My name is Bill. I don’t like travelling with a group (群) of people. One or two good friends are enough. Hmm, what do I like to do when I’m on holiday? A lot! I like to spend some time swimming in the sea, visiting museums and interesting shopping centres ... When I’m travelling, I always do things I don’t do at home. Maybe that’s why I’m always tired after the holiday.
I’m Susan. I like travelling. When I travel, I can get away from work and people. I like to go alone — no family, no friends, no office workers. I like warm weather during my holiday. When I’m on holiday, I don’t like looking at old buildings, or shopping, or going to the park ... I like lying on the beach, swimming in the sea or walking in mountains ... I just want to forget my work.?

Dear…
On my last holiday, I …Thank you! 假期旅游益处多
现代人生活节奏加快,竞争激烈,来自方方面面的压力不言而喻,容易造成人们精神疲倦,心情抑郁,对外面的世界容易产生一种厌倦、乏味甚至是消极的思想,这就是医学上所称的"心理疲劳症"。对于心理疲劳,必须积极采取措施,否则有可能引发为神经症。消除生活中导致不良情绪的恶性刺激,调整生活和工作的节奏,改变生活习惯和生活环境,自我化解和调适,可望缓解和消除心理疲劳,外出旅游,是让身心融入大自然的怀抱的一个好办法。
当您站在高山之巅,看看那九曲黄河汹涌澎湃的雄姿;当您乘坐长江巨轮,欣赏那长江两岸绮丽的风光;当您泛舟于洞庭湖上,来到杭州苏堤岸边,耳边响起苏杭乡土之音;当您来到青岛、烟台之滨,碧绿的海波荡漾无尽;当您走进敦煌石窟,面对几千年中国文明的记录,重温"丝路花雨"一幕幕动人的画面;还有四季如春的云南昆明,四川的九寨沟......,那雄伟的气势,那秀美的湖光山怡。一些心理学家认为心理疲劳是由于抑郁、精神压力太大所致,可以通过一定方式的活动"发泄"心中的郁闷。他们建议心理疲劳者可以到空气新鲜的公园、草地、旷野、树丛、山坡、海滩等地,尽情地大喊大叫,让心中忧虑、苦闷、焦虑、抑郁随吼声散在大自然,也许会起到意想不到的效果。
那些久居闹市,整天生活在人声鼎沸、机器轰鸣环境中的人,尤其需要到山清水秀,风景怡人的清静世界去,松弛一下过度紧张的神经,寄托精神,怡情养性。
卢浮宫镇馆之宝
维纳斯
维纳斯是罗马神话中的爱与美神,也是象征丰饶多产的女神。在古希腊神话中,称为阿佛洛狄忒。阿佛洛狄忒是爱与美的女神。罗马神话中称维纳斯。她掌管人类爱情、婚姻、生育以至一切动植物的生长繁殖。生于海中,以美丽著称。传说她在大海的泡沫中诞生,在三位时光女神和三位美惠女神的陪伴下,来到奥林匹斯山,众神被其美丽容貌所吸引,纷纷向她求爱。宙斯在遭其拒绝后,遂把她嫁给了丑陋而瘸腿的火神赫斐斯塔司,但她却爱上了战神阿瑞斯,并生下小爱神厄洛斯。后曾帮助特洛伊王子帕里斯拐走斯巴达国王墨涅拉俄的妻子、全希腊最美的女人海伦。引起希腊人远征特洛伊的十年战争。
《断臂维纳斯》已经是世界家喻户晓的青春美的女神雕像。大理石雕,高204厘米。相传是古希腊亚历山德罗斯于公元前150年至前50年雕刻的。其雕像于1820年2月发现于爱琴海的希腊米洛斯岛一座古墓遗址旁,是一尊手臂残缺的大理石雕塑。为半裸全身像,面容俊美,身材匀称,衣衫滑落至髋部,右臂残缺,仍展示出女性特有的曲线美,显得端庄而妩媚。法国重金收买后陈列在卢浮宫特辟的专门展室中,以其绝世魅力震动了世界,从此,“断臂维纳斯”就著称于世,成为爱与美的象征。
胜利女神
女神的形象表现出古典希腊女性的典型特征:椭圆的脸,笔直的鼻梁,丰满的前额,稍翘的嘴角,润滑的下巴。神情端庄、娴静、凝重,体形修长,左腿微曲,显露了曲线的起伏节奏。她丰满而圣洁,柔媚而单纯,优雅而高贵,充溢着青春与生命的意趣,这是灵与肉的完美统一,是爱与美的和谐圆融,是神与人的自然合一,构成了人体美的宇宙,是人类追求女性美的理想化标志。法国雕塑大师罗丹赞叹说:“这简直是真的肌肉,抚摸她可以感到体温的!”
胜利女神的头和手臂都已丢失,但仍被认为是古希腊雕塑的杰作,不论从哪个角度,观赏者都能看到和感受到胜利女神展翅欲飞的雄姿。她上身略向前倾,那健壮丰腴、姿态优美的身躯,高高飞扬的雄健而硕大的羽翼,都充分体现出了胜利者的雄姿和欢呼凯旋的激情。
蒙娜丽莎
加利福尼亚大学教授卡罗·佩德雷蒂认为,蒙娜丽莎身后的背景是意大利中部阿雷佐市布里阿诺桥附近的景色。佩德雷蒂的证据是,达·芬奇出生在距阿雷佐约100公里的芬奇镇,并曾经在阿雷佐生活过,这一地区的原始景观与《蒙娜丽莎》的背景几乎完全一样,因此,达·芬奇很有可能采用这一地区的田园景色作为《蒙娜丽莎》的背景。当佩德雷蒂的这一观点在达·芬奇绘画国际研讨会上宣布后,许多美术史专家都对他的研究结果表示肯定。
达·芬奇油画,77×53厘米。
蒙娜丽莎是一幅享有盛誉的肖像画杰作,它代表达芬奇的最高艺术成就,成功地塑造了资本主义上升时期一位城市有产阶级的妇女形象。画中人物坐姿优雅,笑容微妙,背景山水幽深茫茫,淋漓尽致地发挥了画家那奇特的烟雾状“空气透视”般的笔法。画家力图使人物的丰富内心感情和美丽的外形达到巧妙的结合,对于画像面容中眼角唇边等表露感情的关键部位,也特别着重掌握精确与含蓄的辩证关系,达到神韵之境,从而使蒙娜丽莎的微笑具有一种神秘莫测的千古奇韵,那如梦似的妩媚微笑,被不少美术史家称为“神秘的微笑”。
卢浮宫馆藏特色
卢浮宫是一个具有文艺复兴时期风格的金碧辉煌的王宫。从16世纪起,弗朗索瓦一世开始大规模的收藏各种艺术品,以后各代皇帝延续了这个传统,充实了卢浮宫的收藏。如今博物馆收藏的艺术品已达40万件,其中包括雕塑,绘画,美术工艺及古代东方,古代埃及和古希腊罗马等7个门类。其中最重要的镇宫三宝是世人皆知的:《米洛的维纳斯》,达芬奇的《蒙娜丽莎》和《萨莫特拉斯的胜利女神》。
迄今为止,卢浮宫已成为世界著名的艺术殿堂。卢浮宫正门入口处有一个透明金字塔建筑,它的设计者就是著名的美籍华人建筑师贝聿铭。
卢浮宫这个举世闻名的艺术宫殿始建于12世纪末,是当时法国王室的城堡,被充当为国库及档案馆。后来经过一系列的扩建和修缮逐渐成为一个具有文艺复兴时期风格的金碧辉煌的王宫。从16世纪起,弗朗索瓦一世开始大规模的收藏各种艺术品,以后各代皇帝延续了这个传统,充实了卢浮宫的收藏。1793年8月10日卢浮宫艺术馆正式对外开放,成为一个博物馆。如今博物馆收藏的艺术品已达40万件,其中包括雕塑,绘画,美术工艺及古代东方,古埃及和古希腊罗马等7个门类。1981年,法国政府这座精美的建筑进行了大规模的整修,从此卢浮宫成了专业博物馆。其艺术藏品种类之丰富,档次之高堪称世界一流。
巴黎塞纳河北岸的卢浮宫,庄重典雅。路易十四时代的昔日繁荣仿佛从未随岁月流逝而消退,那一百多根文艺复兴时代风格的立柱,骄傲地托起长长的走廊。自从1793年法国大革命后,这里从法国皇家收藏艺术珍宝的宝库,改为向公民开放的美术博物馆,从此来这里参观的艺术爱好者和普通民众络绎不绝。
1832年的一天,有位青年来到卢浮宫。他多半时光就是流连于艺术大师的绘画前。鲁本斯画面那激情洋溢的华美色调,委拉斯开兹笔下人物的高雅气度,戈雅用粗犷奔放的笔触涂抹出人体的美妙,都是他久久观摩的对象。连着六年,这个青年成为卢浮宫的常客。连门卫都已熟悉他飘逸的身影。二十五年后,在1863年,有两幅油画《草地上的午餐》和《奥林匹亚》引发了法兰西艺坛的广泛争议。画面上女性的裸体同样柔美,但竟然冷嘲似的流露出对传统艺术的反叛气息。那两幅画的作者,就是那个曾连续六年在卢浮宫观摩大师名作的青年马奈,如今他已成为敢于创新的画家。又过了十多年,马奈的那幅《奥林匹亚》,竟然也被作为珍藏品收入卢浮宫,公开陈列,供人欣赏。
卢浮宫就是这样,哺育出不少世界艺坛名家。当然更多的普通游客是把这里当做观赏世界艺术精品的殿堂。它占地面积三公顷,馆藏艺术品四十万余件,既包括从十六世纪法国国王法兰西斯一世就开始搜集的文艺复兴时期的绘画、雕塑等,也有拿破仑一世东征西伐时,从世界各地掠夺来的艺术珍品。如记载两河流域文明的雕塑“汉漠拉比法典”、古希腊时代的雕塑“胜利女神尼卡”等等。绘画中除了法国名家名画,还有意大利、荷兰、西班牙等国艺术大师的惊世名作,如达·芬奇的《蒙娜·丽莎》、拉斐尔的《花园中的圣母》、米开朗琪罗的《奴隶》等等。卢浮宫博物馆分为古代埃及、古代希腊、罗马、古代东方等六个部分。一些著名画派、画家的作品则设专门画室陈列。二战时期,纳粹德国入侵法国巴黎前,卢浮宫许多名作分散藏于法国民间各地,希特勒法西斯曾多次想寻找夺走,最终却一无所获。
1981年,法国实行了“大卢浮宫”计划,著名建筑设计师贝聿铭设计了一个玻璃金字塔作为卢浮宫的总入口,它与古典式的宫殿形成特殊的对比。每年来这里的游客达一百五十万。欧洲著名的艺术博物馆还有俄罗斯圣彼得堡的艾尔米塔日博物馆。
