牛车水肉脯:能帮我翻译一下吗？

Habitualization devours works,clothes,furniture,one's wife,and the fear of war."If the whole complex lives of many people go on unconsciously ,then such lives are as if they had never been ."And art exists that one may recover the sensation of life ;it exists to make one feel things,to make the stone story .The purpose of art is to impart the sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known .The technique of art is to make objects "unfamiliar,"to make forms difficult,to increase the difficulty and length of perception because the process of perception is an aesthetic end in itself and must be prolonged.Art is a way of experiencing the artfulness of an object ;the object is not important.

Ambiguity would disappear if the three notions invoived here were designated by three names,each suggesting and oppsing the others.I propose to retain the word sign to designate the whole and to replace concept and sound-image respectively by signified and signifier ;the last two terms have the advantage of indicating the opposition that separates them form each other and form the whole of which they are parts.As regards sign ,if I am satisfied with it,this is simply because I do not know of any word to replace it ,the ordinary language suggesting no other.
