“超人”服裝將於本月拍賣
A Superman costume worn by the late Christopher Reeve will go under the hammer in Australia this month, auction house Bonhams and Goodman said yesterday.
Auctioneer Giles Moon said the costume, complete with the famous "S" logo, was being sold by an avid film buff who bought it in London five years ago.
He said it was expected to fetch Australian dollars 15,000-20,000 ($11,400-15,200 US) when it is auctioned on May 24.
"Superman costumes rarely appear on the market and are much sought after by collectors," Moon said. The outfit comes without boots and Superman's red cape. Reeve wore the leotard in the 1983 film Superman III, while the red trunks and yellow belt came from his debut as the Man of Steel in Superman The Movie in 1978.
據邦漢姆斯•古德曼拍賣行昨日介紹，已故明星克里斯多夫•裏弗（譯者注：超人扮演者）在影片中所穿的“超人”服裝將於本月在澳大利亞拍賣。
拍賣人吉利斯•姆恩說，這套帶有著名“S”標誌的超人服裝的賣主是一名忠實的影迷，他於五年前在倫敦購得這套服裝。
他說，這套超人服裝將於本月24日拍賣，預計可拍得1.5萬至2萬澳元（1.14萬至1.52萬美元）。
姆恩說：“超人服裝在市場上很難見到，因此深受收藏家們的追捧。”這套服裝未配靴子和超人的紅色披肩一同拍賣。這套緊身連衣褲是裏弗在1983年的影片《超人3》中所穿，但紅色短褲和黃色腰帶則來自於他在1978年的《超人1》中首次亮相時的裝扮。當時他在該片中飾演“鋼鐵戰士”。
