爱思英语编者按:Your elusive creative genius
对于那些不可思议的伟大艺术作品,当代社会常将之归功于创作者本身,人们从而对艺术天才抱有超乎寻常的期望,伊丽莎白.吉尔伯特对这一点进行了探索和思考,提出了对于创造天才的独到观点:与其认为某个个人是“天才”,不如说他/她在创作中获得了“天才”的帮助。这一演讲生动有趣、充满个人色彩、令人感动而充满启发。 (翻译 Sophielihui ., 审译 Shivani Sun)
Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses — and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person being a genius, all of us have a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.
