[3]turning to his children's toys为v.­ing短语作表语。

Hofman's inspiration for Floating Fish came from Chinese folk tales⑥ [4]passed down⑦ through the generations.He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate”．This story came to life⑧ for Hofman when he visited Wuzhen and saw how people lived there.

[4]此处为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰Chinese folk tales。

“During the walk and my stay here in the town，I [5]saw the fish being fed by people.You see also some fish sculpted on the wall.” These sights set Hofman's idea for Floating Fish in motion⑨.

界各地进行展出。他的灵感来源之一就是他孩子的玩具。这些物品带给他创作动物雕塑的灵感，如赫赫有名的《大黄鸭》。他最近的作品是巨大的《浮鱼》，陈列于风景如画的乌镇西栅景区内。

霍夫曼创作《浮鱼》的灵感源于世代相传的中国民间故事。他对鲤鱼跃“龙门”的古老故事尤为感兴趣。当霍夫曼游览乌镇，看到当地居民的生活场景时，这个故事在他的心中变得鲜活起来。

“我在乌镇逗留期间，在那里散步的时候，看到人们在喂鱼，你看墙上还有鱼形的浮雕。”这些景象使霍夫曼有了创作《浮鱼》的想法。

谭盾，作曲家

“音乐没有国界。”这是中国作曲家谭盾说的话。他因为给电影《卧虎藏龙》和2008年北京奥运会创作的音乐而被大众熟知。

聆听谭盾的音乐，就是体验中国音乐传统

To listen to Tan's music is to experience a mix of Chinese musical traditions and Western influences.Since his first opera，Nine Songs，Tan Dun [6]has been using a combination of Chinese music and sounds from all over the world to tell stories.As Tan once said，Chinese music should carry⑭ “universal expression⑮” of the human spirit so as to⑯ be recognised by the whole world.

Yang Liping，dancer

Yang Liping's passion is dancing.After winning a national competition in 1986 with her Spirit of the Peacock⑰ dance，she has been known as the “Peacock Princess”．The inspiration for her famous dances has come from the time [7]she spent in Xishuangbanna，Yunnan Province.

[7]此处为省略了关系词that/which的定语从句，修饰先行词the time。

“I feel very grateful for the years in Xishuangbanna，” says Yang.“It gave me a chance to go deeper into the lives of various ethnic⑱ groups...Our ethnic groups，especially the Dai people，admire the peacock.They think the peacock represents the beauty of nature.I especially like the dance style of the Dai people and it gives

和西方影响因素的融合。自其首部歌剧大作《九歌》以来，谭盾一直以中国音乐和全球音乐风格相结合的方式来讲述故事。正如谭盾曾说的，中国音乐应该承载人文精神的“共同理念”，才能被世界认可。

杨丽萍，舞蹈家

杨丽萍对舞蹈充满了热爱。1986年，她凭借舞蹈《雀之灵》在全国舞蹈大赛上折桂，自此便成为家喻户晓的“孔雀公主”。她的一些著名舞蹈的灵感源自她在云南西双版纳度过的时光。

“我非常感激在西双版纳的那些年。”杨丽萍说，“它让我有机会更加深入地了解各个民族的生活……我们的民族，尤其是傣族人民，非常喜爱孔雀。他们认为孔雀代表着自然之美。我尤其喜欢傣族人的舞蹈风格，这给了我许多灵感。我的舞蹈源于他们的传统信仰，旨在展现傣族女性的美丽。”
