Salvador Dali

　　“Where is My Clock?”

　　“我的钟去哪了?”

　　Salvador Dali (1904-1989)

　　萨尔瓦多·达利(1904-1989)

　　Salvador Dali was a prominent Spanish surrealist painter, famous for works like “The Persistence of Memory” (1931) and “Swans Reflecting Elephants” (1937).

　　萨尔瓦多•达利是著名的西班牙超现实主义画家，代表作有《记忆的永恒》(1931)和《天鹅与大象》(1937)。

　　In 1980, Dali’s health took a turn for the worse when he started to develop Parkinson-like symptoms that caused his right hand to shake uncontrollably.

　　1980年，达利的健康状况急转直下，表现出类似于帕金森综合征的症状，这使他的右手不受控制地颤抖。

　　After his wife died he lost much of his will to live, deliberately dehydrating himself to put himself in a state of “suspended animation.” He died on January 23, 1989 of heart failure. His last words, ostensibly a reference to his work, were “where is my clock?”

　　妻子过世后，他丧失了活下去的意志，故意使自己脱水从而处于假死状态。1989年1月23日，他因心力衰竭而去世。他生前最后一句话是“我的钟去哪了?”，看起来这指的是他的作品。
