12、 Here we find out more about the influences behind the successes of three very different artists.

13、bjects have given him ideas for his animal sculptures,such as the famous Rubber Duck .A more recent work of his is the huge Floating Fish,which was set 5 among the beautiful landscape of Wuzhen West Scenic Zone.3 Hofmans inspiration for Floating Fish came from Chinese folk tales passed down through
14、the generations.He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate”4 This story came to life for Hofman when he visited Wuzhen and saw how people lived there. “During the walk and my stay here in the town,I saw the fish being fed by people.You see also some
15、 fish sculpted on the wall.” These sights set Hofmans idea for Floating Fish in motion.

16、Beijing Olympics.

20、或是什么赋予他们灵感的?下面我们来进一步了解三位不 同艺术家成功背后所受到的影响。 弗洛伦泰因 霍夫曼,视觉艺术家 弗洛伦泰因 霍夫曼是一位荷兰艺术家, 他的大型雕塑作品在世界各地展出。 对他来说,找到灵感的一个方法是求助于他的孩子们的玩具。这些东西给了他动 物雕塑的灵感,比如著名的橡皮鸭 。他最近的作品是巨大的浮鱼 ,它位于 乌镇西部风景区的美丽景观处。 霍夫曼创作浮鱼的灵感来源于世代相传的中国民间故事。他对一条鱼跳 过“龙门”的古老故事特别感兴趣。 当霍夫曼访问乌镇并看到那里的人们是如何 生活的时候,这个故事对他来说变得更有趣了。 “在散步和我在镇上的旅店逗留期间,我看到人们在喂鱼。你还可
21、以看到墙 上雕刻的一些鱼。”这些景象使霍夫曼开始了浮鱼的构思。 谭盾,作曲家 “音乐没有疆域”, 这是中国作曲家谭盾的话。 他最广为人知的是为电影 卧 虎藏龙和 2008 年北京奥运会作曲。 听谭盾的音乐就是体验中国的音乐传统与西方有影响的元素的结合。 谭盾自 第一部歌剧九歌开始,就用中国音乐和世界各地的音乐风格来讲述故事。正 如谭盾所说,中国音乐应该承载着人类精神的“普遍表达”,才能得到全世界的 认可。 杨丽萍,舞蹈演员 杨丽萍酷爱跳舞。1986 年以舞蹈雀之灵赢得全国大赛冠军后,她一直 被称为“孔雀公主”。她著名舞蹈的灵感来自她在云南西双版纳度过的时光。 “我非常感谢在西双版纳的岁月,”杨丽萍说,“这让我有机会更加深入到 各个民族的生活中去我们的民族,特别是傣族,都很仰慕孔雀。他们认为孔 雀代表自然之美。我特别喜欢傣族的舞蹈风格,它给了我很多灵感。我的舞蹈源 于他们的传统信仰,力求展现傣族妇女的美丽。”
