    在佛羅倫薩這個城市里,吃的、睡的、和呼吸的都是藝術(shù)。人類藝術(shù)天賦的典范幾乎矗立在每一條街上,成打的博物館和美工藝品店等待著您去探索。意大利的佛羅倫薩是藝術(shù)愛好者的天堂。
    During the Renaissance(文藝復(fù)興) (or "Rebirth" of art), Florence was a paradise(樂園) for artists themselves. In fact, the Renaissance began here more than 500 years ago. Before this time, art focused(集中) completely on religious(宗教的) subjects. Renaissance art began to include more variety(變化). Artists painted pictures of ordinary people. They painted scenes(場景) from history and characters from Greek and Roman myths.
    在文藝復(fù)興時期(或稱藝術(shù)重生時期),佛羅倫薩對藝術(shù)家們本身就是個天堂,事實上在五百多年前,文藝復(fù)興就在這兒發(fā)跡了。在這之前,藝術(shù)作品完全集中在宗教主題上,而文藝復(fù)興時期的藝術(shù)則包含更多變化的風(fēng)貌,藝術(shù)家們描繪一般人物的畫像,也繪畫希臘羅馬神話中的歷史和人物。
    Michelangelo was the greatest of Florence's artists. Visitors line up for hours at the Accademia museum for a look at his impressive(令人印象深刻的) David. This 14-foot-high statue(雕像) has become the ideal human figure of the Renaissance. David is an example of Michelangelo's talent for sculpting people simply, yet powerfully.
    米開朗基羅是佛羅倫薩藝術(shù)家中的佼佼者。游客們在阿卡得米亞博物館前大排長龍達好幾個鐘頭之久,為了一睹他感人的大作“大衛(wèi)像”豐采,這一尊十四英尺高的雕像已經(jīng)成為文藝復(fù)興時期完美的一尊人物塑像,“大衛(wèi)像”是一種典范,表現(xiàn)出米開朗基羅雕塑人像簡潔而有力的風(fēng)格。
    Florence has given the world many great art treasures. Some stand in gardens and squares(廣場). Others line the walls of beautiful palaces. Still others are the palaces themselves. For art lovers, Florence is indeed paradise.
    佛羅倫薩提供了世人許多的藝術(shù)寶藏,它們有些矗立在花園和廣場上,有些則陳列在華麗的宮墻上,而有些寶藏就是那些宮殿本身。對藝術(shù)愛好者而言,佛羅倫薩確實是天堂。
