他把自身和物體重心、質量、重量融為一體。

572. he realizes its volume, as the space that the shape displaces in the air.

他能意識到物體的體積，那就是它的形狀有空氣中所占的空間。

573. And the sensitive observer of sculpture must also learn to feel shape simply as shape, not as description or reminiscence.

因此，敏銳的雕塑觀賞者也必須學會把形體作為形體來感覺，不要靠描述和印象去想象。

574. He must, for example, perceive an egg as a simple single solid shape, quite apart from its significance as food, or from the literary idea that it will become a bird.

以鳥蛋為例。觀賞者必須感覺到它是一個單一的實體形態(tài)，而完全不靠它的食用意義或它會變成鳥這樣的文字概念來感覺。

575. And so with solids such as a shell, a nut, a plum, a pear, a tadpole, a mushroom, a mountain peak, a kidney, a carrot, a tree-trunk, a bird, a bud, a lark, a ladybird, a bulrush, a bone.

對于其他實體，如，貝殼、核桃、李子、梨子、蝌蚪、蘑菇、山峰、腎臟、胡蘿卜、樹干、鳥兒、花蕾、云雀、瓢蟲、蘆葦以及骨頭也應這樣來感覺。

576. From these he can go on to appreciate more complex forms of combinations of several forms.

從這些形體出發(fā)，觀賞者可進一步觀察更為復雜的形體或若干形體的組合。
