(Reuters) - Bite into "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson's past and what do you get? A blood-curdling connection to Dracula, the biggest vampire of them all.
路透洛杉矶6月23日电---研究一下《暮光之城》男星罗伯特・帕丁森的家族史，会有怎样的发现？答案就是他与最有名的吸血鬼“德古拉”是远房亲戚。
Genealogy web site Ancestry.com said on Wednesday that the British actor is distantly related to Vlad III Dracula -- the cruel 15th century ruler who inspired Bram Stoker's literary Count Dracula in 1897.
家谱网站Ancestry.com周三称，这位英国明星与15世纪残暴统治者弗拉德三世德古拉(Vlad III Dracula)系远亲。而布拉姆・斯托克（Bram Stoker）1897年所写知名吸血鬼小说就是以弗拉德三世为原型。
"Tracing Pattinson's family back to Vlad was difficult research, but the pieces that unraveled created the perfect accompaniment to 'The Twilight Saga'," said Anastasia Tyler, a genealogist at Ancestry.com.
Ancestry.com家谱研究者Anastasia Tyler称：“将帕丁森的家族追溯至弗拉德是一件非常困难的事情，但研究中发现的零星证据为《暮光之城》系列影片增添了完美的佐料。”
Pattinson plays love-sick vampire Edward Cullen in the smash hit film franchise based on the novels by Stephenie Meyer. The first two movies earned a combined $1.1 billion at world-wide box offices. The third film "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" opens on June 30.
帕丁森所拍吸血鬼系列影片《暮光之城》为作家Stephenie Meyer的同名小说改编。前两部影片《暮光之城》与《暮光之城2：新月》在全球共收获了11亿美元的票房。第三部《暮光之城3：月食》将于6月30日正式上映。
Family history experts said Pattinson and Vlad -- the Transylvania-born despot also known as Vlad the Impaler -- are likely related through today's British royal family.
家族史学专家称，帕丁森与弗拉德间的亲戚关系可能是通过当今英国王室建立起来的。
Pattinson, 24, is a distant cousin of Prince William and Prince Harry on their father's side, probably through the Pickering family who lived in northern England in the early 1500s, Ancestry.com said.
Ancestry.com称，24岁的帕丁森是英国威廉王子与哈里王子的远方堂兄弟，可能是通过16世纪初期居住于英格兰北部的Pickering家族建立联系。
"Without any myth or magic, we find royalty and vampires lurking in Pattinson's life -- making his story just as supernatural as the one he is playing on screen," Tyler said.
Tyler称：“没有任何虚构和魔法，我们发现藏于帕丁森人生中的皇室与吸血鬼成分，这让他的故事就像电影中呈现的一样神秘莫测。”
Pattinson isn't the only movie star whose past bears an eerie resemblance to his screen persona. Last year, Ancestry.com said that actress Emma Watson, who plays teen witch Hermione Granger in the "Harry Potter" movies, is related to a 16th century woman accused of witchcraft.
帕丁森可不是唯一一个在现实生活中和银幕形象有密切联系的明星。去年Ancestry.com就声称在《哈利波特》系列电影中扮演女巫赫敏·格兰杰的女演员艾玛·沃森，她们家16世纪有个先人就是因为施行巫术被判刑的。详见："赫敏"艾玛·沃 特森生来就有女巫血统？！ |
