  Ludwig Van Beethoven And The 60 Coffee Beans

  数咖啡豆精确到粒的贝多芬

  Ludwig van Beethoven did write the glorious “Symphony No. 9”, which is now the anthem of European Union, while being already deaf, but, of course, that’s just the tip of the iceberg of his input into musical history. Yet stellar results require astronomic discipline. Each morning Beethoven counted by hand 60 coffee beans from which he would make his perfect cup of coffee. Also, in order to restart his creative muscles after writing too much music, he would pour cold water on his head.

  贝多芬确实是在耳聋的状态下写出辉煌的第九交响曲的,这首曲子现已成为欧盟的盟歌。当然,这只是贝多芬的音乐轶事的冰山一角。诚然,只有极端的自律才能达到这样非凡的成就。每天早上贝多芬都要用手精确地数出60粒咖啡豆来泡出完美的咖啡。此外,为了重启因写作了太多乐章而疲软的创造力,他会往头上浇冷水。

  Andy Warhol And His Wigs

  酷爱假发的安迪·沃霍尔

  Andy Warhol, the face of pop art, is easy to distinguish from a crowd. Because he indeed was a dandy and took great care of his looks, and most importantly, his iconic hairdo. Which was, actually… A wig. Warhol have the unusual habit of collecting wigs. Eventually, he hoarded a collection of 40 wigs.

  人们很容易就能在人群中认出波普艺术的代表安迪·沃霍尔。因为他是个不折不扣的花花公子,对自己的外表非常讲究,而他最看重的就是他标志性的发型。实际上,那是一顶假发。沃霍尔有收集假发的特殊癖好。他总共囤积了40顶假发。

  Glenn Gould And His Hypochondria

  一年四季都穿大衣带手套的格伦·古尔德

  A big name in the world of classical music, the Canadian pianist Glenn Gould was famous not only for his virtuosic skills and unique playing style. He also was a very odd character with many the eccentricities of a hyper hypochondriac. He always wore an overcoat and gloves in all temperatures because of his fears of catching germs and getting sick. And when performance time arrived, he would always bring his own chair with him, no matter where the concert took place. It always had to be his own, magical chair.

  作为古典音乐界的大人物,加拿大钢琴家格伦·古尔德的名气不仅源自他杰出的演奏技巧和独特的演奏风格,他还是一个超级古怪的疑心病患者。无论是什么温度,他总是穿着一件大衣,戴着手套,因为他害怕感染细菌而生病。到了演奏的时候,他总会带上自己的椅子,无论音乐会在哪里举行。他一定要坐在自己的那把神奇的椅子上。

  Pablo Picasso And His Revolver

  随身带枪的毕加索

  First of all, not many people know that Pablo Picasso is just the short version of his full name, which is, actually Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso. For real. But he became famous for being an unstoppable force wherever he went. He changed art forever, he was not discouraged by critics and he even was not scared when facing the Gestapo, the secret Nazi police. Yet he was unmovable in his daily life as well, because wherever he went, he carried a revolver, so that not many would dare to mess with this hot-tempered Spanish legend.

  首先,没有多少人知道巴勃罗·毕加索只是他名字的缩写,他的全名是巴布罗·迭戈·何塞·弗朗西斯科·狄·保拉·胡安·纳波穆西诺·玛莉亚·狄·洛斯·雷梅迪奥斯·西普里亚诺·狄·拉·圣地西玛·特里尼达·路易斯·毕加索。千真万确。不过他出名是因为无论他走到哪里,他都是不可阻挡的力量。他永远地改变了艺术,他不会因为评论而灰心,甚至在直面盖世太保(纳粹秘密警察)时也不害怕。与此同时,他的日常生活又是雷打不动的,无论他走到哪里,他都要随身携带一把左轮手枪,因此很少有人敢惹这位脾气火爆的西班牙传奇人物。

  Salvador Dali And His Wife

  把妻子当女神一样供起来的萨尔瓦多·达利

  When someone thinks of surrealism, chances are that Dali and his pomade-covered mustache comes to one’s mind. His life was as eccentric and surreal as his paintings, but apart from driving around with a car filled with cauliflowers and walking around Paris with an anteater, there was something that seems even more peculiar. Once he married his muse and love of his life, Gala, he treated her like a goddess. He bought her a castle and was allowed to visit her, his wife, only with a written invitation.

  只要想到超现实主义,人们就会想到达利和他那油亮的胡子。他的一生就如他的画作一样奇特和超现实,除了载着一车花椰菜到处走,还有带着一头食蚁兽在巴黎街头散步以外,达利还有一件更为诡异的事情。在他娶了自己的缪斯女神也是他最爱的女人加拉之后,他就把加拉当女神一样供了起来。他给加拉买了一座城堡,只有收到书面邀请才能去城堡拜访她。
