Florence Nightingale photograph on view
LONDON (Reuters) - A previously unknown photograph of British nurse Florence Nightingale went on display on Monday at an exhibition dedicated to the woman whose work with wounded soldiers during the Crimean War made her a household name.
8月7日，英国“护理学先驱”弗罗伦斯·南丁格尔一张此前不为人知的珍贵照片正在伦敦被展出。南丁格尔因在克里米亚战争中护理伤员护理而家喻户晓。
The portrait of the pioneer nurse sitting under the shade of a tree reading was discovered in an album of pictures taken in the mid-19th century by William Slater, and was shot during one of only eight known photographic sittings by Nightingale.
这张南丁格尔在树荫下读书的照片是在摄影师威廉·斯莱特19世纪中期拍摄的一本相册中被发现的。这张照片也是目前所发现的南丁格尔的第8张照片。
The beneficiaries of Slater's last descendant left the album to the Florence Nightingale Museum in London, where the photograph is on display until November 7.
伦敦弗罗伦斯·南丁格尔博物馆从摄影师斯莱特的后代那里得到了这本相册。弗罗伦斯·南丁格尔博物馆目前正在展出这张新发现的南丁格尔照片，展出将持续到11月7日。
The museum (www.florence-nightingale.co.uk) said Nightingale was reluctant to be photographed for religious reasons and because she was worried personal fame might hinder her work in public health.
该博物馆介绍说，出于宗教原因南丁格尔不太愿意拍照，此外她还担心个人荣誉会阻碍她为公共卫生事业工作。
The black-and-white image was taken in 1858, when Nightingale was 37 or 38 and already famous in Britain for her work in Crimea.
这张黑白照片摄于1858年，南丁格尔时年约37岁或38岁，她因在克里米亚战争中的护理工作而成为当时英国的名人。
She is widely known as "The Lady With the Lamp" because of a poem that used the phrase and images of her carrying a lamp and tending wounded soldiers.
南丁格尔有着“提灯女神”的美誉，因为有首诗和照片描述了她提着一盏油灯巡视伤员的情景。
