塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《自助论》· Self-Help · 领导

Still more romantic and adventurous was the career of Benvenuto Cellini, the marvellous gold worker, painter, sculptor, engraver, engineer, and author. His life, as told by himself, is one of the most extraordinary autobiographies ever written. Giovanni Cellini, his father, was one of the Court musicians to Lorenzo de Medici at Florence; and his highest ambition concerning his son Benvenuto was that he should become an expert player on the flute. But Giovanni having lost his appointment, found it necessary to send his son to learn some trade, and he was apprenticed to a goldsmith. The boy had already displayed a love of drawing and of art; and, applying himself to his business, he soon became a dexterous workman. Having got mixed up in a quarrel with some of the townspeople, he was banished for six months, during which period he worked with a goldsmith at Sienna, gaining further experience in jewellery and gold-working.

白话

本韦努托·切利尼的经历更加浪漫和冒险,他是神奇的金匠、画家、雕塑家、版画家、工程师和作家。他自述的一生是最非凡的自传之一。他父亲乔瓦尼是佛罗伦萨洛伦佐·德·美第奇宫廷乐师,对儿子最大的期望是让他成为吹笛高手。但乔瓦尼丢了职位,只好送儿子去学一门手艺,让他给金匠当学徒。这孩子早已表现出对绘画和艺术的热爱;他专心学艺,很快成了灵巧的工匠。后来他卷入和城里一些人的争吵,被流放六个月,期间在锡耶纳跟一位金匠干活,在珠宝和黄金加工上积累了更多经验。
