在文艺复兴时期,年轻女孩流行在头上佩戴金黄色的花环,就好像现在的女孩子喜欢戴手链、戒指作为装饰一样。当时,有一个金匠因为金属花环做得特别好,所以非常出名。他被人称为“吉兰达约”,就是“做花环的人”的意思。吉兰达约后来不做花环开始画画,他画也画得很好。但是,吉兰达约最了不起的事情,是培养出了艺术家米开朗琪罗。米开朗琪罗跟着吉兰达约学习了三年,吉兰达约不但没有收他学费,相反还给他钱。
At the time of the Renaissance,young girls used to wear golden garlands or wreaths around their hair,as girls nowadays wear bracelets round their wrists or rings on their fingers.One goldsmith was so famous for the garlands he made that he was called Ghirlandajo(Gear-lan-dah’yo),which means a maker of garlands.Ghirlandajo gave up making garlands and began to paint pictures instead.He made many very fine pictures,but the chief thing he made was an artist.
