Love of beauty is taste.
The creation of beauty is art.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生（Ralph Waldo Emerson，1803年5月25日—1882年4月27日），美国思想家、文学家、诗人，超验主义代表人物。代表作品有《论自助》《论超灵》《圆》《诗人》《经验》等。 爱默生被冠以“美国的文艺复兴领袖”之美誉。他的文艺思想建立在超验主义基础上，强调艺术的目的不在于模仿，而在创造，要依靠直觉来领悟自然的真谛。指出诗人凭自己独有的认识力，透过象征而进入对象的本质，接触永恒事实，可以从自然中观见思想，和上帝相契合，从而得到美。

1 Which period of Western art do you like most Why are you fond of it
2 How would you answer the question, “What is art ”
I like Modern Art most. There are many different styles with this period.
The paintings of Modern Art can mean different things to different people.
Art can take many forms. Sculptures, paintings, cinema films, writing and the human body can all be viewed as works of art. The price tag that is put on these items may not be relative to the amount of work that has gone into them, but rather to the originality that they present.

dimension n. 维；规模；范围
例句：The problem has a moral dimension. 这个问题有道德层面的意义。
①词性与单复数差异：dimension 作可数名词时，含义和用法会随单复数变化。
单数形式更侧重单一维度或层面，例如：
The project lacks a cultural dimension. 这个项目缺少文化层面的考量。
复数形式 dimensions 更常用，既可以表示空间的 “尺寸、维度”，例如 ：
The box has the dimensions of 20cm×15cm×10cm.
这个盒子的尺寸为 20 厘米 ×15 厘米 ×10 厘米。
复数形式 dimensions也可以表示事物的 “多个方面”，例如：
We need to analyze all dimensions of the problem.
我们需要分析这个问题的各个方面。
②不同语境的含义区分：
表示空间维度时，常用于数学、物理、设计领域，搭配固定，如 two dimensions（二维）、three dimensions（三维），且这类搭配前通常加定冠词 the 或者数词。
表示抽象层面时，多与形容词搭配，用来限定具体领域，如 moral dimension（道德层面）、economic dimension（经济层面），此时前面一般不加冠词。
表示物理量纲时，是理科专业术语，仅用于学术语境，例如：
Force has the dimensions of mass times acceleration.
力的量纲是质量乘以加速度。
③固定搭配的使用规范：
add a new dimension to 表示 “给…… 增添新视角 / 新层面”，to 是介词，后面必须接名词或动名词，例如：
Her experience adds a new dimension to the team's work.
她的经验为团队工作增添了新的维度。
in dimension(s) 表示 “在尺寸 / 维度上”，注意单复数根据语境调整，例如：
The two objects are similar in dimension. 这两个物体在尺寸上相似。
④易混淆词辨析
与 aspect 的区别：dimension 更强调事物 “深层次、较复杂的层面”，尤其侧重与其他层面相互关联的属性；aspect 泛指事物的 “任何一个方面”，使用范围更宽泛。
与 size 的区别：dimension 指物体的 “具体长宽高尺寸”，是精确的数值表述；size 侧重物体的 “大小规模”，是相对笼统的概念。
in particular 尤其；特别
例句：I like all fruits, in particular strawberries. 我喜欢所有水果，尤其是草莓。
句末：最常用，用于补充强调，例如：
I enjoy outdoor activities, hiking in particular.我喜欢户外活动，尤其是徒步。
句首：后接逗号，突出强调内容，语气更强，例如：
In particular, the plan needs financial support.
特别要指出的是，这个计划需要资金支持。
句中：插入名词短语后，起限定作用，例如：
The teacher praised the students, Tom in particular.
老师表扬了学生们，尤其是汤姆。
搭配注意：后接名词、代词或名词性短语，不直接接动词；若需接动词，需搭配介词。

事之后即可。例句：
The earthquake and the subsequent floods caused great damage.
地震以及随后的洪水造成了巨大损失。
consecutive：强调 “连续不断的”，指事物在时间或顺序上无间断。例句：
He won the championship for three consecutive years. 他连续三年获得冠军。
②subsequent vs. later

调查结束后，报告得以发布。
later：属于通用口语 / 书面用语，用法更灵活，可直接修饰时间或单独使用。例句：I will call you later. 我稍后给你打电话。
