应召女郎的秘密日记第一季

Belle说了，不仅仅是饭店什么的要靠评论口碑过日子，“干我们这行的”也是一样（风软字幕，原文说的是working girls~）实际上这些网上的escort评论写的很好啊，简洁、平实，很好的词语搭配。把关键词换换全然可以用在推荐信里。

剧中念出的：

1. 配角女的评论Tanya is a stunning brunette with a great body, and even better technique.

要点：is..with…, and even better…一句话夸你三次，还暗藏着更上一层楼的意思。

情景切换：xx同学is a brilliant student a with a great academic record, and even better research potential.



2. 令Belle陷入事业低潮的负面评论：This girl has a decent body but sadly she has no idea how to use it. No amount of prodding on my part would persuade her to get even a little excited – the word frigid springs to mind.

要点：其实这是一个负面评论，但是the word … springs to mind用法很好。另外no … could get even a little…的双否句式也很强！它可以变成很雄辩的表扬句型。

情景切换：No research challenge that I threw in her face could get xx同学even a little intimidated – the word perseverance springs to mind.


3. 阿Ben为了帮Belle揽客写的，也是他的心声：Belle is the kind of girl any bloke would be lucky to have. She’s smart, beautiful, and she knows exactly what she’s doing. Anyone looking for anything rough or dangerous should go nowhere near. Men looking for someone that they can treat like a lady need to look no further than Belle. I hope you’ll treat her with the respect she deserves. She’s the best.

要点：第一句话就很强。其实这段很像Up in the Air里乔治克鲁尼写的推荐信：能雇佣Natalie是任意一个雇主的幸运。接着是正反对比：如果你想找xxx的人，你就错了；但你要找yyy的人，那你不用再找了——她就是最好的。Need to look no futher是很好、且我们不常用的搭配。如果谁的推荐人能写上本段的第一和最后一句话，那就是很赞的信啦。

情景切换：前两句和后两句动都不用动。Xx同学is the kind of student any grad school would be lucky to have. She’s smart, diligent, and she knows exactly what she’s doing. Anyone recruiting students to earn tuitions should go nowhere near. Researchers looking for someone they can treat like a serious future scholar need to look no further than xx同学. I hope you’ll treat her with the respect she deserves. She’s the best.

        关于本剧：看这个剧是因为读了一篇我喜欢的评论。里面说，这个剧好就好在它不掖着藏着，它直接坦诚，一点儿不好意思都没有。Belle一上来就说了，我是whore。 Escort/prostitute/whore，你叫什么都行。本剧不把自己当史诗大戏，不端着，我们不用听严肃的说教，轻松就好。
        但我看的评论里也说，这是优点也是缺点——你不把自己往深奥上靠，不“升华主题”，自然会固步自封、显得浅薄。
        我喜欢Ben啊。嗷嗷嗷。原来他是以色列人啊。我喜欢第一集那个水嫩帅哥嗷嗷。

Have you ever been in love?
Yes, once.
Would you give up being an escort?
Never. A girl is gotta do her research.
 
To be honest, to me, the word 'escort' was only a word from the GRE vocabulary. It should has nothing to do with prostitutes, on call-girls, or what so ever. So if you allow me, I would firstly thank the author, Belle de Jour, for showing us directly and truthfully, what exactly does escort mean, and how to be a good one.
 
'a city without prostitute is like a house without toilet.' says Stephanie, the so called mother of the girls, who has only 60% of heart and 40% of commission. That is why, dirty desires should be met, by girls like Belle. Like any working girl, Belle has great working ethics, and even better techniques that required by this job. She always tried to, and most of the times successfully captured the deepest desire of her clientele(and by the way, every girl should learn some French, it helps :P). So you see, every clientele can release the true self at her place, and that's why, she is paid by hour, of a rate of 300 pounds...
 
Belle is good looking, charming, well-educated, come from a mid-class family, and she has never be abused, or sexually injured. So this question pops up, why she choose to be an escort? Bambie's answer is simple and direct, MONEY! Belle's answer in the scene was 'I love Sex, and I love money'. But from my opinion, there is much more than that. For anyone, if you have the interest and the talent for the same job, then it's perfect. Belle has the gift, including the seductive lips, dark eyes, smooth skin, excellent body-figure, and great technique for this job. More over, by meeting the desires of the gentlemen, she always took control, evey man can not resist her, she is like a Goddess to her clients. And most importantly, the magic Power of cash can be rejected by no one.
 
So what about Hannah? Behind Belle's red lips and dark eye-lines, Hannah is geniusly polite, sweet and smart. She is afraid of loosen up her feelings, because escort should not have relationship. I would agree that no matter what they say, any man would have problem deal with the fact that the girl you love and share the intimacy with, should appear in front of another clientele's door and perform a special kind of 'arrangement'. And this was proven by her failed trials with Alex, Dunken, and I seriously doubt whether it can work out with Ben. So it seems no way out for escorts...And also, how can any girl clearly separate sex from love?
 
Conclusions:
1. Belle de jour is definitely feminist
2. Showtime has really no limit
2. Billie Piper is my cup of tea, she is indistinctly enchanting, I like her cheekbone!
3. If you want to be good at what you do, gift and great working ethics are 'must'
