He is literature’s most eligible bachelor: handsome, wealthy, and the inspiration for countless romantic spin-offs in the last 200 years.
他是文學作品中最令人中意的單身漢：帥氣又多金，而且是過去200年里無數(shù)浪漫的衍生作品的靈感來源。

Fans of the brooding Mr Darcy, then, may wish to look away now.
然而，如今這位憂傷的達西先生的粉絲們可能會希望轉(zhuǎn)移目光了。

For leading academics have researched how Mr Darcy was likely to really have looked, and the results are a far cry from the tall, dark and handsome leading man fans may have imagined.
因為知名學者們研究了達西先生真正的長相可能是什么樣的，結(jié)果表明他與粉絲想象中的高大、憂郁又帥氣的主角形象相差甚遠。

In fact, a real-life Mr Darcy of his day was more likely to have a long nose, pointed chin, powdered white hair and pale complexion, according to historians.
歷史學家指出，事實上，在他那個年代，現(xiàn)實生活中的達西先生更可能有著高高的鼻梁、尖尖的下巴、搽粉的白發(fā)以及蒼白的膚色。

The team, led by Professor John Sutherland, have now unveiled what they claim to be the "first historically accurate portrait" of Mr Darcy.
如今，約翰·薩瑟蘭教授領(lǐng)導的這個團隊揭示了他們自稱為達西先生“符合歷史依據(jù)的第一幅合格畫像”。

They did so by looking into the "scraps" of description that writer Jane Austen provided for her famous character, portrayed in countless TV adaptations of Pride And Prejudice.
他們通過研究作家簡·奧斯汀為她的著名角色提供的描述“片段”，以及無數(shù)《傲慢與偏見》的電視劇改編本中刻畫的形象“片段”，制作了這幅畫像。

Austen's relationships and the men who may have inspired her character and the socio-economic, cultural and lifestyle factors of the time were also factored in by the experts.
專家們還考慮了奧斯汀的人際關(guān)系、那位可能為她的角色提供靈感的男子、當時的社會經(jīng)濟、文化以及生活方式等因素。

The team subsequently concluded that, unlike Colin Firth and Matthew Macfadyen's depictions of Mr Darcy, he would have had slender, sloping shoulders and a modestly-sized chest. A muscular chest and broad shoulders would have been the sign of a labourer, not a gentleman, at the time.
這個團隊隨后推斷，達西先生不像科林·弗斯以及馬修·麥克法迪恩所刻畫的形象那樣，他應該有修長的斜肩，平坦的胸膛。在那個時候，肌肉發(fā)達的胸膛和寬闊的肩膀應該是一名工人的征兆，而不是一位紳士的形象。

His powdered mid-length white hair, meanwhile, would frame a long oval face and small mouth, a long nose, a pointy chin and a pale complexion.
同時，他那搽粉的中長白發(fā)會適合長長的鵝蛋臉，小巧的嘴巴、高高的鼻梁、尖尖的下巴以及蒼白的膚色。

"He is our most mysterious and desirable leading man of all time. What's fantastic about Jane Austen's writing is that Mr Darcy is both of the era and timeless."
“他一直是我們最神秘又有魅力的主角。簡·奧斯汀作品的奇妙之處就是達西先生既是那個時代的重要人物，也是永遠的主角?！?/div>
