　　BRITAIN"S Royal Collection Trust has gone Pop Art with the purchase of four famous Andy Warhol portraits of Queen Elizabeth II.
　　英国皇家收藏信托基金已经走向波普艺术，采购了安迪沃霍尔的四幅女王伊丽莎白二世的著名肖像版画。
　　The colorful screenprints are based on a formal photograph of the queen wearing a tiara and necklace that was used during her Silver Jubilee celebrations in 1977.
　　彩色丝网画是女王在她1977年“钻石庆典”时戴着头饰和项链的官方照片。
　　They will form part of the Portraits of a Monarch exhibit starting in November at Windsor Castle. The purchase was announced yesterday, but officials refused to say how much the portraits cost.
　　他们将构成11月温莎城堡的皇室肖像展的一部分。这次收购已于昨日公布，但官员拒绝说这些肖像花了多少钱。
　　The purchase brings the distinctive style of the American artist to a collection of portraits of British rulers that dates back to the 15th Century.
　　本次采购把这位美国艺术家的独特风格带到了那些可以追溯到15世纪的英国统治者的肖像集合。
　　"They are in a very interesting and contemporary technique that Andy Warhol really popularized, screenprinting with wonderfully vibrant colors, in multiples," said Royal Librarian Jane Roberts. "They join a collection dating back 4, 5, 600 years. The fact that they are in a completely new technique is not surprising; things change."
　　“他们处在一个非常有趣且现代的技术里，安迪沃霍尔真的很受欢迎，丝网画带着奇妙的充满活力的丰富色彩，”皇家图书馆馆长简罗伯茨说。“他们加入收藏可以追溯到4，5，600年。他们处于一个全新的技术里的事实并不令人吃惊，世事变迁。”
　　Roberts also said the queen had approved the purchase.
　　罗伯茨还表示女王已经批准了此次采购。
　　"The Warhol prints of the queen are in many ways the most important popular image of the queen to be created by an artist print maker over the last few decades," she said.
　　“沃霍尔的女王肖像版画在许多方面是艺术印刷商们在过去的几十年里要创建的关于女王的最重要的流行形象，”她说。
　　Warhol, who died in 1987, was one of the most commercially successful artists of the 20th Century and used similar techniques in portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy, and Elvis Presley. He created these images of the queen in 1985 as part of a portfolio of screenprints called "Reigning Queens."
　　沃霍尔，他于1987年去世，是20世纪的商业上最成功的艺术家之一，在杰奎琳肯尼迪，玛丽莲梦露和猫王的肖像中使用了类似的技术。他在1985年创造的女王图像被作为《在位女王》肖像版画的一部分。
