　　四、閱讀理解

　　Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything， and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original ways. It is， of course， true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting， the artist‘s failure concerns himself alone， but if it is a building， his failure concerns others too， because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen， but it is completely untrue to say， as some people do， that modern architecture is nothing.

　　We can‘t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time， even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically， the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works， but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials， he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.

　　參考譯文：

　　有些人討厭一切現(xiàn)代的東西。他們無法想象任何人都能真正喜歡現(xiàn)代音樂;他們發(fā)現(xiàn)很難接受服裝的新時(shí)尚;他們認(rèn)為所有現(xiàn)代繪畫都是丑陋的，而且他們很少對(duì)世界各地正在建造的新建筑有好感。這樣的人在任何事情上都追求完美，他們從過去開始追求完美。他們通常對(duì)任何敢于嘗試新事物或以材料原始方式表達(dá)自己或年齡的人不耐煩。當(dāng)然，許多藝術(shù)家在工作中沒有成功，反而創(chuàng)作出只能被視為失敗的作品。如果藝術(shù)作品是一幅畫，藝術(shù)家的失敗只涉及他自己，但如果它是一座建筑，他的失敗也與他人有關(guān)，因?yàn)樗赡芷茐恼麄€(gè)地方的美。這種情況有時(shí)會(huì)發(fā)生，但正如有些人所說的那樣，現(xiàn)代建筑一文不值是完全不真實(shí)的。

　　我們不能按古代的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來評(píng)判每一座現(xiàn)代建筑，即使我們欣賞古建筑。從技術(shù)上講，現(xiàn)代建筑更先進(jìn)。現(xiàn)代建筑師知道他應(yīng)該從古代的作品中學(xué)習(xí)，但是他擁有更多的知識(shí)和材料，他永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)滿足于模仿過去。他太驕傲了，不能那樣做。
