But the feeling you get as you walk through “A Window Suddenly Opens” is that these artists are hyperventilating and gasping, not breathing comfortably. They are reckoning with the weight of Chinese history, both recent and ancient, and with the cataclysmic changes that are transforming their culture with discombobulating speed.
但是當你走過“一扇突然打開的窗戶”時，你的感覺是這些藝術家正在過度換氣和喘息，呼吸不暢。 他們正在考慮中國近代和古代歷史的重量，以及正在以混亂的速度改變他們的文化的災難性變化。
For people of a certain age — you can do the math — this is more than a little shocking. When Carson walked away from “The Tonight Show” in 1992, it was a cataclysmic cultural event. For nearly 30 years, he was television’s uber host. Cool rather than warm, mischievous rather than passionate, he all but invented the opening monologue, launched countless comedy careers (including those of David Letterman, Carson’s preferred heir, and Jay Leno, his actual replacement) and gathered millions of Americans every weekday night for a collective bedtime story. Fifty million tuned into his final appearance on “The Tonight Show.”
