Street art is very visual, and often created in public spaces. Sometimes it is called 'graffiti'. In the past, graffiti was often associated with vandalism, but the public have now become more receptive to creative graffiti artworks. Several street artists have in fact reached international stardom.
在英語里，the writing's on the wall 可以用來比喻不好的事情即將發(fā)生。比如，有人要被裁員了、公司要倒閉了等倒霉的事情。
