英國王妃凱特竟是簡·奧斯汀遠房親戚
劍橋公爵夫人凱特·密爾頓無論隨時隨地，在公衆的眼前都能顯示出在“理智與情感”雙方面的良好修養，也許這是因爲這種氣質與生俱來便流淌在她的血液之中。
Prince William's wife has been revealed as a distant relation of British novelist Jane Austen according to genealogy website .
根據一家名爲Ancestry的家族宗譜網站的發現，原來威廉王子的嬌妻還是英國著名女小說家簡·奧斯汀的遠房親戚。
The newest member of the Royal family, and the novelist are 11th cousins, six times removed. They share a common 15th century ancestor: Henry Percy, who was the 2nd Earl of Northumberland.
這位最新加入英國皇室的成員與這位著名的小說家之間是遠方表親的關係，“他們都有着共同的一個祖先——生活在15世紀的亨利·珀希，也就是諾森伯蘭伯爵二世。”
The family history research website said the connection was fitting given Austen's many female characters who fall in love with, or aspire to marry, men of higher rank.
這家家譜研究網站表示，簡·奧斯汀筆下衆多的小說中女性角色都愛上了，或者渴望與權勢社會等級更高的男性結爲夫婦，這樣的聯繫便在凱特的身上再次體現出來。
Kate, 29, a commoner with no aristocratic background, married Prince William - second in line to the British throne - in April after a nine-year romance.
芳齡29歲得凱特出生平民，並沒有貴族的血統背景，在與具有第二順位王室繼承權威廉王子相戀9年零4個月後，終於喜結連理。
'Finding this connection between the Duchess of Cambridge and Jane Austen is very exciting since, in many ways, Catherine is the modern Jane Austen heroine: a middle class girl marrying the future King of England,' said Anastasia Harman, lead family historian for .
“我們發現了劍橋公爵夫人與著名小說家簡·奧斯汀之間的血緣關係，這點非常令人興奮。從很多角度上來說，凱特便是奧斯汀小說中女性主人公的現代版本：一箇中產階級的女孩嫁給了未來的英國國王。”Ancestry網站的歷史學家Anastasia Harman這樣說道。
'Jane Austen may have written about happily-ever-after but it seems Catherine has found a nonfiction hero to spend her life with - far past the epilogue,' Harman added.
“簡·奧斯汀寫過了不少有着完滿幸福結局的故事，而凱特似乎也在現實生活中找到了可以與之共度餘生的男主角。”Harman說。
Born in England in 1775, Jane Austen is one of the best-known novelists and social satirists in the world with works like 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Emma' and 'Persuasion.'
簡·奧斯汀在1775年出生於英格蘭，是最富盛名的小說家之一，同時也是社會諷刺作家，她的《傲慢與偏見》、《愛嗎》、《勸導》等小說獲得了世界讀者的熱愛。
She never married.
