Both The Thinker and The Kiss are close to the reality of flesh and blood. We instinctively don't wish to call them "statues". The Kiss ended as a big sculpture. The perfection of the marble carving does not stop us from imagining that we are in the presence of living people. The young woman is especially vital. As a matter of fact we know who she was: a girl in Paris called Carmen who made her living as a model, and was still alive as lately as l950.

但是，《思想者》和《吻》都非常接近真实的生命。我们直觉上不想把它们称作"雕塑"。《吻》是一座巨大的雕像，大理石雕刻的完美并不能阻止我们想象自己面对的是真人。那个年轻女子尤其栩栩如生。其实我们知道她是谁：一个叫卡门的巴黎女子，以做模特为生，20世纪50年代还健在。

【这是关于罗丹：《吻》和《思想者》的看法之一。希望你也能脱口而出^*^】
