(5)	这种不满只是在私下说的，在公开场合还是赞美它。

(9)	人们此时得知那幅画的归宿。
(10)	understandably在此时指画家此时感到伤心，这是“可以(被人)理解地”。
(11)	与shocked(震惊)一样的强烈情绪是angry。
(12)	这句话是历史学家(Historians)说的，因此是考虑其作为“历史文献”的价值。
(13)	大家一致认为邱吉尔夫妇没权利这么做。
(14)	这是这位画家说的话，他会真实地描述自己眼中的邱吉尔。
(15)	从下文可知，直到肖像画好之后邱吉尔才看见这幅画，因此选progress “进展中的作品”。
(16)	画家在画的过程中不让他看，这一点下文有提示。
(17)	直到收到这幅画后才看见画像中的人是什么样子。
(18)	see…as表示“把……视为”，用as引出画家眼里的形象。
(19)	他憎恨年迈，看见画中自己的模样，自然会觉得受到伤害。
(20)	对这些问题,还没有一个使人人满意的回答。
