1. Cleopatra was not Egyptian.
埃及艳后克里欧佩特拉竟不是埃及人
Along with King Tut, perhaps no figure is more famously associated with ancient Egypt than Cleopatra VII. But while she was born in Alexandria, Cleopatra was actually part of a long line of Greek Macedonians originally descended from Ptolemy I, one of Alexander the Great's most trusted lieutenants.
说起古埃及，除了图特王（King Tut），最有名的人物大概就是克里欧佩特拉七世了。尽管她出身于埃及亚历山大，但她实际上是希腊马其顿人的后裔，而马其顿人则是亚历山大大帝麾下最受信任的将军托勒密一世的后代。
The Ptolemaic Dynasty ruled Egypt from 323 to 30 B.C., and most of its leaders remained largely Greek in their culture and sensibilities. In fact, Cleopatra was famous for being one of the first members of the Ptolemaic dynasty to actually speak the Egyptian language.
从公元前323年到公元前30年，托勒密王朝统治了埃及，并且大部分君主在文化和情感上都延续着希腊人的传统。事实上，克里欧佩特拉闻名于世的原因却在于她是托勒密王朝第一批会说埃及语的王室成员。
