　　Michelangelo And His Hygiene

　　不讲卫生的米开朗基罗

　　The Sistine Chapel in Vatican City might be celestial, but its creator, Michelangelo, one of the most important names in Western art’s history, was far from that. And for a simple reason, which is hygiene. Michelangelo slept with his clothes and boots on, without removing them for days. He avoided showering and even considered it a health hazard. Well, he might have had a point, because he lived until he was 89 years old.

　　梵蒂冈的西斯廷教堂也许美得出尘脱俗，但它的创造者——西方美术史上最重要的人物之一米开朗基罗却远非如此。原因很简单，就是卫生问题。米开朗基罗穿着衣服和靴子睡觉，而且好多天都不脱。他很少洗澡，甚至认为洗澡会危害身体健康。不过，他的观点也许有道理，因为他活到了89岁。

　　Honoré De Balzac And His 50 Cups Of Coffee

　　每天喝50杯咖啡的巴尔扎克

　　'Were it not for coffee one could not write, which is to say one could not live’ is what Balzac, the renowned French novelist, playwright and the author of The Human Comedy once said. And he really meant it, because there barely was a minute when he was not sipping this elixir of life, it’s estimated that Balzac drank 50 coffee cups a day. You may wonder, how does one sleep, when you’re permanently on a caffeine rush? But that’s how Balzac liked it, since he woke up daily at 1 am so he could jump straight into writing.

　　“没有咖啡就无法写作，也就无法生活”，这是法国著名小说家、戏剧家、《人间喜剧》作者巴尔扎克说过的话。他真的是这么认为的，因为每时每刻他都在喝咖啡。据估计，巴尔扎克每天要喝掉50杯咖啡。你可能会好奇，不停地喝咖啡要怎么睡觉?但这正是巴尔扎克想要的，因为他每天凌晨1点醒来，这样可以立刻投入到写作中。

　　Virginia Woolf, Friedrich Nietzsche And The Standing Desk

　　站着写作的伍尔芙和尼采

　　Even though these two figures don’t seem to have many things in common, the British modernist Virginia Woolf, together with the subversive German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche could see themselves working in a modern office as long as they would be provided with a standing desk. They both wrote while standing up, considering it to be the only proper way to achieve something of meaning.

　　尽管这两个人似乎没太多共同点，但英国现代主义作家弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙和德国颠覆性哲学家弗里德里希·尼采都适合有站立式办公桌的现代办公室。两人都是站着写作，他们认为只有这样才能写出有意义的东西。
