所有证明这幅画上人物是简奥斯汀的证据都是不足信的。当然,这幅画长期以来同奥斯汀家族极其后代保持着某种意义上的联系。但是,这都不足以证明画中问人是少女简奥斯汀。
First, when the portrait was authorized for use in the 1882 publication of her letters, Jane Austen had been dead for almost 70 years. So, the family members who asserted that the painting was Jane had never actually seen her themselves. They couldnt have known for certain if the portrait was of Austen or not.
首先,当奥斯汀家族在1882年授权在她书信集中使用这幅肖像画的时候,简奥斯汀已经过时差不多70年了。所以,声称画中人物是简奥斯汀的家庭成员其实从来没有见过她本人。他们其实不能确信这幅画是不是奥斯汀。
Second, the portrait could very well be that of a relative of Austens, a fact that would explain the resemblance between its subject and that of Cassandras sketch. The extended Austen family was very large and many of Jane Austens female cousins were teenagers in the relevant period or had children who were teenagers. And some of these teenage girls could have resembled Jane Austen. In fact, many experts believe that the true subject of the portrait was one of those relatives, Marianne Kempian, who was a distant niece of Austens
第二,至于为什么这幅画上人物同卡桑德拉画的那副长得很像,可以解释为这幅上上的任务是简奥斯汀的一个亲人。奥斯汀家族非常庞大,在画作成画时期,很多简奥斯汀的堂姐妹还是十几岁的年纪,或者她堂姐妹的孩子是十几岁。这些女孩子们很多跟简奥斯汀长得很像。事实上,很多专家认为这幅画中的人物实际上是这些人之一。她叫玛丽安 凯佩恩,是简奥斯汀的一个远方侄女。
