“古雅”
用英语怎么说？

A few blocks from where I live, a quaint, mid-size home was recently replaced by a giant house that seems to occupy its entire property. It is swollen, as if every available inch has been turned into indoor space. I have begun noticing this trend everywhere: things are getting bigger, louder, and more visually aggressive, as if taking up more space is the ultimate goal. For example, cars have become larger and wider, with fronts that look more like weapons than thoughtful designs. The Tesla Cybertruck is a perfect example: a vehicle so visually belligerent it seems built to win a fight. Even in fashion, Gen Z embraces oversized styles and awkward proportions. This has made me wonder: is our world actually getting uglier? Of course, taste is subjective and inherently vulnerable to personal memories, but this shift feels different. It feels like a loss of balance.

在我住的地方几个街区外，一座古雅的中型住宅最近被一栋巨大的房子取代了，那栋房子似乎占满了它的整片地盘。它非常膨胀，仿佛所有能用的空间都被变成了室内空间。我开始在到处注意到这种趋势：事物正在变得更大、更大声、更具视觉侵略性，仿佛占据更多空间本身就是终极目标。例如，汽车变得更高更宽，车头看起来更像武器，而不是精心设计的产物。特斯拉的赛博皮卡就是一个完美例子：这辆车在视觉上如此好斗，以至于它看起来是为了赢得一场争吵而制造的。甚至在时尚界，Z世代也欣然接受超大尺寸的风格和不协调的比例。这让我开始思考：我们的世界真的在变得更丑吗？当然，审美是主观的，而且天生脆弱，容易受到个人记忆的影响，但这种转变感觉有所不同。它感觉像是一种失去平衡。
