Now, William Shakespeare was the greatest writer in the English language, as he's been considered, but what did he actually look like?

CNN主播

威廉·莎士比亚被认为是最伟大的英文作家，但他究竟长得什么模样呢?

Experts now say they have the answer in a picture worth a lot more than a thousand words. So, Nicholas Glass has more.

如今专家说，他们的答案就在一张价值胜过千言万语的作品中。尼可拉斯·葛莱斯有更详尽的报道。

Somewhere in the melee behind me is this new discovery, this new portrait, it is claimed of William Shakespeare. It's owned by an Anglo-Irish family, the Cobbs, and it's been hanging in their drawing room in their house outside Dublin for the better part of 200 years.

这个新发现就在我身后的混乱人群之中——有一幅新发现的肖像画，据称画中人是莎士比亚。画作的拥有者是一个爱尔兰裔家族。两百年来，这幅画大部分时间都挂在他们都柏林城郊宅邸的丽室中。

It was mislabeled as being Sir Walter Raleigh. The gentleman sumptuously attired in the height of Jacobean fashion, doublet and collar of Italian lace-long-nosed, fine-bearded, keen-eyed and, to our surprise, blessed with a fullish head of hair.

这幅画原本被误以为是为瓦特·莱利爵士的画像。画中的绅士身着最时髦的雅各布宾风格华服，紧身上衣加上意大利蕾丝边衣领长鼻子、胡琵整齐、眼神锐利，出乎我们意料的是，他有幸拥有几乎满头的丰盈头发。

There's intelligence here, a presence. Is this William Shakespeare as we've never seen him before, a penetrating likeness painted during his lifetime? So good is the portrait that one imagines the subject sat for it.

画作很传神，栩栩如生。由于我们都未曾见过莎士比亚，这幅画里的他是否极为神似?是否是他在世时所绘的呢?这张肖像画惟妙惟肖，会让人想象到画中人就坐在那里让人给他画像。

NICHOLAS GLASS, ITV REPORTER

We know so little about Shakespeare the man, what he was like as a friend, a lover, a husband. Our idea of what he looked like is based on the engraving in the "First Folio." The Anglo-Flemish engraver Martin Droeshout has almost certainly based his image on something else. Could it have been this painting?

ITV记者 尼古拉斯·葛莱斯

我们对于莎士比亚所知不多，不清楚他作为朋友、爱人和丈夫是何模样。我们对于莎翁长相的想法是以《第一对开本》这幅版画为依据的。几乎可以确定的是，安格鲁佛兰德裔的雕版画家马丁·德罗肖特是根据别的东西来制作出他的版画的。可能是这幅肖像画吗?

There's compelling evidence that this portrait was commissioned and indeed owned by the Earl of Southampton, and for some Shakespeare scholars, that's persuasive enough.

有充分的证据显示，这张肖像网是委托之作，且确实是南汉普顿的伯爵所拥有。对一些研究莎上比亚的学者而言，这些就够有说服力了。
