Every artist's wish is to create something that expresses an idea. But where do artists get their ideas from? Who or what inspires them? Here we find out more about the influences behind the successes of three very different artists. Florentijn Hofman, visual artist Florentijn Hofman is a Dutch artist, whose large sculptures are on display all over the world. One way for him to find inspiration is turning to his children's toys. These objects have given him ideas for his animal sculptures, such as the famous Rubber Duck. A more recent work of his is the huge Floating Fish, which was set among the beautiful landscape of Wuzhen West Scenic Zone. visual artist 视觉艺术家 on display 陈列，展出 turn to sb. 向某人寻求帮助 inspire v. 激励，鼓舞；赋予灵感--inspiration n. inspire sb to do sth. whose引导的非限制性定语从句 which 引导的非限制性定语从句 to do不定式放在系动词后面，常表示将来的动作，起解释说明的作用。 Hofman's inspiration for Floating Fish came from Chinese folk tales passed down through the generations. He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate”. This story came to life for Hofman when he visited Wuzhen and saw how people lived there. “During the walk and my stay here in the town, I 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 motion. folk tales 民间故事 passed down 世代相传 = hand down came to life 活跃起来；苏醒过来；复苏 set … in motion 使…开始；让…动起来 passed down 过去分词作后置定语，修饰folk tales，表被动含义 jumping through．．．现在分词作后置定语，修饰fish，表主动含义 参考《三维》P８３ see sb./sth. do sth.看到做某事的全过程 see sb./sth. doing sth.　看到．．正在做 see sb./sth. done　　看到．．被 see sb./sth. being done　看到．．正在被 　　Tan Dun, composer “
