“能够给社会留下具有持久价值东西的人是艺术家,而不是艺术评论家。”
The speaker asserts that it is the arts not critics attribute the success of the long lasting arts. I fundamentally disagree with this assertion for the attitude because of the attitude of the denial about critics. I think both arts and critics are playing significant roles on the development of the long lasting arts.
Admittedly, no one could deny the crucial role of the artists in the creation of the artistic works. As we know, the process of designing and producing an art require the high skill and unique idea of the creator. Take something for example, Cao , the famous writer all over the world, spend half of his life and all his possession to write the novel the Legend of Stone. Unfortunately, he died before finishing the writing. But the Legend of Stone makes a great effort to China, even the whole world. In the history of human, there are so many great artists share the same experience with Cao. Without them, the modern society could not enjoy the long lasting arts.
Ostensibly, artists create the work make it possible to have a “long lasting” effect in the civilization ultimately. In fact, critics also play paramount role in developing the artworks. Vencent van Gogh, the author of Sunflower and The Red Vineyard, had little success during his lifetime. After his suicide, the society began to realize the treasures he left due to the work of critics. So we can conclude that the comments of the critics provide the people with the opportunity to focus the attention on the further meaning of the artistic works.
Furthermore, the critics also contribute the development of the study in the realm of arts and help the artists to create a better works in the future achievement. Not only the common persons can learn how to appreciate the profound works of the arts but also the artists themselves also get the real reflect of their works. That is a significant way to help the young artists who do not have many experiences in the creation of the artistic works. Certain comments and efforts could improve the artistic works to become long lasting works.
In sum, I should conclude that both critics and artists are necessary in the creation of arts. Only the cooperation of them could achieve a long lasting artistic work.
提纲:
Issue 131 (15)
"The arts (painting, music, literature, etc.) reveal the otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of a society."
“艺术(绘画、音乐、文学等)可揭示出一个社会中那些原来深藏着的观念和冲动。”
1 基本同意此观点
2艺术确实可以反映出社会的观念和冲动,比如《廊桥遗梦》
3同样,政治和法律也可以揭示出社会中的观念和冲动
Issue 190 (14)
"As long as people in a society are hungry or out of work or lack the basic skills needed to survive, the use of public resources to support the arts is inappropriate—and, perhaps, even cruel—when one considers all the potential uses of such money."
“只要社会中有人还在忍饥挨饿,或失业,或缺乏存活所需的基本技能,那么,使用公共资源来支持艺术便是不恰当的,甚至可能是残忍的,尤其是当我们考虑到这些钱款所有的潜在用途时。”
1.明确不同意此观点
2.我们需要照顾那些挨饿,失业和缺乏生活基本技能的人
3.同时,人们的精神生活也很重要,缺少精神生活会使社会偏离轨道。例子:当代….
4.结论,物质文明和精神文明都很重要,两手抓,两手都要硬。
Issue 218 (26)
"In order for any work of art—whether film, literature, sculpture, or a song—to have merit, it must be understandable to most people."
“为了使一部分艺术作品——无论是电影、文学、雕塑,还是歌曲——具有价值,它必须能为大多数人所理解。”
1.艺术品作为人们重要的精神生活,应该为大多数人服务
2.但在有些艺术品刚刚问世的时候并不为世人所理解,梵高.
3.由于社会的飞速发展,人们在紧张的生活中容易忽视艺术修养的作用。
4.结论,我们需要艺术家创作出能够给社会留下具有持久价值东西,同时也需要能介绍艺术品给群众的评论家

“能够给社会留下具有持久价值东西的人是艺术家,而不是艺术评论家。”
The speaker asserts that it is the arts not critics attribute the success of the long lasting arts. I fundamentally disagree with this assertion for the attitude (可以省掉,跟后面有点重复) because of the attitude of the denial about critics. I think both arts and critics are playing significant roles on (是不是应该用in) the development (用creation是不是好些?) of the long lasting arts.
Admittedly, no one could deny the crucial role of the artists in the creation of the artistic works.(晕,看来我们参考的是同一篇文章) As we know, the process of designing and producing an art (artwork)requires the high skill and unique idea of the creator. Take something for example, Cao , the famous writer all over the world, spend half of his life and all his possession to write the novel the Legend of Stone(书名加引号把). Unfortunately, he died before finishing the writing(work 好些把,感觉writing好像是指书法). But the Legend of Stone makes a great effort(试想说产生深远影响吗?是effect把,直接用动词impact也可以) to China, even the whole world. (感觉前面两句话没有强烈的转折关系,其实可以说成although没有完成,还是造成深远影响,也简练一些)In the history of human, there are so many great artists share the same experience with Cao. Without them, the modern society could not enjoy(any) the long lasting arts.
Ostensibly, artists create the work make it possible to have a “long lasting” effect in the civilization ultimately. In fact, critics also play paramount role in developing (是不是想说发扬阿?我也已是想不起来了,有些宣传之类的相似词吧)the artworks. Vencent van Gogh, the author of Sunflower and The Red Vineyard, had little success during his lifetime. After his suicide, the society began to realize the treasures he left due to the work of critics. So we can conclude that the comments of the critics provide the people with the opportunity to focus the attention on the further meaning of the artistic works. (感觉一下得出这个结论太快了点,前面梵高的例子可以在说一下什么人们先没有认识到作品的深层含义,经过评论家的指点就茅塞顿开之类,不过想问一下梵高的作品真的是由评论家发现他的价值的吗?嗬嗬,我是什么都不懂啦)
Furthermore, the critics also contribute the development of the study in the realm of arts and help the artists to create a better works in the future achievement. Not only the common persons can learn how to appreciate the profound works of the arts but also the artists themselves also(can) get the real reflect of their works. That is a significant way to help the young artists who do not have many experiences in the creation of the artistic works. Certain comments and efforts could improve the artistic works to become long lasting works.
In sum, I should conclude that both critics and artists are necessary in the creation of arts. Only the cooperation of them could achieve a long lasting artistic work. (结尾有点物力,可以把前面稍微总结一些,再说最后一句结论)
