||1: “Artists love new toys to work with,” Mr Berengo says. “What we have to do is make them think in glass.” ||2: The results can be seen in “Glasstress: White Light/White Heat”, an exhibition that is split between the Palazzo Franchetti and a converted studio space on Murano itself. It is a mixed bag. ||3: Some artists can indeed “think in glass”. ||4: Miroslaw Balka’s piece comprises a row of shutters, in wood or opaque glass, that exude a ghostly and ominous air. ||5: Francesco Gennari has gone for triangular minimalism and Gavin Turk has subverted tradition by blowing a larger-than-life glass exhaust pipe. ||6: Others, such as Tracey Emin, have not got the hang of it at all—unless her cat is an ironic comment on the kitsch glass animals found in shop windows off San Marco.

||1:“艺术家喜欢摆弄新玩意儿，”贝伦戈说。“我们的工作就是让艺术家站在玻璃的角度去思考。”||2:从艺术展“玻璃应力：白光/白热”中可以看到成果。此次展览由弗兰凯蒂宫和威尼斯穆拉诺岛贝伦哥玻璃工坊共同承揽，展品无所不包。||3:一些艺术家确实能“站在玻璃的角度思考。”||4:比如，米罗斯瓦夫·巴尔卡的作品。他的作品用木材和不透明玻璃制成，散发着一种幽灵般的神秘气息。||5:弗朗西斯科·真纳里的作品极简主义三角形。还有加文·特克，他用玻璃吹制了一个具有传奇色彩的排气管，颠覆了传统。||6:其他人，比如翠西·爱美，她也理解了其中的真谛，否则她关于猫的作品就是圣马可附近商店橱窗里那些工艺拙劣的玻璃动物的讽刺。

||1:The result is a lively mix of scholarship, reporting and polemic.||2:Its heart is a historical account of how smallholder farming, export-led manufacturing and financial repression took root in Asia’s miracle economies, such as Japan and Taiwan, but failed to bed down in the Philippines and Indonesia.||3:This is punctuated by travelogues, describing Asia’s landscape of economic triumph and tribulation, from the kitsch houses of rice farmers in Japan’s Niigata prefecture, who have great agricultural know-how but little architectural taste, to the unfinished towers of Jakarta’s Bank Alley, their growth stunted by the Asian financial crisis.

||1:最终，Studwell 把学术研究、调查报道以及书面论战生动地糅为一体。||2:在一些创造奇迹的亚洲经济体中（比如日本和台湾），小农耕作、由出口带动的制造业以及金融抑制政策是如何植根的？在菲律宾和印度尼西亚，同样的措施又为何没有形成气候？本书重点从历史角度论述了这些问题。||3:书中还穿插了一些游记见闻，描述了亚洲大地上经济繁荣或是衰颓的景象：Studwell 写到了日本新泻县稻农的简陋住所——这些农民有高超的农业技术，却不懂什么建筑美学；也写到了雅加达岸巷里尚未建成的塔楼——由于亚洲金融危机，这些塔楼迟迟未能完工。
