介绍（中）	这幅图像代表了树懒的罪恶，属于《七宗罪》的一系列版画，由彼得·范德海登根据老彼得·勃鲁盖尔的绘画雕刻而成。树懒的化身是一个穿着破旧的女人，她在前景中央睡觉，把体重放在屁股后面。在周围的风景中，懒惰或懒惰行为的各种例子都很明显，生动地展示了下面铭文的信息："懒惰让人无能为力，让人神经枯竭，直到男人一无是处。"。"七幅版画中的每一幅都遵循着类似的构图方案，前景是邪恶的化身和象征性的动物。勃鲁盖尔还采用了一种常见的背景和"外观"通过以希罗尼穆斯·博世的风格描绘每一个场景，勃鲁盖尔经常被拿来与之相比。《懒惰》以各种奇妙的生物和混乱的混合结构为特色，让人想起博世的作品。勃鲁盖尔有意识地采用了这种令人回忆的风格，与他描绘《七美德》的方式形成了鲜明对比，《七美德翼年——所有这些都以勃鲁盖尔当代世界的准确版本为背景。
介绍（英）	Representing the vice of sloth, this image belongs to a series of prints of the Seven Deadly Sins, engraved by Pieter van der Heyden after drawings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The personification of sloth, a shabbily dressed woman, demonstratively sleeps away the time in the central foreground, resting her weight on the back of an ass. The various examples of lazy or slothful behavior, in evidence in the surrounding landscape, colorfully demonstrate the message of the inscription below: "Sloth makes man powerless and dries out the nerves until man is good for nothing." Each of the seven prints follows a similar compositional scheme, with the personification of the vice accompanied by a symbolic animal in the foreground. Bruegel also adopted a common setting and "look" for the series by depicting each scene in the style of Hieronymus Bosch, to whom Bruegel was often compared. Sloth features an assortment of fantastic creatures and a confused arrangement of hybrid structures reminiscent of Bosch's work. This reminiscent style, employed consciously by Bruegel, contrasts sharply with the way he depicted The Seven Virtues, a series of prints executed in the following years—all of them set in an accurate version of Bruegel's contemporary world.
