驚呆！ 蒙娜麗莎可能是中國人

Leonardo da Vinci's mother may have been a Chinese slave according to new research by an Italian historian and novelist.

根據(jù)一名意大利歷史學(xué)家和小說家的最新考證，列昂納多·達(dá)·芬奇的母親很可能是個(gè)中國奴隸。

Angelo Paratico has spent the last 20 years living and working in Hong Kong, researching the links between his homeland and China over the past half a millenium.

安吉洛·帕拉蒂科在過去的20年里一直居住在香港并在那里工作，他搜尋到了他的故鄉(xiāng)和中國在半個(gè)千禧年里發(fā)生的聯(lián)系。

Mr Paratico said documentation he has uncovered during two years of research forms the basis of his latest book Leonardo Da Vinci: A Chinese scholar lost in Renaissance Italy.

帕拉蒂科先生說，他兩年研究所揭露的文獻(xiàn)，都集合到了他的新書《列昂納多·達(dá)·芬奇：迷失于文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期意大利的中國學(xué)者》里。

The book, which is due to be published next year, uncovers evidence, Mr Paratico claims, that links Da Vinci and the Far East.

帕拉蒂科先生聲稱，這本將要在明年出版的新書發(fā)現(xiàn)了達(dá)芬奇和遠(yuǎn)東之間的聯(lián)系。

Speaking to the South China Morning Post, Mr Paratico said: 'I am sure up to a point that Leonardo's mother was from the Orient, but to make her an oriental Chinese, we need to use a deductive method.'

在《南方早報(bào)》的采訪中，帕拉蒂科先生說道：“我很肯定在一定程度上，列昂納多的母親來自東方，但是要證明她是個(gè)地地道道的中國人，我們需要用演繹推斷法。”

'One wealthy client of Leonardo's father had a slave called Caterina. After 1452, Leonardo's date of birth, she disappeared from the documents. She was no longer working there.'

“列昂納多父親的一位富有的客戶有一名名叫卡特琳娜的奴隸。1452年列昂納多出生后，她從文件中消失了。她不再在那里工作。”
 

Da Vinci's father was legal notary and it is believed his mother was called Caterina, who according to some reports, was a local peasant.

根據(jù)一些報(bào)告顯示，達(dá)芬奇的父親有法律公正人——一位當(dāng)?shù)氐霓r(nóng)民可以證明達(dá)芬奇的母親就叫卡特琳娜。

But Mr Paratico's new work claims it is most likely Da Vinci's mother was a slave.

但是帕拉蒂特先生的新發(fā)現(xiàn)證明，達(dá)芬奇的母親很有可能是個(gè)奴隸。

Supporting his theory, Mr Paratico said: 'During the Renaissance, countries like Italy and Spain were full of oriental slaves.'

為了支撐他的理論，帕拉蒂特先生說道：“在文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期，像意大利和西班牙這樣的國家大街上都是東方奴隸。”

He claimed that there were certain aspects of Da Vinci's life and work suggest an oriental link.

他聲稱達(dá)芬奇的生平和工作的某些方面正暗示著這份東方聯(lián)系。

He added: 'For instance, the fact he was writing with his left hand from left to right... and he was also a vegetarian which was not common. Mona Lisa is probably a portrait of his mother, as Sigmund Freud said in 1910. On the back of Mona Lisa, there is a Chinese landscape and even her face looks Chinese.'

他補(bǔ)充道：“舉個(gè)例子，他是個(gè)左撇子并從左往右書寫……而且他還是個(gè)素食主義者，這在當(dāng)時(shí)并不常見。如同1910年西格蒙德·弗洛伊德所說的，蒙娜麗莎很有可能是他母親的畫像。蒙娜麗莎的背后有中國的山水背景，而且她的臉看上去也像個(gè)中國人。”

Mr Paratico said he believes the only way to solve the mystery is to exhume some of Da Vinci's relations in Florence and extract some DNA.

帕拉蒂科先生說，他相信解開這個(gè)謎團(tuán)的唯一途徑是找到達(dá)芬奇的一些在弗洛倫撒的親戚，然后提取DNA進(jìn)行鑒定。
