical immediacy.
它好像就要呼之欲出
Even though our jumper has lost his legs,
即使這位跳躍著的勇士失去了腿
his back is braced, his head is flung back.
他的后背繃緊 頭往后仰
And the bull, the bull is indeed a bull in full charge -
而這頭公牛也蓄勢待發
front and back legs tensed.
前后腿緊繃
The eyes, and you can actually see the eyes, are blazing,
看這雙眼睛 你可以看到目光炯炯
and the muzzle is snorting with dangerous foam.
并且它口鼻喘氣 帶著危險的白沫
Around the 15th century BCE,
大約在公元前十五世紀
Minoan culture was producing myriad
米諾斯文明制造了無數
tiny masterpieces.
小型的杰作
Seal stones to be pressed into soft wax
印石會被按入溫軟的蜂蠟
or worn as micro art.
或是當作隨身小飾品
Gold rings, sometimes decorated with goddesses
金戒指 有時刻繪著女神
or their priestesses,
或是她們的女祭司
bare-breasted, wasp-waisted with flaring skirts.
袒胸露乳 細腰如柳 裙擺飛揚
Minoan art was irresistibly attractive
米諾斯藝術對于
to a raw rising power
一股希臘土地上的新興力量來說
on the Greek mainland.
具有不可抵擋的吸引力
