【翻译-英译汉练习】Picture-taking is a technique both for annexing the objective world and for expressing the singular self. Photographs depict objective realities that already exist, though only the camera can disclose them. And they depict an individual photographer’s temperament, discovering itself through the camera’s cropping of reality. That is, photography has two antithetical ideals: in the first, photography is about the world and the photographer is a mere observer who counts for little; but in the second, photography is the instrument of intrepid, questing subjectivity and the photographer is all.
【翻译参考译文】
照相是一种既能获得客观世界，又能表现独特自我的技术。照片描绘已经存在的客观现实，尽管只有相机才能显露它们。它们（即照片）描绘了个体摄影师的性情，通过镜头对现实的剪裁来发现了自己。也就是说，摄影有两个对立的理想：在第一个理想中，摄影是关于世界的，而摄影师只是一个无足轻重的观察者；不过在第二个理想中，摄影是无畏的、探索的主体的工具且摄影师就是一切。
