Gherardini died in Florance in 1542.

1542年，盖拉尔迪尼在佛罗伦萨去世。

Historians believe that the woman depicted by Leonardo De Vinci may have been Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a silk merchant.

历史学家相信，达芬奇所绘画的女性很有可能是丝绸商人的妻子盖拉尔迪尼。

But if Mr Cotte's theory is right, it might just explain why Gherardini, a Florentine, wears such a contented, if inscrutable, smile.

但如果 Cotte 先生的理论是正确的，那么它或许可以解释为什么佛罗伦萨人 Gherardini 会露出如此满足的笑容，尽管这笑容深不可测。

A note written in a manuscript in the library confirmed the account of da Vinci's first biographer, Giorgio Vasari: that the sitter was a merchant's wife, Lisa Gherardini.

图书馆手稿中的一条注释证实了达芬奇的第一位传记作者乔尔乔瓦萨里的说法：保姆是一位商人的妻子丽莎格拉尔迪尼。

But the Mona Lisa — said by the Louvre to be a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine silk merchant — and additional works by Leonardo still have other secrets to tell.

但卢浮宫称《蒙娜丽莎》是丽莎·格拉迪尼的肖像画，她是一位佛罗伦萨丝绸商人的妻子，此外，莱昂纳多的其他作品同样存在其他秘密可言。

That is similar to one that da Vinci included in a sketch of a fortress contested by Pisa and Florence in the war that flared between them in 1503 (around the time he was painting Gherardini).

这与达芬奇在 1503 年比萨和佛罗伦萨之间爆发的战争中所描绘的堡垒草图相似（大约在他画格拉尔迪尼的时候）。
