The 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta is being marked with a fancy new £2 coin - but an expert has claimed the Royal Mint has ruined the design with a factually dodgy image. 为纪念英国《大宪章》签署八百周年，英国推出了别致的新版两英镑硬币。但有专家称，皇家铸币局（Royal Mint）用不符合史实的图案毁了这一设计。 The coin shows King John signing the document - which was issued by him in 1215 and stated that everyone had the right to a fair trial and that nobody, including royalty, were above the law - with a quill but according to Dr Marc Morris that notion is absurd as the monarch would have used a royal seal...and probably would have got one of his minions to do it. 这枚硬币上展示的是约翰王手拿羽毛签署《大宪章》的图样，但是根据马克·莫里斯博士（Marc Morris）所言，这样的描绘是很荒谬的，因为约翰王应当使用皇家印章盖章……也有可能会让仆从替他盖章。（约翰王1215年颁布的《大宪章》宣称，每个人都有获得公正审判的权利，包括皇室成员在内的任何人都无法凌驾于法律之上。） In fact the Middle Ages expert was so incensed with the historical foolery he even went so far as to reconstruct the momentous occasion using Playmobil figures. 事实上，这位研究中世纪时期的专家对这一愚弄历史的行为十分愤怒，他甚至用摩比人（Playmobil）玩具还原了这一重要时刻。 |
