梵高

　　He may not have chopped off his own ear.

　　他可能没有割掉自己的耳朵。

　　We know, we know. How do we even begin to comprehend a world in which van Gogh that didn't cut off his own ear and deliver it to a lady named Rachel?

　　我们知道，我们知道。假设梵高没有割掉自己的耳朵并给了一个叫瑞秋的女人，我们又是如何开始去理解在这个世界里的梵高的。

　　Well, Hamburg-based historians Hans Kaufmann and Rita Wildegans insist that Vincent van Gogh may have made the whole thing up to protect the real culprit, his friend Paul Gauguin, who could have chopped it off during an argument.

　　然而，汉堡历史学家Hans Kaufmann和Rita Wildegans坚持认为梵高可能掩盖了事实去为真正的罪犯辩护，就是他的朋友保罗·高更，也许是在他们的一次争执中割掉了梵高的耳朵。

　　Evidence backing this claim includes a letter van Gogh wrote to Gauguin, which reads: "I will keep quiet about this and so will you."

　　支撑这一说法的证据来源于一封梵高写给高更的信，信上说：“我将会保守秘密，你也是。”
