芬妮希爾是一部改編自約翰·克利蘭的經典小說的英國短劇。故事講述了一個名叫芬妮的鄉(xiāng)下女孩，為了生計離開家鄉(xiāng)來到城市，并陷入了困境。她曾與一位名叫查爾斯的青年陷入熱戀，但查爾斯被父親送走后，芬妮只能獨自留下，并開始尋找更富有、更有勢力的依附者。與傳統小說中的賣淫不同，芬妮并不以為恥，反而似乎享受這種腐敗的生活。這部小說被認為是英國文學史上第一部真正意義上的情色小說作品。起初，這部作品并未引起太多關注或爭議。然而，在次年，作者和出版商因涉嫌傷風化而被捕入獄，這使得這部小說突然受到了熱議，盜版也隨之泛濫。直到19世紀，這本書傳到美國，但仍然受到社會的禁止，只能在地下傳播。1963年，一家出版社以《約翰·克利蘭的快感女人回憶錄》的名義重新出版了這部作品，但很快又被禁止，不過這次出版社沒有順從禁令，而是將其告上法庭，并最終取得了勝利，使得這個故事終于重新見到了世人。

和Mr H：
The first time I slept with him, I felt nothing. I was too shocked and grieved.
Had anyone ever told me I should know another man but Charles, I would have spit in his face.
But our virtues and our vices depend too much on our circumstances.
但我們的道德底線會依據情況而變。
The second time, I was determined still to feel nothing, meaning to preserve a sort of faithfulness to Charles, but Mr. H was too patient and too skillful for me, and I am ashamed to say that my body betrayed me. 我很慚愧地承認我的身體背叛了我的心。
So I learned that the extremes of sensual delight had nothing to do with true love.
所以我了解到了肉體的快樂與真愛無關。
A cruel lesson for a girl with a romantic disposition, but I think many women may have made that bittersweet discovery for themselves.
對于一個多情的女孩來說這無疑是殘忍的認知，但我想許多女人都是自己發(fā)現了這個喜憂參半的事實。
Now… I was truly learning to be a woman of pleasure.
現在，我真的學會了去做一個享樂的女人。

At the carousel, that merger, that confusion of heart and meat. I let myself be taken quickly by the pleasure. For the motto of Mme. Cole was: “ Do whatever you want, that’s the law.”
在狂歡舞會上，心靈與肉體的雙重放縱漸漸讓我沉溺于享受這種快感。用科爾夫人的名言來說就是：“做任何你想做的，這便是法則。”
We were all immersed in the pleasure of the flesh with each other. So there was nobody to point the accusatory finger. But even if Mrs. Cole said she had recreated the innocent pleasure of Garden of Eden, before sin and death enterd the scene, sometimes I felt a small twinge of guilt.
我們都沉浸在這種肉體交融的快感中，沒有人會對你的行為橫加指責。但即便科爾夫人宣傳她只是在罪孽和死亡來臨前重建了一個純潔的伊甸園，但有時候我還是會有一種犯罪的愧疚感。
When I remembered Charles，I was thinking how I was and saw how he was now.
每當我想起查理是，我就會幻象他現在怎么樣了。
A common whore, to speak directly. A vehicle for hire.
而我，不客氣地來說，只是一個尋常的妓女。供別人泄欲的工具。


故事Fanny說：
從道德上看我的故事，大部分人都有良知。
對我來說，生活很復雜，我們盡最大的努力過好它。
美德總是比不道德好，但不是每次都有得選，對吧？
Virtue is always better than vive, but we cannot always choose, is not it?
