Her image began to appear everywhere in allegorical pictures,
她的形象出现在各个地方的寓意画中
Elizabeth as the sun who gave the rainbow its radiant hues.
伊丽莎白如太阳 照耀出彩虹的光芒
Even those on the inside, who could cleanly see
即使是知道内情的人 那些清楚地知道
the elaborate scaffolding from which this image was projected,
如此画面不是经过精心设计 巧摆姿势所造就的效果
who knew that the pale moon glow of the Queen's face
尽管他们知道她脸上月光般的清辉
was just pulverised eggshell, borax, alum and mill water,
不过是蛋壳粉 硼砂 明矾和磨坊里的水做的
even these knowing types were still total captives to the cult.
依然对她顶礼膜拜
She had this effect on all kinds of people, especially men,
她倾倒众生 尤其是男人
even when they got older and should have known better.
即使随着他们阅历的增加 本应更为明智
They built huge prodigy houses in her honour.
他们为她建造宏伟的宫殿
It was in its way a desperate need to impress,
这种无所不用其极想要打动女王的方式
a sign of the culture's raw immaturity, its hunger for glitzy gorgeousness,
标志着文明的匮乏 对于奢华的盲目追求
Elizabethan razzle-dazzle, thigh-hugging hose,
伊丽莎白时代繁复的紧身长筒袜
oak-panelled libraries with yards of unread classics,
藏书万卷却无人翻阅的橡木图书馆
ballrooms as big as playing fields.
还有运动场般大小的舞池
