据英国报道，近日，一幅罕见的油画在网上热传，该幅油画以细腻的笔触描绘了103位世界名人。
An extraordinary oil painting depicting 103 historical figures in striking detail has become the latest internet sensation, The Daily Telegraph reports.
这幅长6米宽2.6米的油画还包括了很多世界名胜，如中国的长城，埃及的金字塔，和英国的史前巨石阵。
The 6m by 2.6m painting also includes "world landmarks" like the Great Wall of China, the Egyptian pyramids, and Stonehenge.
画布上，前苏联领导人约瑟夫斯大林与达芬奇正在深入交谈。
On the canvas, Josef Stalin and Leonardo da Vinci are deep in conversation.
弗拉基米尔普京挨着麦克泰森席地而坐，而玛格丽特撒切尔夫人抓着她的手提包，神情高傲的注视着一切。
Vladimir Putin rests his legs next to a sprawled-out Mike Tyson, while Margaret Thatcher -- clutching her handbag -- looks on with disdain.
油画中有很多中国人。
Many of the figures in the painting are Chinese.
中国伟大领袖毛主席在油画最中间的一个圆桌旁抽烟，而周恩来总理就站在他的身后。
Chairman Mao Zedong appears smoking by a round table in the center, with Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai standing behind him.
“一代天骄”成吉思汗骑在马上与拿破仑并驾齐驱。
Mongolian conqueror Genghis Khan is riding a horse opposite Napoleon.
中国的唐代诗人李白，躺在一把椅子上仰天长叹，像是喝醉了，在他的面前，则有一个精致的酒杯和一台打字机。
Ancient Chinese poet Li Bai is sprawled on a chair, seemingly drunk, with a delicate wine cup and a typewriter in front of him.
此外，还有一些为人所熟知的面孔：前中国领袖邓小平，古哲学家孔子，中国新民主主义的领头人孙中山，国民党领袖蒋介石和中国第一位帝王秦始皇。
Other Chinese faces that are instantly recognizable are former Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, the ancient philosopher Confucius, the initiator of China's democratic revolution, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Kuomintang leader Chiang Kai-shek, and the first Chinese emperor, Qin Shihuang.
现代的中国名人有著名作家鲁迅，当代媒体大亨邵逸夫，艺术家齐白石，功夫明星李小龙和110米栏选手刘翔。
Modern Chinese figures include renowned writer Lu Xun, contemporary media mogul Run Run Shaw, artist Qi Baishi, Kung Fu star Bruce Lee, and hurdler Liu Xiang.
据报道，很多网友竞相留言辨认油画上的每一个名人。
Message boards have erupted with contests to identify every person featured, according to The Daily Telegraph.
然而，油画的作者是谁仍然是个迷，但作者似乎是从拉斐尔的名著《雅典学派》中获得了灵感。
An element of mystery also surrounds the origins of the painting, which appears to have been inspired by Raphael's Renaissance fresco, "The School of Athens".
但是在拉斐尔的画作中，大部分都是古代哲学家，这似乎和这幅画作中的人物没有一丝关系。在这幅油画中，历史巨人拿破仑和现代戴眼镜的成功人士比尔－盖茨坐在一起。
While the figures in Raphael's painting were all ancient philosophers, there appears to be little connecting the characters in this work, which includes historical giants like Napoleon alongside Bill Gates, the bespectacled face of modern success.
但是还是有一些眼睛锐利的网友发现了一些线索，根据画作中的对一些人和地点的描绘，有人猜测这幅画的作者是一个中国人。
But eagle-eyed observers have spotted clues as to the painting's provenance in some of the people depicted, and some people guess the painter may be Chinese.
线索来自于这幅画的右上角有三位身着现代衣服的中国人，很多网友没能辨认出他们身份。知道最近，才有网友辨认出这三人分别是中国美术家协会理事戴都都、当代著名油画家李铁子以及张安君。
A clue comes from three undistinguished men in contemporary dress surveying the scene from behind a wall at the top right of the picture. Internet detectives have identified these three as the little-known Chinese artists Dai Dudu, Li Tiezi, and Zhang An.
这幅画被命名为“与但丁讨论神曲”，创作完成于2006年，但最近才收到人们的关注。
They created this oil painting - "Discussing the Divine Comedy with Dante" - in 2006, though it has only become a hit ever since the past few weeks.
阿尔斯泰 苏克，《每日电讯报》的艺术编辑说，这幅油画反映出了当代中国艺术家适应西方艺术风格和主题的趋势。
Alastair Sooke, the art writer for The Daily Telegraph, says the work reflects a trend of contemporary Chinese artists adopting Western styles and subjects.
“但但丁带领我们看的是深层的‘阴间地狱’，这幅画却引领着现代的人们欣赏‘名人天堂’。”
"But the Dante reference makes us wonder whether we are looking at some nether-circle deep inside the Inferno: this is a vision of Celebrity Hell," he added.
