莱奥纳多·

芬奇是意大利文艺复兴时期最伟大的思想家之一，
也许也是迄今
最多才多艺的人。他是画家、雕刻家、建筑家、数学家、工
程师和发明家，因成
就广泛而闻名。他的天赋跨越多个领域，为其赢了“文艺复兴大师”
的称号。莱
奥纳多主要作为画家而著名。
在其所有作品中，
《蒙娜·
丽莎》
最为有名，
而
《最
后的晚餐》
则是历来复
制最多的宗教画作。
莱奥纳多作品的独特之处主要在于其
创新性
的技巧和敏锐的科学思维。他的画作大约只有
15
幅流传了下来
，其部分

原因是他不断试验新的
技巧，所以作品总量很小。莱奥纳多虽然不是多产画家，
却是一位最高产的绘图家，
他在日记中画满了各种草图、
图画和图表。
这些笔记
通常被称为达·芬奇手稿，记录了他的各种发明、观察，以及他对自己感兴趣的
事物提出的理论。
莱奥纳多的天赋使他几乎在涉足的每一领域都
成了先驱。

Ink and wash painting, one
of the unique traditional art forms of China, is
representative
of Chinese painting. It
began around the time of the Tang Dynasty, and
then prospered
in
the
Song
and Yuan
dynasties.
With
a
history
of
over
one
thousand
years,
it
has
experienced
constant
development,
improvement
and
perfection.
The
tools
and
materials
used to
create
ink
and
wash
painting, i.e. brushes,
rice paper and ink,
are
characteristic of Chinese culture and
closely related to the features of the paintings.
For
example,
the
mixing
of
water
and
ink
creates
different
shades
of
dryness,
wetness,
thickness and
thinness. The integration and infiltration of
water, ink,
and rice paper
enables such paintings to convey rich
images, and hence to achieve unique aesthetic
effects. Ink and wash painting holds a
high status in the history of Chinese painting,
and it is even regarded as the
criterion to evaluate the artistic level of
Oriental paintings.

It
is
not
his
carefree
attitude
that
made
him
seem
eccentric;
it
is
his
conspicuous
interest in film
that made his classmate shun and mock
him.
2 It is not his
experience in filmmaking that sabotaged transfer
attempts; it is his poor
grades that
forced film school to withhold
acceptance.
3 It is not
because thing are difficult that we fail to dare;
it is because we do not dare
that
things are difficult.

as they are.
