主题：萨达姆替身知多少?(英汉)

A scientific study of 450 photographs of him has concluded that the Iraqi President has used at least three body doubles to make public appearances on his behalf since 1998．The German television network ZDF, working with a German coroner, took archival photographs and film clips of the leader and used facial recognition technology to determine whether the men said to be him were look－alikes． “In the film sequences since 1998 only the doubles appear, “ said Dieter Buhmann, a Hamburg coroner． “He himself has not been seen again．” “It was a practice started for security reasons because Saddam travelled a lot at the time and had contact with the public, “said the former intelligence official, now a member of the opposition living abroad． ZDF said it was difficult to tell which were the doubles and which was the real Saddam．Minor details, such as the size of the ears, hands and shape of the shoulders, gave the look－alikes away, it said． “They have apparently undergone surgery to appear to look like the statesman, “ZDF said． “The doubles have mastered Saddam’s gestures and perfectly mimic Saddam, with only tiny details separating them from the real Saddam Hussein．”

一个对450张萨达姆本人照片的科学研究得出结论：这位伊拉克总统自1998年以来至少有3个替身代替他出现在公开场合。德国ZDF电视网根据一个德国法医的研究, 通过对存档照片以及胶片片段的对比, 并运用脸部识别技术来判断那个自称是萨达姆的人是否只是他的替身。汉堡的一位法医迪特尔·比曼称： “根据照片的先后顺序, 自1998年以来出现的只是他的替身, 他本人再没有露过面。” 伊拉克前情报官员, 现居住于国外的一个反对派人士说： “出于安全考虑, 这种情况以前就有, 因为以前萨达姆经常出行并且经常接触老百姓。” ZDF称区分真的萨达姆和他的替身是非常困难的。只有在一些小的细节上, 比如耳朵的大小, 手以及肩膀的形状, 才能使这些替身的身份暴露。“很明显他们是做了整容手术, 使其看起来很像这个政治家, “ZDF称, “这些替身还将萨达姆的动作模仿得惟妙惟肖, 与真的萨达姆·侯赛因相比也只有很小的细节上的差异。”
