5 From the beginning of time, this inner aspect of our being, this drive that can be constructive or destructive, has captured our imagination. The stories of this amazing struggle have formed the basis of cultures the world over. Historians, architects, authors, philosophers and artists have captured the words, images and meanings of this inner struggle in the form of story, music, myth, painting, architecture, sculpture, landscape and traditions. These men and women developed artistic "languages" that help us understand these aspirations and also educate generations. This fertile body of work from ancient times, the very foundation of civilization, forms the basis of study of the humanities. 5 从一开始,人类这股可以是建设性也可以是毁灭性的内在驱动力,就令我们心驰神往。这些惊人的、充满内心挣扎的故事形成了世界文化的基础。历史学家、建筑师、作家、哲学家和艺术家们以故事、音乐、神话、绘画、建筑、雕刻、风景画和传统的形式,捕捉到了这些撞击心灵的文字、形象及内涵。这些男男创造出了具有艺术性的 “ 语言 ” ,帮助我们了解人类的这些强烈愿望,并用以教育一代又一代人。从古时起开始的这些充满想象的大量作品,正是文明的底蕴,它奠定了人文研究的基础。 A 课文的第五段生词 1. 建设性 的 2. 毁灭性的 3. 历史学家 4. 建筑师 5. 哲学家 6. 捕捉 7. 形象及内涵 8. 神话 9. 建筑 10. 雕刻 11. 风景画 12. 具有艺术性的 13. 强烈愿望 14. 充满想象的 15. 正是文明的底蕴 16. 奠定了人文研究的基础
