W:It depended on the kind of artists you talking about. A lot of painters did work for government buildings, (murals 壁画), and city halls or other pubilc buildings for example. Sculptors did work to put in the public park, that sort of things.

W:There were some (criticisms 批判), sure. Many people consider the program wasreful. They thought that creating public art was not real work like (paving 铺) a road or putting up a building. But the government was concerned with getting as many people employed as possible.2 G% ]" ^& E- A' T3 Z

There is nothing you can do to escape history. Perhaps you don't realize (it) but you are always surrounded by things that connect (you) to the past. Take for an example something (as simple as) (bobby pin 发夹) that people (sometimes) wear in their hair. I t goes back 10,000 years. Ancient graves in Asia contain hairpins made of bone and (iron), silver and gold. In function, they are little different from what we use today. (Cleopatra) is set to prefer (hairpins 发夹) of (ivory 象牙) that was decorated with (jewels). Roman hairpins were sometimes hollow inside making them better to carry poison in. Now the modern bobby pin (owes 把归功于) its name and shape to the 17th century French court where (wigs 假发) were in fashion. They made wearing a wig easier as they were used to pin that (facilitated 使容易) (these) was called a bobby pin which became bobby pin in England 18th century. Then in the 19th century, the bobby pins that are still in use today, the ones made of (steel wire 钢丝) began to (be mass) produced.

Today I wanna talk about the result of a (recent) study. These results indicate that the routine cleanings of (oil) paintings intended to help (preserve) them, may actually (hasten 催促) their (deterioration 恶化,退化). As you know, (conservators 保护者) often use strong organic (solvents 溶剂) such as (alcohol 酒精) or (acetone 丙酮) to clean paintings. There have been many studies the chemical (set) for such solvents. The studies were designed to make sure that the solvents don't (interact 互相作用) in the harmful way with (the) chemicals in paint or with the (glue) use to (seal 密封) canvas for example. But the recent study was the first to consider the fact that solvents (turn to cool off 渐渐冷却 their) surroundings as they (evaporate 蒸发). The new study found that (sweeping 清扫) a painting with (acetone) for just 5 seconds can cause the (spot 污点) of acetone was applied to near freezing temperature, and even that if you've never had (course) in physics. You are probably (aware) that things (contract 收缩) and (expand 扩张) at the different (rates) when the temperature changes. That's why running hot water over a (jar  广口瓶) can make it easier to get the (lid 盖子) (off). The metal lead expanse more than the glass jar (does). Since different layers of paintings such as glue, (fabric 织物) and paint also (respond) (differently) to temperature changes. It turns out that the use of solvent can (subject 易受…的) the painting to very strong mechanical stresses. In other words, even if there were no chemical damage, the use of strong solvents can weak a painting (structurally 在结构上), (alternately 交替地) cause the (inter-deteriorate 相互恶化) more quickly.
