||1:Indeed, looking over all the photographs, it is interesting to see how the artist has aged gracefully in real life but intriguingly badly in her fictions.||2:In 2007 French Vogue commissioned her to do a series of six photographs in which she transformed herself into desperate middle-aged fashion victims dressed in Balenciaga.||3:These pictures led to “The Socialites” in which she depicted herself as older women whose multimillionaire husbands, one suspects, have cast them off for younger versions.||4:Their dignity in the face of faded glamour reveals both the empathy and brutality of the artist’s eye.

||1:当然，看完这些照片，你会发现她在岁月里优雅地老去，在幻境里却无比迷人，甚是有趣。||2:2007年，法国《时尚》杂志委托她拍摄一组六张照片，化身为一位身着Balenciaga的中年“潮人”，让人想起《名流》（The Socialites）系列。||3:在《名流》中，她扮演一些疑心已成箧中弃扇的年长妇女。||4:她们面对年华老去的姿态庄严，说明她观察人时能做到感同身受，鞭辟入里。

||1:FOIE GRAS is one of the most controversial dishes on earth.||2:To protagonists, it is simply the finest foodstuff that exists.||3:To those opposed, it is a product of cruelty that is not far short of criminal.||4:The overfeeding of ducks and geese, so that their livers bloat to between six and ten times their normal size and take on a buttery consistency valued by gourmets, exploits the ability of these birds to store large amounts of calorie-rich fat, which was needed to propel them on the long migrations that their wild ancestors would routinely have undertaken.||5:The moral argument over the way foie gras is produced (by feeding the birds with grain, through a tube or a funnel) turns on whether this is merely the permissible exaggeration of a natural inclination, or is tantamount to abuse.||6:Intriguingly , a newly published piece of research on foie-gras production suggests the quality of the product depends on exactly the same distinction.

||1:Only one other state, Alaska, has loser-pays, and only for a portion of fees.||2:More intriguingly , Florida imposed “loser-pays” in 1980 for medical-malpractice cases.||3:The number of claims dropped, but the average award rose, suggesting that more high-merit cases got their day in court while low-merit filings were deterred or settled for less.||4:But many losing plaintiffs were too poor to pay the winners’ costs, while in one case a losing defendant had to pay millions for the plaintiff’s legal fees.||5:Even doctors supported the law’s repeal in 1985.

||1:还有另外唯一一个实行败诉偿付的州，那就是阿拉斯加，但这里败诉方支付的仅是胜诉方法律成本的一部分。||2:更有趣的是，1980年佛罗里达州在处理医疗事故案例时就使用过“败方赔偿”制度。||3:这种制度的实施使诉讼的数量下降了，但平均裁决赔偿额提高了，这表明，诉诸法律的更多的是那些一方获胜把握比较大的案子，而那些胜算不大的侵权纠纷，诉讼数量或判决数量都减少了。||4:但是，有很多败诉的原告生活穷困，无力支付对方的法律成本，而在另一起诉讼中，败诉的被告要支付原告数百万元的法律费用。||5:在1985年，连医生都支持废除这项法律。
