Strange forms stand in gardens, and outside buildings and shops.奇形怪状的雕塑矗立在花园里、建筑物和商店外面。

In spite of this, some people--including myself--were surprised by a recent exhibition of modern sculpture.尽管如此，包括我在内的一些人，还是被最近的一场现代雕塑展览所震撼。
The first thing I saw when I entered the art gallery was a notice which said: 'Do not touch the exhibits, some of them are dangerous!'当我走进艺术画廊时，首先看到的是一张告示，上面写着：“请勿触摸展品，其中一些具有危险性！”
The objects on display were pieces of moving sculpture.展出的作品都是动态雕塑。
Oddly shaped forms that are suspended from the ceiling and move in response to a gust of wind are quite familiar to everybody.那些形状奇特、悬挂在天花板上的物体，会随着一阵风吹动而移动——这种景象对每个人来说都十分熟悉。
These objects, however, were different.然而，这些物体有所不同。
Lined up against the wall, there were long thin wires attached to metal spheres.靠墙排列着一排排细长的金属丝，每根都连接着一个金属球。

In the centre of the hall, there were a number of tall structures which contained coloured lights.在大厅的中央，矗立着许多高大的结构，上面装有彩色的灯光。
These lights flickered continuously like traffic lights which have gone mad.这些灯光不停地闪烁，就像那些失控的交通信号灯一样。
Sparks were emitted from small black boxes and red lamps flashed on and off angrily.从小巧的黑色盒子中迸发出火花；红色的灯泡则愤怒地闪烁着。
It was rather like an exhibition of prehistoric electronic equipment.这有点像一场展示史前电子设备的展览。
These peculiar forms not only seemed designed to shock people emotionally, but to give them electric shocks as well!这些奇特的设计不仅旨在从情感上震撼人们，还似乎能够给他们带来电击般的刺激！
