Unit 7 -Lesson 1 Masterpieces
The Starry Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a home for the mentally ill. Van Gogh painted what he saw from his window—the night sky with clouds, stars and a moon. However, he didn’t just paint the clouds. He also painted the massive circles of white and yellow racing across the sky. The stars and the moon hang bright in the night sky. Beneath this amazing sky, we see a sleeping village and a dark, lonely tree.
《星空》是文森特·凡·高（Vincent van Gogh）于1889年6月在一家精神病院里创作的。凡·高画了他看到的窗外景象——有云、星星和月亮的夜空。然而，除了云之外，他还在天空中画了相互追逐的巨大白和黄光圈。星星和月亮在夜空中熠熠生辉。在这片神奇的夜空下，我们看到了一个沉睡的村庄和一棵黑暗孤独的树。

凡·高对彩的应用很不寻常，专家们认为精神疾病可能影响了他的视力。他还服用过一种药物，可以让人看到黄斑点，就像《星空》中的星星那样。
Unfortunately, Van Gogh’s unique paintings weren’t very popular and he only sold one painting in his lifetime. He also thought The Starry Night was a failure. However, the fact remains that The Starry Night is now one of the world’s most famous paintings.
不幸的是，凡·高独特的画作在当时并不是很受欢迎，他有生之年只卖出了一幅画。他还认为《星空》是一幅失败的作品，而现在《星空》是世界最著名的画作之一。
The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893. What makes it striking is that it shows a thin figure with an expression of fear—the figure’s mouth is wide open and letting out a powerful scream. The figure covers his or her ears and looks directly at the viewer. This figure is set on a bridge above a dark, stormy sea, and against a burning orange-red sky.
《呐喊》是爱德华·蒙克（Edvard Munch）于1893年创作的。这幅画富有冲击力，画中有一个表情恐惧的瘦弱身影——嘴巴大张，正发出强烈的尖叫声。这个人捂住了自己的耳朵，直直地看向观众。人物被设置在一座桥上，桥下是漆黑的、翻滚的海面，背景是燃烧的橙红天空。
In his diary, Munch talked about what inspired him. “I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly the sky turned as red I stood there shaking. Then I heard the scream of nature.”
蒙克在他的日记中谈到了灵感的来源，“太阳落山时，我和两个朋友一起顺着路走，天空突然变得像血一样红……我站在那里颤抖着，然后听到了大自然的尖叫声。”
Many experts say that The Scream is connected to Munch’s mental health problems, which caused him a lot of pain.
许多专家说，《呐喊》与给蒙克带来巨大痛苦的心理健康问题有关。
The Empire of Light is a series of paintings by Belgian artist René Magritte. Between 1953
and 1954, he painted the same scene 27 times. It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside, surrounded by the darkness of night. What is strange is that above the house and the tree, we see a daytime sky full of brightness and soft white clouds. It seems like quite a mysterious scene.
《灯之王国》是比利时画家勒内·马格利特（Rene Magritte）的一系列绘画作品。1953年至1954年间，同样的场景他画了27次。画中有一座美丽的房子，房子里充满了灯光，外面被夜晚的黑暗包围。奇怪的是，在房子和树木之上，我们看到明亮的天空和柔软的白云。这个场景看起来非常奇异。
Magritte was a painter inspired by his thoughts and ideas. His paintings were visual experiments as he tried to play with reality. His view was that art should shock the viewers and challenge their sense of reality.
马格利特的灵感来自于个人的思想和想法。他尝试戏谑现实，他的画作是一个个视觉实验。他认为艺术应该震撼观众并挑战他们对现实的观感。
The Empire of Light has produced different reactions in viewers. Some feel that the paintings look dark and troubling. Others, however, find them calming. As for Magritte himself, he thought that the change between day and night in the paintings was surprising. “I call this power poetry,” he said.
观众对《灯之王国》的反应不同。有些人觉得这些画看起来很黑暗，令人不安。而有些人则觉得这些画让人感到平静。马格利特本人认为画作中白天和黑夜之间的变化令人惊讶。他说：“我称之为诗意的力量。”
A Musical Genius
音乐天才
Everyone knows that Ludwig van Beethoven is a musical genius but few might know how he created Symphony No.9 in D minor and how its first show went.
大家都知道路德维希·凡·贝多芬（Ludwig van Beethoven）是一个音乐天才，但或许很少有人知道D小调第九交响曲的创作过程以及这部交响曲首演的故事。
Ludwig van Beethoven was a German composer. He is regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history of music. In his twenties, he had been very famous for his skills on the piano, but then he began to lose his hearing. Beethoven thought about giving up, but in the end he continued to write music. Inspired by his struggles with deafness, the composer produced some amazing pieces, including nine symphonies, five piano pieces, and an opera! He proceeded with the composition until his death in 1827, writing more than 130 musical works, including his Symphony No.9 in D minor.
