Hello and welcome to Horrible Histories.
在本节目中 我们可以暂时忘记
The show that lets us, for a moment,
现在身处的这个疯狂世界
forget about the madness of the world around
而将目光转向
and focus instead
过去的人们身处的那个极度疯狂的世界
on the complete and utter madness of the world as it used to be.
恐怖的都铎王朝
沃辛厄姆 你怎么了
Wolsingham, what happened to you?
女王又朝我扔拖鞋了
The Queen threw a slipper at me, again!
你这次干什么了
What did you do this time?
我跟她说 她脾气不好
I told her she had a short temper.
你个傻缺 明知道一说这个她就发火
You idiot, you know that makes her angry.
可不是吗 你画完她的肖像没
I know. Have you finished her portrait yet?
差不多了 不过...
It's getting there, but...
我好害怕啊 她要是不喜欢怎么办
I'm petrified, what if she doesn't like it?
那你最好祈祷她当时心情不错
Then you'd better hope she's in a good mood.
-她有心情好的时候吗 -没有
- Is she ever? - No.
我的肖像画呢
Where's my portrait?
无法直视 这太恐怖了
I can't look, it's grotesque!
鼻子硕大 一嘴烂牙 满脸是疤
The hideous nose, rotten teeth and pockmarked skin.
沃辛厄姆 把这画家拖出去砍了
Wolsingham, have that man relieved of the burden of his head!
陛下 您看的是一面镜子
Ma'am, you are looking into a mirror.
这才是您的肖像画
This is the portrait.
鼻子娇小 牙齿闪亮 肌肤白皙
Petite nose, perfect teeth, porcelain skin.
你是怎么捕捉到我这娇美容颜的
Why, however did you manage to capture my good looks?
女王陛下 我只是临摹了
Well, my lady, I just did an exact copy
您唯一喜欢的那幅肖像
of the only portrait you've ever liked.
-正如您吩咐的那样 -太棒了
- As per your order. - Splendid.
再画一幅
Do me another,
看你能不能再次捕捉到我的高贵优雅
and see if you can capture my regal beauty again.
我觉得这一点也不像她
I think it looks nothing like her.
我听见了
I heard that!
伊丽莎白一世的肖像均经过画家的美化
Elizabeth I very carefully stage-managed her image.
由于曾患天花和长♥期♥使用含铅化妆品
Her looks had been destroyed by smallpox scars
她的脸上满是疤痕 惨不忍♥睹
and the ravages of lead-based make-up,
所以她让画家临摹她早期的肖像画
so she issued facsimile portraits of herself from earlier years,
而不想让后世的人知道她真实的样子
rather than letting people see how she really looked.
伊丽莎白斥巨资赞助艺术创作
Elizabeth was a great patron of the arts,
在她统治时代的末期
and towards the end of her reign,
她成为了莎士比亚的铁杆粉丝
became a big fan of William Shakespeare.
主要原因是 莎士比亚也美化了她
Largely because he, too, made her look good.
尽管"奉承"一词并不是莎士比亚所造
Whilst Shakespeare may not have given us the word sycophantic,
但他显然深谙其意
he clearly understood the concept.
不过 许多的华美词藻
Though there are a great many words and phrases
都确实出自于这位大♥师♥的笔下
that the Bard can rightly call his own.
