1. 列奥纳多·迪·皮耶罗·达·芬奇

这位文艺复兴时期的艺术巨匠竟然是猴年出生的！广大属猴的童鞋们是不是很自豪呢？！！

Born in 1452 in Italy, Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest painters in the world and is well known in China. Most of the Chinese people born in the 1980s know him from an article called Painting Eggs in a Chinese elementary school textbook. There is a popular Chinese song called The Tears of Mona Lisa.

列奥纳多·迪·皮耶罗·达·芬奇于1452年出生于意大利，他是闻名于世的画家，在中国也是家喻户晓。大多数80后中国青年都是从一篇课文《画鸡蛋》中了解达芬奇的。甚至有一首很受欢迎的中文歌叫《蒙娜丽莎的眼泪》。

达·芬奇名言：

The sun rises higher and higher, it is on the roof of the light is dark.

太阳升得越高，它所投放到屋顶上的光越暗。

2. 查尔斯·狄更斯

这位文学大师也是猴年出生的啊~原谅英语君刚刚知道~~~属猴的童鞋们，看来你们很有文学天赋哦，毕竟200多年前的某个猴年，有位文学大师出生啦，也许这个猴年你也能成文学大师呢。

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in Britain. He is the author of some of the best-known novels and short stories around the world. His masterpieces are always on recommended book lists for both young children and adults in China.

查尔斯·狄更斯于1812年出生于英国。他创作了众多享誉世界的小说和短文。在中国青少年推荐书单中，他的许多杰作都榜上有名。

狄更斯名言：

In your life, don't break four things forever: trust, relationship, promise and heart, because when they break, it does not make any sound, but pains specialy.

在你的一生中，不要打破的四件事情：信任、承诺、人际关系和心灵。因为它们破碎的时候悄无声息，却会造成很多痛苦。
