癖好的

Then there was the intoxicating effect of the honours paid to the French Emperor in Dresden, and the negotiations too of the diplomatists, who were supposed by contemporaries to be guided by a genuine desire to secure peace, though they only inflamed the amour-propre of both sides; and millions upon millions of other causes, chiming in with the fated event and coincident with it.

而按各种原因偶合的法则，千百个细小原因与这次事件合在一起导致了这次进军和战争：对不遵从大陆体系的指责，奥尔登堡公爵，向普鲁士进军仅为通过进军达到和平，法国皇帝对战争的癖好和习惯正好与他的人民的愿望一致，以及他对准备工作宏大场面的迷恋，用于准备工作的开支，要求获取抵偿这些开支的利益、他在德累斯顿的令人陶醉的荣誉；当代人认为是诚心求和却只伤了双方自尊心的外交谈判，以及与现有事件相呼应，并同事件巧合的数以千万计的原因。

They lose themselves in the titillation of language and form; they are infatuated with fragmentary appropriations of the classics; they are infatuated with the emptiness of decline and the passion of desire. As with the Western artists Jan Saudek and Joel-Peter Witkin, 'real-world objects should give up any idea of entering my pictures,' unless they undergo restructuring—by the artist's own taste and proclivities, by an amalgam of memory and fantasy, by a tone of pensive irony, or by seemingly absurd but in fact accurate imagination, thus restructuring the individual's relation to reality. It does not hurt to call these artists' work realism, but it is a kind of 'psychological realism' which 'extracts a deeper level of genuineness from fictive objects.

他们迷恋于语言与形式的快感，迷恋于对文化经典的片断性挪用，迷恋于衰朽的虚无或色欲的激情，与简·索德克、乔·彼得·威金（Joel-Peter Witkin）那样的西方艺术家相似，"现实中的事物永远别想进入画面"，除非是经过了他们的重构——以其个人的趣味与癖好，以混合着追忆与幻想、伤感与反讽的语调，以看似荒诞其实准确的想象力，重构了个人与现实之间的关系，你也不妨将他们的作品称之为现实主义，但那是一种"心理现实主义"——"从虚构的事物之中抽取出更深层的真实。"
