比尔·奈伊 | 带你游览考陶尔德美术馆

When I'm in London there is one gallery that I find myself going back to again and again: The Courtauld Gallery.在伦敦，有一家美术馆一直让我流连忘返：考陶尔德美术馆。
This is an exquisite art collection housed in one of the most beautiful and peaceful buildings in the city. Lining these walls is an internationally famous collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works. Nothing quite prepares you for the experience of seeing them for real. Trust me, I'm an actor.这是一家精致的艺术收藏馆，坐落在这座城市最美丽、最宁静的建筑中。墙壁两侧是国际著名的印象派和后印象派作品收藏。没有什么比亲眼目睹这些作品更让人激动的了。相信我，我是个演员。
Paintings such as this, Manet's A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, which is one of the Gallery's highlights. Its boldness and defiance rocked the Parisian art establishment of the time. And it's just as captivating now.比如这幅马奈的《女神游乐场的酒吧》（又名《福利·贝热尔的吧台》），是美术馆的亮点之一。它的大胆和蔑视震撼了当时的巴黎艺术界。现在这幅画依旧引人入胜。
Walking through the galleries you feel that 19th century France is still alive here in the middle of London. Everywhere you look there are major works by Toulouse-Lautrec, Renoir, Seurat and Monet.穿行于美术馆，你会觉得19世纪的法国在伦敦市中心仍然生机盎然。放眼望去，到处都是亨利·德·图卢兹·罗特列克（法国画家）、雷诺阿（法国印象派画家）、修拉（法国画家）和莫奈（法国印象派画家）的重要作品。
You can sit with Degas in a box at the Paris Opera and watch two dancers rehearsing. And then saunter over to sit with a pair of labourers playing cards, as seen through the eyes of Cezanne. This is one of his finest accomplishments which continues to fascinate art lovers the world over.您可以和德加（法国印象派画家）一起坐在巴黎歌剧院的包厢里，观看两位舞者排练。您还可以漫步过去，与塞尚（法国画家）眼中正在玩牌的一对工人坐在一起。这是他最杰出的成就之一，至今仍吸引着全世界的艺术爱好者。
And then there's this piece which needs no introduction. One always assumes there are dozens of these self-portraits. In fact there are only two and this one is the most complex.还有这幅无需多言的作品（梵高的《包扎耳朵后的自画像》）。人们总以为这种自画像有几十幅。事实上只有两幅，而这幅是最复杂的。
And here is one of my personal favorites. I wish I owned this painting I want to wake up with this painting, if you'll excuse me. I'd like to live with it. I don't know why but it moves me tremendously.这是我个人最喜欢的德加的作品之一。我希望我拥有这幅画，如果可以我想和这幅画一起醒来。我想和它一起生活。不知道为什么，它深深地打动了我。
The Courtauld's collection encompasses paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture and decorative arts. It stretches from the early Renaissance all the way to 20th century works by Picasso, Modigliani and Frank Auerbach. But don't take my word for it, come and see for yourself.考陶尔德美术馆的收藏包括绘画、素描、版画、雕塑和装饰艺术。从文艺复兴早期一直延续到20世纪毕加索、莫迪利亚尼（意大利画家）和弗兰克·奥尔巴赫（英国画家）的作品。不过别全信我说的话，你可以亲自来参观。
The Courtauld Gallery can be found in Somerset House and is open every day.考陶尔德美术馆位于萨默塞特府，每天都会开放。
