的尴尬局面。
针对上述译文出现的问题，闻道英语认为中文有必要稍作调整，毕竟读者 是为了提升英文能力，而不是想通过新概念来练习中文写作嘛！
Lesson 18. Electric currents in modern art
Paragraph 1： 1、现代雕塑不再使我们感到惊讶了。 Modern sculpture rarely surprises us any more. 2、那种认为现代艺术只能在博物馆里才能看到的观点是错误的。 The idea that modern art can only be seen in a museum is mistaken. 3、即使是对艺术不感兴趣的人也不会没有注意到在公共场所展示的现代艺术 品。 Even people who take no interest in modern art cannot fail to notice examples of modern sculpture on display in public places.
