4、的奥斯汀的画像是她妹妹卡桑德拉画的。 但是这幅成年奥斯汀素描并不是岀自于专业画家。然而，最近一副奥斯汀家族成员持有的画像想要岀售。这幅 岀自专业画家之手的全身画像上面是一个少女奥斯汀。尽管这幅专业画作上并没有写有简奥斯汀，但是我们还是有足够的理由相信画上的人就是她。First, i n 1882, several decades after Auste n' s death,Auste n' s family gave permissi on to use the portrait as aillustrati on in an editi on of her letters.

5、 Auste nclearly recog njzfecmtlyis a portrait of the author. So, for over acentury now, the Austen family itself has endorsed the claim that the girl in the portrait is Jane Austen.首先，在1882年，在奥斯汀去世几十年后，奥斯汀家族曾经授权这幅画作为她岀版的书信集上本人画像。奥 斯汀家族当然能够确认这幅画就是作者。所以，一个多世纪过去了，奥斯汀家族还是为这幅画背书，认为这个 女孩就是简奥斯汀本人。Second, t

The eyebrows, no se, mouth, and overall shape of the face are very much like those in the full-le ngth portrait.第二，这幅画上人物的面容和卡桑德拉画的那幅画很相似，而卡桑德拉的画作上的人物确定是奥斯汀。尽管卡桑德拉的画作略显业余，但是还是很好地描绘了奥斯汀面部的细节的。尽管卡桑德拉的画描绘的是成年简奥斯汀，但是面部细节还是同这幅画上少女奥斯汀非常相似的。眉毛、鼻子、嘴和整个轮廓都跟这幅全身画作非常相似。Thir

9、and early 1790s, exactly the period when Jane Austen was the age of the girl in the pain ti ng.第三，机关这幅画没有署名也没有日期，但是确信这幅画的绘制时间是奥斯汀少女时期。这幅画从风格上看 是奥扎厄斯 汉弗里的作品。他是一个专门受雇于奥斯汀这样富有家族的上流社会肖像画家。汉弗里活跃时期是 1780末到170年初，而这个时期恰好正是简奥斯汀十几岁的时期。托福TP012综合写作 阅读部分需要提取的观点是:-Main point:有一副画上面的人物是简奥斯汀-Sub poi nt 1:这幅画得到了奥斯汀家

The readi ng' s argume nts that the portrait is of Auste n are questi on able at best.所有证明这幅画上人物是简奥斯汀的证据都是不足信的。当然，这幅画长期以来同奥斯汀家族极其后代保持着某种意义上的联系。但是，这都不足以证明画中问人是少女简奥斯汀。First, when the portrait was authorized for use in the 1882 publication of her letters, J

They could n' t have known for certa in if the portrait was of Auste n or not.首先，当奥斯汀家族在1882年授权在她书信集中使用这幅肖像画的时候，简奥斯汀已经过时差不多70年了所以，声称画中人物是简奥斯汀的家庭成
