Source text - Chinese 第一眼看到XXX的新作，強烈的色彩對比映入眼球。紀念碑式的圖騰形象，抽離扭曲的造型，都具有強烈的原始主義色彩。十九世紀西方的人類學者並未特別留意原始藝術的美感，只是把它當作是在粗糙技術下、落後的異文化產物或民族學標本，與自然史標本無異，代表著人類演化初始階段下的文化證物。而是要到二十世紀初1905年左右，巴黎的野獸派和立體派畫家們（Picasso, Matisse, Apollinaire）才突然「發現」了非洲、大洋洲面具與雕刻之「美」，因而驚艷不已。這個發現，不僅對整個世紀之西方現代藝術發展與風格影響甚鉅，甚至帶動了原始藝術的市場需求、藝術史方法的原始藝術研究，以及原始藝術圖錄的大量出版與銷售。尤其在第二次世界大戰後的那段時間，有些人更試圖將原始藝術的研究歸屬到藝術史學科範疇內。自此，原始藝術的「藝術」地位逐漸鞏固，其美學的價值也都受到了主流社會的肯定。
Translation - English The striking colour contrasts caught my eye when I first saw XXX’s new works.
There is strong primitivism in the totem images on monumental poles and the detached, deformed presentations. Anthropologists of the 19th century, who paid no particular heed to the beauty of primitive art, saw the images as a result of undeveloped, pagan culture or ethnological samples that are, like those of natural history, cultural evidence of human evolution at an early stage. Primitive art did not gain attention until around 1905, when Parisian fauvist and cubist painters, such as Picasso, Matisse and Apollinaire, discovered the beauty of African and Oceanic masks and sculptures with much amazement. The discovery not only exerted an enormous impact on the development and style of western modern art throughout the century, but also spurred market demand for primitive art, leading to mass publication and sales of primitive art catalogues as well as increased research on the history of primitive art. Some even attempted to subsume the research under the discipline of art history. All these contributed to a rise in status of primitive art whose aesthetic values came to be acknowledged by mainstream society.

Source text - English Throughout the middle ages, Venice expanded in power and influence in the Mediterranean, and found itself in an advantageous position to lend assistance to the leaders of the Fourth Crusade. Short of funds, the crusaders turned to Venice, agreeing to attack the capital of
Byzantium in exchange for warships. As a result, the once-powerful city fell in 1204, leaving it under the rule of Venice.
Politically, much of the known world was facing internal strife among its leaders. Venice, in contrast, enjoyed a uniquely ordered leadership headed by the doge. While the elected doge’s powers were defined by the Venetian constitution, real power was vested in the Council of Ten and the 2,000-plus members of the Grand Council, from whom the doge and his advisers were elected.
By the 16th century, Venice had colonized all of northeastern Italy and held a monopoly over Mediterranean trade. To sustain its military might, Venetian shipyards were turning out warships at an impressive rate of one per day. Power, however, brought war, as the Holy Roman Empire sacked the cities of the Veneto and the Turks drove Venice
from the eastern Mediterranean, eventually taking Cyprus in 1570.
Translation - Chinese 中古時期，威尼斯在地中海的影響力與日俱增，具備條件為第四次十字軍東征提供財政支援。經濟貧乏的十字軍向威尼斯求助，同意攻打拜占庭首都來換取軍艦。1204年，曾經叱咤風雲的拜占庭因而淪陷，終被威尼斯統治。
當時許多地方都出現政治內亂，威尼斯的總督卻以獨特有序的方式管理城市。威尼斯憲法定義總督權限，總督及其顧問在十人會及由二千多人組成的大議會的成員中選出，則坐擁實權。
到了十六世紀，整個意大利東北部都成為威尼斯的殖民地，威尼斯亦壟斷了地中海貿易。為了維持軍事力量，威尼斯船廠不斷生產戰艦，日產一艘，速度驚人。然而，權鬥卻帶來戰爭。神聖羅馬帝國侵吞了威尼托多個城市，土耳其人將威尼斯人趕離地中海東部，並於1570年佔領威尼斯管轄的塞浦路斯。
