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。
elixir[ɪ'lɪksɚ]: n. 不老长寿药;万能药;炼金药

They both wrote while standing up, considering it to be the only proper way to achieve something of meaning.
