情態副詞

I first encountered this ordinary material, fishnet,

我第一次接觸到這種平平無奇的東西，漁網，

持久的，起伏有致，充滿張力的

I was an unlikely person to be doing this.

我本來是最不可能從事這行的。

I went off on my own to become an artist,

我只好自己想辦法成為一名藝術工作者，

當我拿到Fullbright獎學金去印度。

Promising to give exhibitions of paintings,

I shipped my paints and arrived in Mahabalipuram.

就把我所有的畫都打包郵寄了，自己也到了Mahabalipuram（印度南部城市）

This fishing village was famous for sculpture.

But to make large forms was too heavy and expensive.

但是要造大型的作品太重也太貴。

bundle their nets into mounds on the sand.

在沙灘上，將漁網收攏成一堆。

was made in collaboration with these fishermen.

我們把它們吊起來放到柱子上拍照。

後來在立陶宛，和蕾絲工匠們一起。

to shift from being an object you look at

Returning to India to work with those fishermen,

of a million and a half hand-tied knots --

上面有一百五十萬個手打的繩結——

做成一個永久性的作品放在波爾圖。

to idiosyncratic, delicate and ephemeral.

我們需要某種東西可以支撐起網子

out there in the middle of the traffic circle.

So we raised this 45,000-pound steel ring.

結果我們抬起了這個重達4萬5千磅的鋼環。

來模擬這種多孔又運動的物體。

I found a brilliant aeronautical engineer

who designs sails for America's Cup racing yachts

他幫我解決了這兩個密切相關的挑戰

我不能用我熟悉的方式創造它，

學習了他們機床上的各種變量，

to translate this ancient, idiosyncratic handcraft

能轉化這一古老的，特殊的手工藝

into something machine operators could produce.

好讓機床工人能製造出類似的東西。

所以我們必須自己創造出一個方法。
