什么是美?这个问题初看起来,十分简单。一朵花,一片晚霞,我们觉得美;一首诗,一曲音乐,我们认为美;穿的衣服,用的家具,我们周围所有的事物,我们都会用审美的眼光,来说它们美或者不美。正因为这样,所以我们习以为常,并不觉得美有什么难于理解的地方。但是,像恩格斯说的,当常识“一跨入广阔的研究领域,就会遇到最惊人的变化”。我们如果认真追问一下:究竟什么是美?我们却往往会瞠目结舌,不知所答。 What is beauty? At first glance, this question is very simple. A flower, a sunset, we feel beautiful; a poem, a music, we think beauty; clothes, furniture, all the things around us, we all use the aesthetic vision, the beauty of them or not nice. Because of this, we are accustomed to this and do not think that there is anything that the United States can hardly understand. However, as Engels said, when common sense “encounters the most astonishing change” into a broad area of ​​research. If we seriously ask: what is the beauty of the United States? We tend to be staggering, I do not know.
