什麼是文藝復興人？歷史上有哪些文藝復興人？

先上原文，再上翻譯。

Renaissance writer introduced the idea that all educated people were expected to create art. In fact, the ideal individual strove to master almost every area of study. A man who excelled in many fields was praised as a "universal man". Later ages called such people "Renaissance men".

Baldassare Castiglione wrote a book called The Courtier (1528) that taught how to become such a person. A young man should be charming, witty, and well educated in the classics. He should dance, sing, play music, and write poetry. In addition, he should be a skilled rider, wrestler, and swordsman.

（摘自World History: Patterns of Interaction，作者Holt McDougal）

自己的渣翻譯：

文藝復興時期的作家帶來這樣一種理念，即所有受過教育的人都應創造藝術作品。實際上，理想的人會儘力掌握幾乎所有領域。一個在多種領域達到卓越者被稱讚為「全才」。後來，人們稱呼這種人「文藝復興人」。

巴爾達薩雷·卡斯蒂利奧內於1528年寫出The Courtier（抱歉，沒找到譯名，直譯為「禮儀」）一書教授人們如何成為這類人。一個年輕人應當迷人、機智，並在古典領域受過良好教育。他應該會跳舞、唱歌、演奏音樂和創作詩歌。而且，他該是一個熟練的騎手、搏鬥家和劍客。

再來一段The Courtier的英譯版節選，之後上翻譯。

Let the man we are seeking be very bold, stern, and always among the first, where the enemy are to be seen; and in every other place, gentle, modest, reserved, above all things avoiding ostentation and that impudent self-praise by which men ever excite hatred and disgust in all who hear them...

I would have him more than passably accomplished in letters, at least in those studies that are called the humanities, and conversant not only with the Latin language but with the Greek, for the sake of the many different thing that have been admirably written therein. Let him be well versed in the poets, and not less in the orators and historians, and also proficient in writing verse and prose.

自己的渣翻譯：

讓我們尋求的人在敵人出現時，十分勇敢、堅毅，並總是第一個衝上前；而在其他地方，溫和、謙遜、內斂，並在這一切之上，避免炫耀，以及引起憎惡和厭煩的自誇。

我會讓他的智識成就達到優秀，至少在人文學科上，並且不僅能以拉丁語，更能以希臘語交談，因為諸多令人傾慕的作品都是以這一語言寫成的。讓他在詩人中諳練，在演講家及歷史學家中也一點不差，且精通於寫詩和散文。

達·芬奇是著名的文藝復興人。作為文藝復興三傑之一，他精通繪畫、雕塑、科學和發明創造，完美吻合文藝復興人的通才標準。
