[伟大、著名以及不太著名之人的肖像。他们的 likeness 真的能真正流传给后代吗？] 注：原文中“likeness”在这里结合语境推测可能是“肖像”之类的意思，但单独这个词翻译较难精准，整体译文仅供参考。

[Portraits of people great and famous and not so famous. Is their likeness really truly handed down for posterity?].

Abstract

Basing on an extensive illustrative materials, a claim is made that portraits of people who entered the history of medicine, though imprinted firmly in our memory are not necessarily a reflection of their real likeness. This is evident in very diverse presentations of the same people by different artists as well as in an appearance of their first portraits in some cases several centuries after their deaths. Only the portraits and the sculptures made during their lifetime are regarded as credible by the author.

摘要

基于大量的说明性材料，有人提出这样一种观点：那些载入医学史册的人物肖像，尽管在我们的记忆中留下了深刻的印记，但不一定反映他们的真实相貌。这在不同艺术家对同一人物的各种不同描绘中很明显，而且在某些情况下，他们的第一幅肖像在其去世几个世纪后才出现。作者认为只有他们在世时创作的肖像和雕塑才是可信的。
