纪录片《文明》 第50期 自视如何（11）（在线收听）

It's deeply gendered and rigidly hierarchical,

它严格区分了性别和阶级

and it explicitly derides all those

它不讳地嘲笑那些

who have faces or bodies or habits that somehow don't fit -

不符合审美的脸庞 身体 习惯

from barbarous foreigners to the old and ugly,

从野蛮的外乡人到年老貌丑

the fat and the flabby.

体态肥胖松弛的人

But, like it or not,

但不管怎么说

what we are seeing here are visual images

我们所看到的图案

constructing one idea of a civilised human being.

传达出了一种文明人的理念

Of course, the human body can do many different things

当然 人类身体能做很多事

and so can its images.

形体图案也能

And the Athenians exploited that range,

雅典人探寻了形体的界限

creating other bodies for very different purposes.

为不同目的塑造不同形体

This is one of the most gorgeous memorial statues

这是古希腊能找到的

ever to have been found in ancient Greece.

最华丽的纪念雕像之一

Her name is Phrasikleia

她叫佛雷斯科莱

and that means something like "aware of her own renown".

意思是"意识到自己的名声"

Phrasikleia was carved in marble around 550 BC,

佛雷斯科莱约在公元前550年由大理石刻成

and was only rediscovered in 1972.

到1972年才被发现

She has a wonderfully patterned dress,

她穿着一条图案精美的裙子

clothed for eternity in her finest.

在最美的年纪变成了永恒
