正文 Manga , the Japanese comic books and graphic novels , are hugely popular in Japan and far beyond . They are usually printed in black and white , and readers turn the pages from right to left . Yet most fans have only seen manga as finished books . A new exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum in New York , called “Art of Manga ”, tries to show the work that happens before a story reaches the page .
本段译文 漫画（manga），即日本的漫画书和图像小说，在日本国内外都极受欢迎。它们通常以黑白印刷，读者从右向左翻页。然而，大多数读者只见过印成书的漫画。纽约布鲁克林博物馆的新展览“Art of Manga”（漫画的艺术）试图展示一个故事在印上书页之前所经历的创作过程。
The museum says it is the first major exhibition in the Americas to explore manga as an art form . It runs from October 3, 2026, to January 31, 2027, and fills ten rooms with more than 600 original drawings . Many of these pieces were never meant to be seen by the public , and several have left Japan for the first time .
本段译文 博物馆称，这是美洲首个把漫画作为一种艺术形式来探讨的大型展览。展览从 2026 年 10 月 3 日持续到 2027 年 1 月 31 日，占据十个展厅，展出 600 多幅原稿。其中许多作品原本并不打算公开展示，还有几件是首次离开日本。
The show is built around the artists , who are called mangaka . A manga is usually written and drawn by a single person . The first rooms introduce two early masters . Fujio Akatsuka was known as the “King of Gag Manga ” because of his wild humour . Tetsuya Chiba , however , told serious stories about sport , war , money and social problems .
本段译文 展览以被称为“mangaka”的漫画家为中心。一部漫画通常由一个人独自编写和绘制。最初的几个展厅介绍了两位早期大师。赤塚不二夫因其天马行空的幽默被称为“搞笑漫画之王”。而千叶彻弥则讲述关于体育、战争、金钱和社会问题的严肃故事。
After that , eight major artists each get their own section . Four are men and four are women , and they represent different styles and traditions Visitors can see an unfinished pencil self portrait by Jiro Taniguchi and the famous last scene of Chiba’s boxing story Ashita no Joe . In the centre hall stand twelve life-sized paintings by Hirohiko Araki , the creator of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure

Why put comic drawings in a museum ? Joan Cummins , a curator at the museum , said American visitors almost never get the chance to see original manga drawings . She added that the artwork shows each artist’s creative process . The lead curator , Nicole Coolidge Rousmaniere , believes some cultures value printed words more than drawn images , although this was not always true in the past . In her view , manga is the “ pulse of visual storytelling ” in Japan and deserves a place in museums .
本段译文 为什么要把漫画画稿放进博物馆？博物馆策展人琼·卡明斯说，美国观众几乎从来没有机会看到漫画原稿。她还说，这些作品展现了每位画家的创作过程。首席策展人妮可·库利奇·鲁斯马尼埃尔认为，一些文化更看重印刷的文字而不是绘制的图像，尽管过去并非一直如此。在她看来，漫画是日本视觉叙事的“脉搏”，理应在博物馆中占有一席之地。
The exhibition also shows how far manga has travelled . When Frederik Schodt wrote a book about Japanese comics in the 1980s , almost no one in the United States knew what manga was , he says . Today , young Americans are happy to read it in the Japanese style . The show first opened last year at the de Young Museum in San Francisco , where Rousmaniere saw some visitors cry in front of the drawings . It was then made larger for Brooklyn .
本段译文 这次展览也显示出漫画已经走了多远。弗雷德里克·肖特说，他在 20 世纪 80 年代写一本关于日本漫画的书时，美国几乎没有人知道漫画是什么。如今，美国年轻人乐于按日本的方式阅读漫画。该展览去年首先在旧金山的德扬博物馆开幕，鲁斯马尼埃尔在那里看到一些观众在画稿前落泪。之后，展览扩充了规模，来到布鲁克林。
