What is an encyclopaedia
Warming-up
encyclopaedia
[en sa kl 'pi:dj ]
n.百科全书
百科全书是概要介绍人类的全部知识或某一类知识的工具书。往往按照辞典形式编排（以条目为基本单元），收集各知识领域的名词、熟语、地名、事件、人物、著作等等，但不收录词语，故不同于语文辞典。百科全书可以是综合性的，包含所有领域的相关内容（例如，《不列颠百科全书》就是一部著名的综合性百科全书）。也可以是专业性的百科全书（例如医学或哲学百科全书）。也有一些从某种特定文化或国家观点来讨论广泛议题的百科全书，例如《苏联大百科全书》。有时，百科全书
也被视为是一个国家和一个时代
科学文化发展的标志。
There are different types of encyclopaedias.

列昂纳多·达·芬奇（1452年4月15日－1519年5月2日），又译莱昂纳多·达·芬奇、李奥纳多·达·芬奇，是意大利文艺复兴时期的一个博学者：除了是画家，他还是雕刻家、建筑师、音乐家、数学家、工程师、发明家、解剖学家、地质学家、制图师、植物学家和作家。他的天赋或许比同时期的其他人物都高，这使他成为文艺复兴时期人文主义的代表人物，也使得他成为文艺复兴时期典型的艺术家，也是历史上最著名的画家之一，与米开朗基罗和拉斐尔并称文艺复兴三杰。小行星3000被命名为“列奥纳多”。
