A man in Brooklyn bears such an uncanny resemblance to painter Vincent Van Gogh that his own mother thought a portrait of the artist was her son.

布鲁克林的一名男子和画家文特森·梵高相像到离奇诡异的地步，以至于他的母亲都以为梵高的自画像画的是自己儿子。

Robert Reynolds, 33, told PIX11 that people come up to him a few times a week to tell him he looks like the painter but he only recently discovered internet fame.

33岁的罗伯特·雷诺兹告诉PIX11新闻，说人们一周里找了他好几次，都对他说他和画家梵高太像了，但是他最近才发现自己成了网络红人。

Last week a commuter¹ snapped Reynolds' photo while he was riding the G train and then posted it to her Reddit under the name xacbranch.

上周，一名通勤者在坐地铁G线时快闪拍下了雷诺兹的照片，然后上传到了她的Reddit账号@ xacbranch下。

'So I ran into Vincent Van Gogh today,' reads the post on Reddit along with a photo of Reynolds next to a portrait of post-impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh.

“所以说我今天是遇见文特森·梵高了吧，” Reddit上雷诺兹的照片旁再紧挨后印象派画家文特森·梵高的画像，并写上了这句话。

'One of my friends texted me and was like "dude, you're famous!"' Robert Reynolds, told PIX11 News.

“我的一个朋友发讯息给我，说‘哥们，你火了！’”罗伯特·雷诺兹告诉PIX11新闻。

The famous painter died at 37 when he 'shot himself in the chest' over a century ago but Van Gogh's likeness² is very alive in Reynolds who hopes to somehow capitalize on his looks.

这位知名画家在37岁朝胸腔开了一枪自杀身亡，这是一个多世纪以前的事了，但是雷诺斯与梵高有着突破天际的相似度，简直是“梵高再世”，雷诺兹希望以某种方法利用这一长相。

Van Gogh went mad later in life and famously chopped of his own ear in 1888 in Arles, France. He then gave his severed³ body part to a prostitute named Rachel.

梵高晚年的时候发疯，最著名的事件是于1888年在法国阿尔勒切下了自己的耳朵。随后他将耳朵送给了一名名叫瑞秋的妓女。

Even though Reynolds is sane⁴ and has two ears, both he and Van Gogh share a passion for artistic⁵ expression.

虽然雷诺兹十分健全，两耳健在，他和梵高都有着艺术表达的热情。

Reynolds is an actor from North Carolina who is now living in New York. He says that he may start making a YouTube web series with him playing Vincent Van Gogh.

雷诺兹是来自北卡罗来纳州的一名演员，如今生活在纽约。他说自己也许会开始在油管上上传一系列视频，自己饰演梵高。
