抽象派艺术

After World War II, we were confronted with the question of how to use ink painting in our shattered homeland while the west was occupied with other things. Surrealist painters like Andre Lubu Lev and Salvatore Dali along with cubist and abstract painters Mondrian, Chagall and Lipchitz headed to America and replaced Paris as the center of the art world. European artists wandered the New York City streets except for Kandinsky due to his age. American contemporary artists like Alexander Calder and Willem De Kooning emerged, followed by the existentialists including Jackson Pollock and Barnett Newman.

二战结束后，在我们面对国破家亡琢磨水墨画还有什么用的时候，西方人也没闲着：纽约取代了巴黎成为世界艺术的中心，超现实主义画家包括安德烈·布列顿、达利等等集体来到纽约，除了70多岁的康定斯基行动不便之外，立体派、抽象派艺术家蒙德里安、夏加尔和利普希茨也都跑到了美国，纽约到处可见欧洲的艺术家在街上晃荡。

I'm strongly against the death penalty — it's an eye for an eye.

我不赞成死刑——这是以牙还牙的报复行为。

And to get you the support you need, we're enlisting all elements of our national power: our diplomacy and development, our economic might and our moral suasion, so that you and the rest of our military do not bear the burden of our security alone.

并给你们所须的支援，我们正徵召国家所有各种的力量：我们的外交及发展，我们的经济力量与道德劝说，所以你们与其他军人不须要孤独地负起国家安全的责任。
