- All right, cherubs. Right now we're looking at a detail from the Fresco on the ceiling of Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo.
- 好的，天使们。现在我们要看米开朗基罗在西斯汀礼拜堂天花板上的局部壁画。
- This particular detail is often called Creation of Adam and it's one of the most recognizable paintings ever made.
- 这块特定的局部通常被称作《创造亚当》，而它是至今最具辨识度的画作之一。
- People often discuss how Michelangelo painted this while lying on his back, or use it for a fart joke Memes,
- 人们通常讨论米开朗基罗是怎么背靠在地上画出这个的，或是把它拿来做恶搞图，
- but this has been reproduced for more interesting reasons.
- 但这画被复制是因为更有趣的理由。
- It visually tells a story of God giving life to mankind out of dust, which is what Adam's name means.
- 它以视觉讲了上帝从尘土中给了人类生命的故事，而尘土正是亚当名字的意思。
- Now that's a big task—how can one paint God?
- 现在那是个大工程－－人怎么可以画出上帝？
- Michelangelo chose to make him look old and wise here, which God should be since he's infinitely old and infinitely wise.
