　　1月31日是激發(fā)藝術(shù)靈感日。在這一天，你可以讓心靈享受一次特殊的盛宴，創(chuàng)造自己的藝術(shù)作品，去參觀美術(shù)館或是博物館，去搜尋藝術(shù)，并讓它成為你生命中的一部分。藝術(shù)是充滿靈感的，它可以改變?nèi)藗兛创澜绲慕嵌?。?shù)百年來(lái)，藝術(shù)改變了人們的心靈?；蛟S，觀看大師畫作或是一件偉大的雕塑品能夠讓你更具創(chuàng)造力。我們將能夠充滿想象力，創(chuàng)新力。不幸的是，當(dāng)人們從童年步入成年以后，人們不那么有創(chuàng)造力了。激發(fā)藝術(shù)靈感日或許將再次讓你的創(chuàng)造力蓬發(fā)。
　　There is so much art around us but many people take little notice of it. There is art in the architecture we work, live and play in. There are gardens full of statues and floral displays. We walk past graffiti onwalls and fail to see the art in it. We also see thousands of advertisements every day that have an artistic side to them. We don’t even have to step into a gallery. It’s everywhere. One of the best ways of exploring art is on the Internet. There are thousands of sites showing art and artists over thousands of years. There is little excuse for us not to find art. What we need to is to stop, look and think for a short time. If we do that, then we just might inspire our heart with art.
　　我們周圍到處是藝術(shù)，但是人們卻很少注意到。我們工作，居住或是娛樂(lè)的建筑大樓就是一件藝術(shù)品。花園中到處是雕像，花壇。我們經(jīng)常路過(guò)充滿涂鴉的墻面，但是卻沒(méi)有意識(shí)到這就是藝術(shù)。每天的成千上萬(wàn)的廣告中也有藝術(shù)的元素。藝術(shù)無(wú)處不在，我們甚至不用去美術(shù)館其中，欣賞藝術(shù)的最佳辦法之一就是通過(guò)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)欣賞藝術(shù)。網(wǎng)絡(luò)中有許多藝術(shù)和藝術(shù)家的網(wǎng)站，這些作品都有上千年的歷史。我們沒(méi)有理由不去發(fā)現(xiàn)藝術(shù)。我們需要時(shí)間去駐足，觀看，思考。之后，才能擁有藝術(shù)靈感。
