Ⅰ 2010考研英語2閱讀理解的翻譯
The longest bull run in a century of art-market history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, 「Beautiful Inside My Head Forever」, at Sotheby』 in London on September 15th 2008. All but two pieces sold, fetching more than £70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. It was a last victory. As the auctioneer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street, Lehman Brothers, filed for bankruptcy。
The world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising vertiginously since 2003. At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billion, reckons Clare McAndrew, founder of Arts Economics, a research firm—double the figure five years earlier. Since then it may have come down to $50 billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other instries。
In the weeks and months that followed Mr Hirst』s sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable, especially in New York, where the l-out of the banks coincided with the loss of thousands of jobs and the financial demise of many art-buying investors. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sector—for Chinese contemporary art—they were down by nearly 90% in the year to November 2008. Within weeks the world』s two biggest auction houses, Sotheby』s and Christie』s, had to pay out nearly $200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them。
The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying Impressionists at the end of 1989, a move that started the most serious contraction in the market since the Second World War. This time experts reckon that prices are about 40% down on their peak on average, though some have been far more volatile. But Edward Dolman, Christie』s chief executive, says: 「I』m pretty confident we』re at the bottom。」
What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market, whereas in the early 1990s, when interest rates were high, there was no demand even though many collectors wanted to sell. Christie』s revenues in the first half of 2009 were still higher than in the first half of 2006. Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell. The three Ds—death, debt and divorce—still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return。

我買的就是那本,是張劍和王軼群編的,星火出的,差的很,文章沒頭沒尾,可回能是王軼群編的,答張劍只是掛個名而已,看了有三十篇,感覺真的挺差,王軼群的評價是「考研沒有王軼群,考研復習不完整」,感覺真是厚臉皮,編的是很垃圾,不如買張劍的《150篇》,或者黃寶書吧 個人建議!僅供參考! 查看原帖>>
