People today typically associate beauty with something spectacular or the manifestation of an exceptional idea-as exemplified by the bold effects of French impressionist painting, the new Guggenheim Museum designed for Taiwan by architect Zaha Hadid, or the myth-inspired extravaganza at the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympics.
現代人的美，應該是明亮燦爛、別出心裁，像法國印象派繽紛的光影，像建築師扎哈哈蒂為台灣設計的「飛龍在天」古根漢美術館，又或者像雅典奧運開幕式那樣地聲光奪人、神話再現。
