米开朗基罗承担了雕刻《圣母抱基督遗体象》的工作。他从天亮就开始工作,一直干到天黑,他和衣倒在床上,睡到半夜,起来啃几口面包,点燃腊烛又开始工作。但是烛光又暗又散,他根本看不清大理石和凿子。于是米开朗基罗用硬纸做了一项圆锥形的帽子,在帽尖的洞里插上腊烛。这样,他又能工作了。但是,不一会儿,烛涙淌下来,流得他满脑门都是。米开朗基罗却一点也不在乎。 Michelangelo undertook the work of carving the image of Madonna embraced by Christ. He started to work from dawn until it was dark. He fell on the bed with his clothes and slept until midnight. He ate a few bites of bread, lit the candles and started to work again. But the candlelight was dark and scattered, and he could not see the marble and the chisel at all. So Michelangelo made a conical hat made of cardboard and put a candle in the hole in the hat. In this way, he can work again. However, a moment later, the candle drip down, flow through his head full. Michelangelo does not care at all.
