Zeuxis

Zeuxis was a Greek painter who, according to legend was awesome at painting. Unfortunately none of his work has survived to the modern-day, but according to one source, during a painting competition the grapes he painted were so realistic that birds flew down and began pecking at them.

據(jù)說希臘畫家宙克西斯十分擅長繪畫,遺憾的是,他的畫作都未能存留至今。但據(jù)說在一次繪畫比賽中,他畫的葡萄太逼真,引得鳥兒都飛下來啄食。

Zeuxis eventually kicked the bucket whilst in the process of painting Aphrodite. The woman who had commissioned the painting insisted on modelling for the painting, Zeuxis found the painting so hilarious that he keeled over and died laughing at it.

宙克西斯在一次畫愛與美之神阿芙洛狄特的時候死去。讓他作畫的女雇主堅持要做該畫的模特。宙克西斯覺得這幅畫太過滑稽,仰天大笑就此死去。Martin Of Aragon

Also known as Martin the Humane, the Elder and the Ecclesiastic, he was King of Aragon, Valencia, Sardinia and Corsica and Count of Barcelona from 1396 and King of Sicily from 1409.

馬蒂諾二世有著人道者、長者、神職者等綽號。他1396年登基為阿拉貢、巴倫西亞、撒丁、科西嘉國王和巴塞羅那伯爵,1409年加冕為西西里國王。

Martin had eaten an entire goose and was suffering from indigestion. He was in his bedroom trying to shift the pain when his favourite jester – Borra – entered to entertain him. According to legend Martin asked him where he’d been and he replied:"Out of the next vineyard, where I saw a young deer hanging by his tail from a tree, as if someone had so punished him for stealing figs."

一次,馬蒂諾吃了一整只鵝導致消化不良。他在臥室里休息時,最受寵的弄臣博拉進來逗他開心。馬蒂諾問他剛才去哪兒了,博拉答道:“我在葡萄園里看見一只小鹿倒吊在樹上,有人以此懲罰它偷吃無花果。”

Martin was incandescent with guffaws and promptly keeled over and died.

馬蒂諾仰天狂笑,一命嗚呼。Thomas Urquhart

Urquhart was a Scottish smarty pants who knew multiple languages and was a dab hand at mathematics. He translated manuscripts and released papers on maths. His father left him with a big estate which ended up being a bit of a pain as he was hassled by creditors throughout his early life.

托馬斯·烏克哈特是個喜歡賣弄聰明的人。他會好幾種語言,也擅長數(shù)學。他翻譯了一些手稿,也發(fā)表過數(shù)學論文。他父親留給他一座大房子,但這為烏克哈特的青年時代帶來一些煩惱——債主們總是不斷騷擾他。

He eventually found himself captured by Royalists and spent some time imprisoned in the Tower of London and later Windsor, before being paroled by Oliver Cromwell.

他最終被保皇黨人捉住,關(guān)在倫敦塔中,后來轉(zhuǎn)移到溫莎,直到被克倫威爾釋放。

When Urquhart heard the news that Charles II had been restored to the throne he laughed so hardily that he kicked the bucket.

他聽說查理二世復辟后,大笑而死。
