查询词典 tedium

"Up to the limit" is an art work about time. On the surface, this art work tests people's tolerance of extreme tedium of endless routine labor and unbearably apathic physical space where one can hardly stay long. But the concept of time emerges during the process of close references with the formation of the work; moreover, a hidden craziness opposite to the apathy of the work sharply stabs into the viewers' eyes and further thrusts into their hearts; and it is exactly during the process of watching, that time settles down and achieves its existence.

极限》则是一组以时间为题的作品，表面看作品是在考验一种无穷尽的忍受，一种冷漠无比的枯燥，一种不能存留的短暂的物理空间，一种样式化的不断重复的工作，时间之概念恰在这一系列与作品形成密切相关的制作当中浮现出来，并以一种与作品的冷漠完全相反的隐藏起来的疯狂，尖锐地插进观看者的双眸，并延伸到其内心，时间恰好在这观赏的过程中得以落实，而成为一种实存。

I'm only slightly ashamed to admit that I found myself hoping that the strike would shut the Academy Awards down; that for once, in a year of such cinematic bounty and variety, appreciation for the best movies could be liberated from the pomp and tedium of Hollywood spectacle. It's not that I'm against the spectacle as such. I'm hardly immune to the tears, and political speeches, or low-cut dresses. I even hum along with the overproduced, underwhelming renditions of the nominated songs. And I genuinely love the film industry's earnest tributes to its past: the lifetime achievement awards, the sentimental statuettes bestowed on venerated old-timers, the clips and stills of the recently departed.

我对那些眼泪、政治演说、或者低胸礼服几乎毫无抵抗力；我甚至会在歌手们演唱那些生产过剩、陈词滥调的提名歌曲之时跟着哼唱；而且我也全心全意地喜爱电影行业对自己过去的时光最为诚挚的献礼：终身成就奖、发放给崇敬老辈人们的伤感小雕像、还有那些刚刚逝去之人的画面和照片。
