《最后的晚餐》中食物不斷增加

A pair of US academics have analysed 52 of the most famous paintings of the Last Supper painted between 1000 and 2000 -- and discovered that, over that period, the portions of food placed before Jesus and his disciplesgrew astonishingly.

　　近日，美國兩位學者對1000年至2000年間繪制的52幅以“最后的晚餐”為主題的著名畫作進行分析比較后發(fā)現(xiàn)，在這一時期內(nèi)，畫中擺放在耶穌和他的信徒面前的食物份量不斷增加。

　　Using computer-aided design technology, they scanned the main dish, bread and plates and calculated the size of portion relative to the size of the average head in the painting.

　　研究人員采用電腦設計技術對畫中的主菜、面包和餐盤進行了掃描，并計算出食物的尺寸與畫中人物頭的尺寸之間的比例。

　　Over a thousand years, the size of the main dish progressively grew by 69.2 per cent, plate size by 65.6 percent and bread size by 23.1 percent, they found.

　　研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，在這一千多年間，畫中的主菜、餐盤和面包的尺寸分別增加了69.2%、65.6%和23.1%。
