  一部记录戴妃1997年巴黎车祸的影片即将在戛纳向媒体和潜在买家展示,这一包含狗仔队拍下的戴妃死前照片的纪录片在上映三天前引发了争议。

  "Unlawful Killing," directed by British actor Keith Allen and backed by Mohamed al-Fayed, whose son Dodi died with Diana, is due to be screened at the Cannes film festivalon Friday.

  这部名为《非法致死》的影片由英国演员基思 艾伦执导,并得到亿万富翁穆罕默德 艾尔 法耶德的赞助,法耶德的儿子多迪和戴安娜同死于该场车祸。该影片将于周五在戛纳电影节上映。

  A spokesman for the film's backers sought to play downthe significance of the controversial image being aired, after a friend of Princess Diana expressed anger at the movie.

  在戴安娜王妃的一位朋友表达了对影片的愤怒后,电影赞助商的发言人力图淡化即将曝光的争议性图像的影响。

  "The picture has been published in full before, in many parts of the world," the spokesman said in an email to Reuters.

  这名发言人在发给路透社的一封电子邮件中说:“这一图片曾经在全球多个地方被完整出版过。”

  "We acquired the image from an Italian magazine, which had already published it in full. It is also widely available on the web. Only in Britain did the press choose to black outher face.

  “我们是从一家意大利杂志得到该图片的,该杂志社以前就完整出版过该图片。这一图片也可以从许多网站下载到。只有英国的出版社才将照片上她的脸部遮住。
