塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《自助论》· Self-Help · 领导

Working in this spirit, it is not so wonderful that Cellini should have been able to accomplish so much. He was a man of indefatigable activity, and was constantly on the move. At one time we find him at Florence, at another at Rome; then he is at Mantua, at Rome, at Naples, and back to Florence again; then at Venice, and in Paris, making all his long journeys on horseback. He could not carry much luggage with him; so, wherever he went, he usually began by making his own tools. He not only designed his works, but executed them himself,—hammered and carved, and cast and shaped them with his own hands. Indeed, his works have the impress of genius so clearly stamped upon them, that they could never have been designed by one person, and executed by another. The humblest article—a buckle for a lady’s girdle, a seal, a locket, a brooch, a ring, or a button—became in his hands a beautiful work of art.

白话

以这种精神工作,切利尼能完成那么多事就不奇怪了。他精力旺盛,不知疲倦, constantly 在移动。一时在佛罗伦萨,一时在罗马;然后是在曼图亚、罗马、那不勒斯,又回佛罗伦萨;接着在威尼斯、巴黎,所有长途旅行都骑马。他带不了多少行李,所以每到一处,通常先给自己做工具。他不仅设计作品,还亲手制作——亲手锤打、雕刻、铸造、塑形。的确,他的作品上清晰印着天才的印记,绝不可能是由一个人设计、另一个人制作的。最卑微的物件——女士腰带扣、印章、小盒、胸针、戒指或纽扣——到了他手里都成了美丽的艺术品。

上下文

《自助》结尾部分总结切利尼,强调他亲力亲为、工具随身做、把每件小物都做成艺术。

今日一问

你手头最普通的一件工作,能不能用“做成艺术品”的标准重新做一遍?
