 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.
