For every art festival that is not going ahead there will be artists and technicians no longer working – not to mention front-of-house staff, security guards, cleaners and bar staff. According to those on the right, all this is absolutely fine: it‘s simply market forces at work. This view is careless, and despicable. You can judge a society by the respect accorded to its artists, and there’s something going badly wrong in a country that lets someone who‘s trained half a lifetime to achieve a pitch of miraculous skill unable to use it.

第二、三句：

参考译文：
根据右翼人士的说法，这一切绝对没问题：只是市场力量在起作用。这种说法不但轻率，还卑鄙可耻。

参考译文：
要评价一个社会，你可以看它对艺术家是否尊重，如果一个国家让经过半生训练才打磨出神奇技艺的人无法发挥这技艺，那肯定是出了大问题。
背景信息
预计从5月17日开始，艺术和文化场所将重新开放，而一些商业画廊，由于地位上属于商铺，已经在4月12日开门营业了。这将是一个美妙的时刻，观众们早就不满足于被压缩到屏幕上的艺术品，他们对于真正的艺术实景如饥似渴，期待与艺术品面对面，与同伴一起享受穿行展览空间的旅程。然而这些愉悦不应遮掩住文化产业的失落——上周最新的数据显示，今年第一季度文化产业同比下降了79%，远高于普遍认为受严重打击的餐饮服务业（70%）。因此许多人呼吁政府加大对文化产业和艺术从业人员的纾困支持。可一些右翼人士却认为，无需大惊小怪，一切不过于资本主义的良好安排。有些人甚至说，这是固强去弱的好机会，如果疫情会能力最薄弱的艺术从业者撞上南墙，那也没什么可纠结的。这些观点不仅冷血，而且无知。一个国家对于艺术和创意的态度将决定其文化底蕴，纯市场导向最终将引社会走向单一、空虚和丑陋。
