<正> 18世纪英国文豪哥德斯密(Oliver Gold- smith)的小说《维克裴牧师传》(The VicarOf Wakefield)第16章中有这么一个句子: As for our neighbour’s family,there were seven ofthem,and they were drawn with seven oranges,…伍光建译为: 我们邻居家里共有七口,画了七张,每人手上都拿了一个桔,……[注]说的是牧师与邻居斗富,请一个行脚画师来家画象(当时尚无摄影,画象就等于现在的照相)。牧师家贫,为了省钱,画了一幅“全家福”。邻居富有,家中七人每人单独画一张肖象,共有七张。
