 文本:


At that time, the sovereign was the apex 1 of the world offashion and of the aristocracy, so that there wasn't this vast difference thatyou get today with the rock stars on the one hand, the influences of Hollywood,the highly-commercialised world of clothes fashion etc, all of which has sortof broken off into different compartments 2 these days. But in those days, theywere embodied 3 in a single person, George IV, and nobody has pulled off thatachievement better.


But for every connoisseur 4 who admired George's taste, therewere far more people outraged 5 by his extravagance. He took no notice, and hisspending spree continued unabated.

那个时候,英国是世界潮流和贵族政治的中心。也没有像今天那样有很多的不同,有摇滚巨星,有好莱坞巨大的影响,还有高度商业化的服饰等等。今天所有的一切,都分化成不同的个体。但在那个时代,除了乔治四世,别无他人,能有如此成就。


除了羡慕乔治品味的鉴赏家以外,有更多人对他的奢华感到愤慨但他毫不理会,仍然无节制的花钱。
