原文呈现
What inspires you?
Every artist's wish is to create something that expresses an idea.[1] But where do artists get their ideas from? Who or what inspires them? Here we find out more about the influences①behind the successes of three very different artists.
Florentijn Hofman，visual artist
Florentijn Hofman is a Dutch②artist，whose large sculptures are on display③all over the world.[2]One way for him to find inspiration is turning to④his children's
toys.These objects have given him ideas for his animal sculptures，such as the famous Rubber Duck⑤.A more recent work of his is the huge Floating Fish，which was set among the beautiful landscape of Wuzhen⑥West Scenic Zone.[3]
Hofman's inspiration for Floating Fish came from Chinese folk tales⑦passed down⑧through the generations⑨.He was particularly⑩interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate”．[4] This story came to life⑪ for Hofman when he visited Wuzhen and saw how people lived there.
“During the walk and my stay here in the town，I saw the fish being fed⑫ by people.You see also some fish sculpted⑬ on the wall.” These sights⑭set Hofman's idea for Floating Fish in motion⑮.
Tan Dun，composer
“There is no territory⑯ in the world of music.” These are the words of Chinese composer Tan Dun. He is most widely known for⑰composing music for the film Crouching Tiger，Hidden Dragon⑱ and the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
To listen to Tan's music is to experience⑲ a mix of Chinese musical traditions and Western influences⑳.Since his first opera，Nine Songs，Tan Dun has been using a combination㉑of Chinese music and sounds from all over the world to tell stories.As Tan once said，Chinese music should carry “universal expression” of the human spirit so as to㉒be recognised㉓by the whole world.
Yang Liping，dancer
Yang Liping's passion㉔is dancing.After winning a national competition in 1986 with her Spirit of the Peacock dance，she has been known as the “Peacock Princess ㉕”．The inspiration for her famous dances has come from the time she spent in Xishuangbanna㉖，Yunnan Province.[5]
“I feel very grateful for the years in Xishuangbanna，” says Yang，“It gave me a chance to go deeper into the lives of various㉗ethnic㉘groups...Our ethnic groups，especially the Dai people，admire㉙the peacock.They think the peacock represents ㉚the beauty of nature.I especially like the dance style of the Dai people and it gives
me lots of inspiration.My dance comes from their traditional belief and aims to bring out㉛the Dai women's beauty.”

是什么赋予你灵感？
每个艺术家的愿望都是创造出能表达一个想法的东西。

但是艺术家的想法是从哪里来的呢？是谁或是什么赋予他们灵感的？下面我们来进一步了解三位不同艺术家成功背后所受到的影响。

弗洛伦泰因·霍夫曼，视觉艺术家
弗洛伦泰因·霍夫曼是一位荷兰艺术家，他的大型雕塑作品在世界各地展出。

对他来说，找到灵感的一个方法是求助于他的孩子们的玩具。

这些东西给了他动物雕塑的灵感，比如著名的《橡皮鸭》。

他最近的作品是巨大的《浮鱼》，它位于乌镇西部风景区的美丽景观处。

霍夫曼创作《浮鱼》的灵感来源于世代相传的中国民间故事。

他对一条鱼跳过“龙门”的古老故事特别感兴趣。

当霍夫曼访问乌镇并看到那里的人们是如何生活的时候，这个故事对他来说变得更有趣了。

“在散步和我在镇上的旅店逗留期间，我看到人们在喂鱼。

你还可以看到墙上雕刻的一些鱼。

”这些景象使霍夫曼开始了《浮鱼》的构思。

谭盾，作曲家
“音乐没有疆域”，这是中国作曲家谭盾的话。

他最广为人知的是为电影《卧虎藏龙》和2008年北京奥运会作曲。

听谭盾的音乐就是体验中国的音乐传统与西方有影响的元素的结合。

谭盾自第一部歌剧《九歌》开始，就用中国音乐和世界各地的音乐风格来讲述故事。

正如谭盾所说，中国音乐应该承载着人类精神的“普遍表达”，才能得到全世界的认可。

杨丽萍，舞蹈演员
杨丽萍酷爱跳舞。

1986年以舞蹈《雀之灵》赢得全国大赛冠军后，她一直被称为“孔雀公主”。

她著名舞蹈的灵感来自她在云南西双版纳度过的时光。

“我非常感谢在西双版纳的岁月，”杨丽萍说，“这让我有机会更加深入到各个民族的生活中去……我们的民族，特别是傣族，都很仰慕孔雀。

他们认为孔雀
代表自然之美。

我特别喜欢傣族的舞蹈风格，它给了我很多灵感。

我的舞蹈源于他们的传统信仰，力求展现傣族妇女的美丽。

”。
