5 May 2007 19:29 | | | Hi Maski
I don't think it is a second opening. To be honest, I don't know what it is. As for "vibrant" we don't usually use that to describe people - we usually use it to describe colours or something like that. | | |

MaskiNumber of messages: 326 | oh, it's describing people  i didn't get that I thought it was the description of the reception. Confusing text. Although i'm translating my book again so everything is confusing now... brain-damage. | | |

Remake? | | |
6 May 2007 15:57 | | | Stirred and thrilled is about the same as excited and emotionally moved. I think the problem is that they're almost the same concept, so it sounds funny in English to have them together.
As for remake, that's only for a movie.
But thanks for trying! | | |
8 May 2007 09:03 | | | How about "thrilled and emotional"?
Would "the entire art circle" sound better than "the entire art sphere"?
By the way, what is plastic artist? I tried googling, but couldn't turn up an appropriate translation for "artistes plasticiens". There isn't a English equivalence? From what I can guess (since I don't know French), it seems related to "installation artists". Perhaps we should ask Francky? | | |

8 May 2007 15:43 | | | 1) I don't think that is better. "Thrilled" seems too extreme to me.
2) When we talk about the arts, the word "sphere" is often used to mean all of the people involved in that particular branch of the arts. "Circle" would be more limited - maybe just those involved in the plastic arts at that university, for example.
3) I got 413,000 hits for "plastic arts", including the page Francky mentioned. But samanthalee is right, the hits for "plastic artist" seem to be only from non-English-speaking countries. I'm changing it to "plastic arts union". |
