让叠起的巨石保持平衡，创造艺术作品的人 阿德里安·格雷——英国最古怪的艺术家利用垒叠的石头创造出神奇的艺术作品一个清新灿烂的早晨，我站在多塞特布满岩石的荒芜海滩上。在我身后这个美丽的海湾，郁郁葱葱的悬崖表面生长着深浅不一的绿色植物。你也许会认为这是天赐之福。确实如此。只是我的手指疼，手臂酸（很抱歉这么说），我简直希望自己回到伦敦的办公室。The reason? For two hours Ive been desperately trying to balance giant rocks on top of each other. And failing badly.什么原因？要知道，两个小时了，我一直在拼命尝试平衡重叠的巨大岩石。结果惨败。Perhaps I should explain. I am here to meet Adrian Gray - one of Britains oddest artists. And this amazing beach, accessible only by boat or a treacherous climb, is Grays canvas.也许我应该解释一下。我来这里是为了见阿德里安·格雷——英国最古怪的艺术家。这片神奇的海滩就是格雷的画布，到那里只能靠小船或危险的攀爬。Balancing act: One of the stunning stone artworks created by Adrian Gray 平衡行动：阿德里安·格雷创作的令人惊叹的艺术作品之一。Gray, you see, has an unusual artistic technique. Remember that famous Monty Python sketch about The Society For Putting Things On Top Of Other Things? The joke was about how human beings can unwittingly immerse themselves in utterly futile activities.你知道，格雷有种不同寻常的艺术技能。你还记得有关“把物品放到其它物品上社团”著名的“巨蟒小组”梗概吗？这个喜剧有关人类如何能不知不觉地沉浸在绝对徒劳无功的活动中。Well, the art Gray creates is a result of nothing more sophisticated than putting things on top of other things. Big rocks on top of other big rocks, to be precise.格雷创作的艺术品不过是把一些物品放到其它物品上而已，并不复杂。确切地说，就是把大石头放到其它大石头上。Then he photographs the results and sells the images. How futile can you get?然后，他拍下这些成果，再销售这些照片。你还能多么徒劳？But the weird thing is that its not futile at all. The end results are, quite simply, breathtaking.不可思议的是，这根本不是徒劳无功。最终的结果简直令人惊叹。 Rock on: Adrian Gray (left) demonstrates his amazing skill to Vincent Graff 叠石：阿德里安·格雷（左）向文森特·格拉夫证明他令人惊叹的技能。Look at the images here. Surely these rocks - virtually floating on air - cannot possibly stay standing? Just what is holding them in place? Has the Government secretly repealed the laws of physics?看看这张图片。这些几乎漂浮在空中的石头肯定不可能保持挺立吧？到底是什么将它们固定在位置上？难道是政府秘密地废除了物理定律？ Yet there is no cheating involved in any of the photographs. No steel rods, no magnets, no computer trickery. The only glue he uses is Natures. Gravity. 然而，其中任何一张照片都没有涉及到欺骗。那里
