　　许多旷世奇才都有不为人所知的怪癖。难怪有人说，天才和疯子只有一步之遥。今天我们就来聊聊天才们的怪癖。

　　Leonardo Da Vinci And His Sleep Schedule

　　不爱睡觉的达芬奇

　　Da Vinci was a painter, an engineer, a writer, a sculptor, an inventor, an architect, a pioneer in exploring human anatomy, an avid animal lover and possibly one of the most famous vegetarians (if not vegans) who ever lived. It seems that there’s nothing that this man did not do. Yet there was, it was sleeping. He wasn’t a fan of it and after conducting careful research and building up his knowledge, he started following the polyphasic sleep cycle. To put it in other words, Da Vinci’s sleep would consist of several short naps every 24 hours. Being The Renaissance man is not so easy.

　　达芬奇是一名画家、工程师、作家、雕塑家、发明家、建筑师、探索人类解剖学的先驱、狂热的动物爱好者，可能还是有史以来最有名的素食者之一。似乎没有什么事情是达芬奇没做过的。但是有一件事是达芬奇不爱做的，那就是睡觉。在进行了认真的研究，积累了相关知识之后，他开始采用多相睡眠法。换言之，达芬奇在一天时间内小睡多次，每次只睡一点时间。做文艺复兴代表人物可不是那么容易的事。

　　Leo Tolstoy And His Shoes

　　出身贵族却打扮成农民的列夫·托尔斯泰

　　The giant of the Russian literature, Lev Tolstoy not only wrote historically accurate books, but he himself became of historical importance while still being alive. Despite coming from the highest layers of society, Tolstoy eventually started questioning the morale of society that he lived in and started following his own path. He became a vegetarian, started following a vigorous daily routine and denounced the looks of a rich man. He started wearing peasant clothes and shoes, which, despite not being too skilled, were made by himself.

　　俄罗斯文学巨匠列夫·托尔斯泰不仅写出了真实反映历史的书，他自己在世时也成为了重要的历史人物。尽管出身于社会最顶层，托尔斯泰最终开始质疑他所生活的社会的道德，并开始走自己的道路。他成了一名素食者，开始遵守严格的日常作息，并抛弃富人派头的打扮。他开始穿农民的衣服和鞋，这些衣服和鞋都是他自己做的，尽管做得不太好。

　　Erik Satie And His Eccentricities

　　只吃白色食物的埃里克·萨蒂

　　The prominent French composer Erik Satie was weird. Not just weird, but incomprehensibly bizarre. For starters, his eating habits were something else. He only ate food that was white, such as eggs, sugar, grated bones, salt, coconuts, rice and similar. Each day he rose at 7:18 am and would have lunch strictly at 12:11. Then dinner at 7:16 pm and he would go to bed at 10:37 pm. Also, he was a hoarder but a very specific one - he loved umbrellas and had over 100 of them. And finally, Erik Satie was such a peculiar fellow that he even belonged to a religion… That he, himself founded.

　　法国著名作曲家埃里克·萨蒂是个怪人。不但怪，而且让人匪夷所思。首先，他的饮食习惯完全和常人不同。他只吃白色食物，比如鸡蛋、糖、磨碎的骨头、盐、椰子、米之类。每天早上他7点18分起床，中午12点11分准时吃午饭。晚上7点16分吃晚饭，10点37分睡觉。另外，他还是个囤积狂，而且只囤积特别的东西——他喜爱雨伞，拥有100多把。最后，怪人埃里克·萨蒂还信仰一种宗教——一种他自己创立的宗教。
