欧美文化博览 南西班牙:领略无限风情(1)

But there is another Spain.

但还有另一个西班牙。

Spain has produced some of the most startling and original art ever created, art that has been unfairly overshadowed by the rest of Europe, art that we know little about.

西班牙诞生了有史以来最令人吃惊及原汁原味的艺术,而我们知之甚少的这些艺术形式因为欧洲其他国家的艺术不公平而黯然失色。

The Spanish art is the art we need to know about, because it holds the key to understanding all of Europe and its culture.

我们需要了解西班牙艺术,因为它是理解所有的欧洲及其文化的关键。

It was in Spain on this empire that so many of Europe's great battles were played out, Christianity verses Islam, Catholic verses Protestant, fascist¹ verses socialist².

在西班牙这一帝国上演过欧洲许多伟大的争夺,基督教对伊斯兰教、天主教对新教，还有法西斯主义和社会主义的大碰撞。
