You didn't sit around and talk about it at school or in the family or anything?

We didn't talk about it when we got American flags with Ku Klux Klan flyers attached to them on out mailbox.

我们没提起过我们曾在信箱里收到过 附着三K党传单的美国国旗

In A Subtlety -the term given to artistically fashioned confections brought to European aristocratic tables -

在《微妙》里 使用这个标题是因为富有艺术造型的糖膏 由奴工带到了欧洲贵族的台面上来

the bitter history of sweetness made by slave labour is embodied in a colossal sphinx-like figure sculpted from sugar paste.

这段由奴工造就的痛苦而又美妙的历史 都蕴含在一个巨大的用糖膏雕刻而成的好似狮身人面像的人物中

Surrounded by molasses-dripping little attendants.

四周围绕着有糖浆滴落的小侍从们

It was made in the empty shell of an old sugar factory and it is a great black and white anthem to every kind of ruin.

它建造于一座废弃的制糖厂 为所有形式的废墟献上了 一曲黑白颂歌

More recently, she's taken to making collages of drawings done in sumi ink, though the shades of grey are only technical, not moral.

不久前 她的形象出现在了用黑墨创作的拼贴画中 不过灰暗的颜色 是出于工艺原因 而不是精神主题

A recent show portrayed, in a vein of horror/comedy,the endless theatre of American violence,past and present.

最近的一场展览以恐怖喜剧的风格 描绘了从过去到现在美国上演的无休无止的暴力
