用印象取代細節的風格

noun · B2
A style of painting, used especially in France in the 1800s, in which the painter uses colour and light to show how a scene looked and felt at one moment, instead of drawing every detail of its shape.
印象派（繪畫）
One way to hold this word: catch the mark a moment leaves on you, and hand that over instead of the thing itself. A scene arrives as light, colour and feeling long before you could list what was in it, and this is the choice to keep the arrival and let the details go. Painters do it with strokes of colour, composers with the texture of sound, poets with a single image — different materials, the same trade.
可以想成：一個瞬間在你心裡留下的痕跡，把那個痕跡交出來，而不是交出那樣東西本身。一個景象進到你眼裡時，先到的是光、顏色和感覺，遠早於你能一一說出裡面有什麼。這個字選的就是「保留那個抵達的瞬間，放掉細節」。畫家用一道一道顏色做這件事，作曲家用聲音的質感，詩人用一個意象——材料不同，交換是同一個。
From the word’s history
From impression plus -ism. Impression goes back through French to Latin imprimere: im- ('in') plus premere ('to press') — literally a pressing-in, the mark a scene leaves on you.
由 impression（印象）加 -ism（主義、流派）組成。impression 經由法文回到拉丁文 imprimere：im-（進去）加 premere（壓），字面就是「壓進去」。所以印象本來的畫面，是某個景象在你心裡壓出來的一個印子。這個流派要交出來的，正是那個印子，而不是景象的清單。
