An unprecedented insight into the private life of Audrey Hepburn has been revealed thanks to the sale of intimate letters written by the screen siren.由于荧屏美女奥黛丽·赫本的私人信件出售，其私生活的一些面貌得以前所未有地展现在世人面前。
The never-seen-before correspondence from the actress to her mentor Sir Felix Aylmer during her rise to international fame have come to light.这些之前未公开的信件开始为人所知。它们是赫本在国际上享有名声前写给导师费利克斯·艾尔默爵士的。
Hepburn penned the personal notes during the formative years of her life as she went from an unknown actress to one of Hollywood's greatest icons.这些私人信件写于赫本从无名演员成长为好莱坞顶级巨星之一的重要几年。
The ten letters were sent by Hepburn to the British actor, her mentor and confidant, between 1951 and 1960.在1951年至1960年间，赫本向她的导师、同时也是蓝颜知己的英国演员寄出了十封信。

They document the star's rollercoaster life and her personal highs and lows, including her first failed engagement.这些信记录了赫本大起大落的人生，她个人的起起伏伏，其中还有她第一桩失败的婚姻。
Sir Felix helped to kick-start Hepburn's career when he agreed to give her acting and elocution lessons as she tried to establish herself in West End theatre productions.当初赫本努力在西区剧院出品的电影中扎根锻造，费力克斯爵士同意在表演和演说上给赫本指导，这帮助她开启了荧屏生涯。
The pair formed a relationship that developed into a lifelong friendship, and as her career took off Hepburn wrote letters and sent postcards to Sir Felix from film sets.赫本与费力克斯建立起了终生的友情。而在赫本事业蒸蒸日上时，她写信给爵士费力克斯，并在电影剧组给他寄明信片。
Experts say the notes, which are being sold by Sir Felix's family for the first time, offer a unique window into the life of the notoriously private star.这些信件首次被爵士费力克斯的家人出售。专家称，它们为人们提供了一个独特的视角去了解这位私生活极其保密的明星。
Hepburn also wrote to Sir Felix in 1960 when her son Sean was born.1960年赫本的儿子西恩出生时，她还给对方写了信。
She wrote afterwards: 'Sean is truly a dream, and I find it hard to believe he is ours to keep. I long to show him to you.'她写道：“西恩的出生完全像场梦。我现在还不太相信我有儿子了。我希望能让他和您见上一面。”
The archive is tipped to fetch £4,000 when it goes under the hammer at London auction house Bonhams. The sale also includes an original image, signed by photographer Terry O'Neill, of Hepburn in 1967 lounging in the pool in a yellow bikini, which is expected to reach £2,000.这份信件档案最终在邦瀚斯伦敦拍卖行以4000英镑竞拍价成交。此次出售还包括了一张有摄影师泰瑞·奥尼尔签名的原片。那是张1967年赫本穿着一身黄色比基尼在泳池里拍下的照片，预计值2000英镑。
