I decided, with some researchers from the United States and the University of Florence, to start probing the murals decorated by Vasari on the long walls of the Hall of the 500 searching for the lost Leonardo. 我决定,加入一个由美国学者 和佛罗伦萨大学共同发起的研究团队,深入探究那些 由瓦萨里主持装饰在500人大厅墙上的壁画 搜索莱昂纳多达芬奇丢失的作品。

of the Sala Grande. We also found out about the height of the ceiling, and we managed to reconstruct, therefore, all the layout of this original hall the way it was before there came Vasari, and restructured the whole thing, including a staircase that was very important in order to precisely place "The Battle of Anghiari" 存在于萨拉格兰德墙上的。不仅如此我们还测出了 最初天花板的高度,经过我们的不懈努力, 最终,我们找出了瓦萨里改造之前 500人大厅的原始规划与布局 并且成功的重现了这一切 包括一个非常重要的扶梯 此扶梯是当时为了准确安放““安吉亚里之战”

colleague:n.同事,同僚;
came back just since we knew already where to look for to find out if there was still something left. 已经是胸有成竹,我们知道这次该去哪找, 找出那里究竟还有什么。
Well, we were confined though, limited , I should rather say, for several reasons that it's not worth explaining, to endoscopy only, of the many other options we had, and with a 4mm camera attached to it, we were successful in documenting and taking some fragments of what it turns out to be a reddish color, black color, and there is some beige fragments that later on we ran a much more sophisticated exams, 但是我们遇到各种刁难,或者说被限制 因为一些根本不值得解释的原因 虽然我们有很多其他选择,却只能使用内镜检查技术 通过一个4毫米镜头来窥视, 我们最终还是成功的证明 并且发现一些彩色的碎片 包括淡红色碎片,黑色碎片 一些米黄色碎片随后也被发现 我们立刻对这些碎片展开了更多复杂的检验

XRF, X-ray diffraction , and the results are very positive so far. It seems to indicate that indeed we have found some pigments , and since we know for sure that no other artist has painted on that wall before Vasari came in about 60 years later, well, 包括射线荧光光谱,X光射线衍射,最终的结果对于我们的推测非常有利 至此,我们认为这个现象指出 我们确实找到了一些颜料,而且我们能肯定 没有其他的艺术家曾经在这张墙上作画 直到大约六十年后瓦萨里来到这里,所以,

And — (Laughter) — no problem, but, unfortunately, continuing with the scientific examination of this painting came out that Rafael did not paint the unicorn, 然后,毫无疑问,但是,不幸的是 对这幅画的进一步科学检验得出的结论是 拉斐尔并没有画独角兽
scientific:adj.科学的,系统的;
did not paint the puppy dog, actually left the painting unfinished, so all this writing about the exotic symbol of the unicorn — (Laughter) — unfortunately, is not very reliable . (Laughter) 也没有画小狗,事实上这是一幅 未完成的作品,于是乎所有关于这个奇异的独角兽的一切 天马行空的想象 很不幸 都不是很可靠。

There are a lot of laymen reconstructing from the ruins of an old temple a new temple, and there are a lot of figures showing up. See? 不错吧？不仅如此只要你想, 我们可以继续在它上面寻找,比如,举个例子, 在楼梯那个例子里,整个图解都会被 改变。那里有很多外行人也可以再现出 来自旧神庙废墟的新神庙, 而且可以看到很多人影出现了。看吧？
