Here's the truth behind everything pop culture got wrong about Pocahontas.
以下是流行文化对波卡洪塔斯误解背后的真相
WRONG: "Pocahontas fell in love with English colonist John Smith."
错误:“波卡洪塔斯爱上了英国殖民者约翰·史密斯
In this historical take on a "princess" movie, Pocahontas falls in love with Englishman John Smith.
在这部历史题材的《公主》电影中,波卡洪塔斯爱上了英国人约翰·史密斯
Though the two did meet in real life, sparks didn't fly.
虽然两人确实在现实生活中见过面,但并没有擦出火花
Smith was 27 years old, and Pocahontas was 10 or 11.
史密斯27岁,波卡洪塔斯10或11岁
Needless to say, the animated feature took some liberties, aging up Pocahontas so her romance with Smith was age-appropriate.
不用说,这部动画片做了一些自由发挥,让波卡洪塔斯变老,所以她与史密斯的浪漫符合年龄的
DUBIOUS: "Pocahontas saved John Smith's life."
可疑的:“波卡洪塔斯救了约翰·史密斯的命
The New World shows Pocahontas placing her head between Smith's and a rock about to come bearing down it.
《新世界》显示,波卡洪塔斯把头放在史密斯的头和一块即将压下来的石头之间
This scene is straight from the real John Smith's writings, but many historians doubt his life was ever in danger.
这一场景直接来自约翰·史密斯的真实作品,但许多历史学家怀疑他的生命是否曾处于危险之中
It's likely that this was a ritual to show Smith that he was safe with the tribe--and possibly even integrated as a member.
这很可能是一种仪式,目的是向史密斯表明,他在部落中是安全的--甚至可能成为部落的一员
And one more bonus historical inaccuracy: like the Disney version, this film also shows Pocahontas and Smith beginning an alleged romance.
还有一个额外的历史错误:与迪士尼版本一样,这部电影也显示了波卡洪塔斯和史密斯开始一段所谓的爱情
WRONG: "John Smith saved Pocahontas from a vengeful English colonist."
错误:“约翰·史密斯从一个复仇的英国殖民者手中拯救了波卡洪塔斯
This one tells us right away that it's about the "legend" of Pocahontas, not the historical facts.
这本书直接告诉我们,它是关于波卡洪塔斯的“传说”,而不是历史事实
When a rival English colonist threatens Pocahontas, Smith saves her at the expense of his relationship with her tribe.
当一个敌对的英国殖民者威胁到波卡洪塔斯时,史密斯以牺牲与她部落的关系为代价救了她
Not only is this specific conflict imaginary, but Pocahontas wasn't spared from the harmful effects of colonization at all.
这场特定的冲突不仅是虚构的,而且波卡洪塔斯根本没有幸免于殖民的有害影响
She lived years in captivity at an English settlement in North America, was converted to Christianity, and married an Englishman.
她在北美的一个英国殖民地被囚禁了多年,皈依了基督教,并嫁给了一个英国人
Brought to England in 1616 and paraded in front of the royal courts as a novelty, Pocahontas fell ill and died before she was able to return home.
波卡洪塔斯于1616年被带到英国,作为一件新奇的东西在皇家宫廷前游行,但她在回家之前就病倒了,去世了
