00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.185
It is being lauded as the exhibition of the century. 
它被譽為世紀之展，

2
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:10.999
London's National Gallery is making history this week as it opens the most comprehensive display of Leonardo da Vinci works ever seen.
倫敦國家藝廊本週寫下歷史，有史以來蒐羅最完整李奧納多‧達文西作品的展覽在此開幕了。

3
00:00:11.277 --> 00:00:15.737
Each night this week, we'll be bringing you special reports on this major coup for the art world. 
本週每個晚上，我們都將為您帶來特別報導，介紹這場藝文界的重大成就。

4
00:00:16.217 --> 00:00:20.239
Tonight, Nick Glass begins our coverage with a rare look at the centerpiece of the show, 
今晚，尼克‧格萊斯要為我們的報導揭開序幕，難能可貴地一睹展覽的焦點，

5
00:00:20.693 --> 00:00:23.751
a long-lost da Vinci known as a "Salvator Mundi."
也就是一幅失傳已久的達文西作品，他所畫的「救世主」。

6
00:00:47.936 --> 00:00:51.245
Is this the most thrilling art discovery of our time? 
這是我們當代最令人激動的藝術發現嗎？

7
00:00:52.040 --> 00:01:01.617
A Leonardo painting of Jesus Christ, the first discovered Leonardo to be accepted by scholars in over a century.
一幅達文西畫的耶穌像，是一個世紀以來首件尋獲的達文西作品獲得學者認可。

8
00:01:02.091 --> 00:01:09.263
This is the art historical equivalent of a gold medal, and like many gold medalists, they don't repeat their achievements, 
這相當於藝術史中的金牌，和許多金牌選手一樣，他們不會複製他們的成就，

9
00:01:09.355 --> 00:01:12.039
and I don't... I'm not expecting to, either.
而我不……我也不期待這會再發生。

10
00:01:14.259 --> 00:01:23.375
Five hundred years ago, when Leonardo painted his Christ, Manhattan was little more than forest and wetland. Of course, it's changed a little since then. 
五百年前，當達文西畫他的基督像時，曼哈頓幾乎只是一片叢林和溼地，當然之後有了一些改變。

11
00:01:26.628 --> 00:01:32.537
And it's where, two months ago at a secret location, we were privileged to be among the first to see the painting.
兩個月前，就在曼哈頓裡一個秘密的地點，我們很榮幸成為第一批目睹此畫作的人。

12
00:01:35.094 --> 00:01:38.861
We were also extremely lucky to see the painting before it was covered by glass. 
我們同時也非常幸運，能在畫作被玻璃蓋住之前欣賞它。

13
00:01:41.187 --> 00:01:44.820
Jesus Christ looks directly back at us and beyond us. 
耶穌直視回望著我們，在我們之上照看著我們。

14
00:01:46.032 --> 00:01:50.688
Like the few others who'd seen him, we felt he had a spiritual presence.
和那些少數其他已經看過他的人一樣，我們覺得他有一種神聖的存在感。

15
00:01:54.333 --> 00:02:00.740
And he'd been transformed. This is how he looked in a black-and-white photograph from the early 1900s.
他曾經過改變。這是他在一九○○年代初期一張黑白照片中的模樣。

16
00:02:01.570 --> 00:02:09.408
In his research, Robert Simon, who's well-connected in the art world, discovered that the image had been very popular during and after Leonardo. 
與藝術圈關係良好的羅伯特‧賽門在他的研究中發現，這個形像在達文西在世和他死後的時期都十分普遍。

17
00:02:09.768 --> 00:02:15.319
He tracked down some 20 versions of varying quality, evidently copies of a masterwork. 
他追溯了二十個品質不一的版本，顯然皆是模仿某大師傑作的翻版。

18
00:02:16.786 --> 00:02:25.269
But what was intriguing about this painting was that the artist had done something copyists don't do. He changed his mind about the detail.
但這幅畫最耐人尋味的，是這位畫家做了模仿者不會做的事，他在細部改變了想法。

19
00:02:26.752 --> 00:02:30.640
The word in Italian is pentimento, a change of heart.
這個字在義大利文是pentimento，意思是改變心意。

20
00:02:34.340 --> 00:02:37.968
There was a kind of a crucial moment, and that was when a pentimento was discovered. 
有一種關鍵的時刻，就是發現「原畫重現」的時候。

21
00:02:38.753 --> 00:02:45.624
And it really had to do with, at this spot here, this thumb. The artist had originally positioned the thumb at a different angle.
實際上是和這裡這個地方有關，這隻拇指。畫家原本把拇指放在不同的角度。

22
00:02:46.434 --> 00:02:48.827
The art dealer wrestled with his thoughts.
這位藝術經紀人內心交戰。

23
00:02:49.598 --> 00:02:57.428
In this kind of internal dialectic, an argument with oneself, really understanding the reason for it, is that Leonardo painted it. 
在這種內在辨證中，也就是與自己的爭辯，確實去理解其中的道理，會認為它是達文西畫的。

24
00:02:57.889 --> 00:03:00.890
And it was a very frightening moment, actually. 
那其實是一個非常震攝人心的時刻。

25
00:03:00.941 --> 00:03:08.089
The presence of the pentimento was for me, really the very convincing bit of physical evidence that was indeed the autograph painting.
「原畫重現」的存在對我來說，真的是一個非常具有說服力的具體證據，意味著那是一幅原畫真跡。

26
00:03:08.532 --> 00:03:11.421
This was the moment when hopes increased dramatically. 
那是個希望大大提高的一刻。

27
00:03:12.235 --> 00:03:19.598
In 2008, the painting was taken to the National Gallery in London, and a group of Leonardo specialists gave their blessing.
二○○八年，這幅畫被送到倫敦的國家藝廊，一群達文西專家恩許認可了。

28
00:03:20.259 --> 00:03:22.637
You have academic scholars from Italy, from Oxford... 
你找了來自義大利、牛津的學者……

29
00:03:22.676 --> 00:03:22.914
Yes.
是的。

30
00:03:23.430 --> 00:03:29.147
... standing in front of what we now know to be a discovered Leonardo. What was said? How did they react?
……站在一幅我們現在知道是被尋獲的達文西作品前，他們說了什麼？他們的反應是什麼？

31
00:03:30.192 --> 00:03:40.883
Well, they... seriously, if they had the kind of eureka moment, they...  I think each kept it to himself. 
他們……說真的，如果他們有那種終於發現的片刻，他們……我想每個人都保留沒說。

32
00:03:41.501 --> 00:03:49.355
It had the... , you know, perhaps the tenor of a group of specialist surgeons around a patient. 
那有種……你知道，或許像一群圍在患者旁的專門外科醫師的感覺。

33
00:03:49.634 --> 00:03:54.462
So, I don't think... and perhaps with the patient in the middle of the room, one didn't want to say too much.
因此，我不認為……或許因為患者在房中，誰都不想多言。
