A 怎麼連門戶網站上也全是色情的東西？
zěnme lián ménhù wǎngzhàn shàng yě quán shì sèqíng de dōngxi?
How is it that even online portals are all full of racy stuff?
B 我看看。哦，只不過是比較清涼的照片，怎麼能算色情？
wǒ kàn kan. ō, zhǐ bùguò shì bǐjiào qīngliáng de zhàopiàn, zěnme néng suàn sèqíng?
Let me take a look. Ah, that's just a little cheesecake, how can you count it as racy?
A 你的尺度這麼寬啊？不過藝術和色情的確只是一線之差。
nǐ de chǐdù zhè me kuān a? bùguò yìshù hé sèqíng díquè zhǐshì yīxiànzhīchā.
Are you really that accepting? But there is just a fine line between art and sleaze.
B 對啊，李安《色戒》裡的激情戲，你說是藝術還是低俗？而且所謂的藝術片，十有八九都有這類情節。
duìa, Lǐ An1《sèjiè》lǐ de jīqíng xì, nǐ shuō shì yìshù hái shì dīsú? érqiě suǒwèi de yìshù piān, shíyǒubājiǔ dōu yǒu zhè lèi qíngjié .
Yeah, would you say the sexy parts of Li An's ``Lust, Caution" are art or lowbrow smut? And as for so-called art movies, most of them are probably this kind of stuff.
A 我也聽說很多網友都指責這部片子是把黃色內容偽裝成藝術。但我個人挺欣賞李安導演的，他應該不會愚弄觀眾吧。
wǒ yě tīngshuō hěn duō wǎngyǒu dōu zhǐzé zhè bù piānzi shì bǎ huángsè nèiróng wěizhuāng chéng yìshù. dàn wǒ gèrén tǐng xīnshǎng Lǐ An1 dǎoyǎn de, tā yīnggāi bùhuì yúnòng guānzhòng ba.
I also hear a lot of online buddies saying that this movie packages smut as art. But I, for one, really like Li An's movies. He probably wouldn't play his audience for fools, right?
B 說不定。那你說說看，什麼是藝術，什麼是色情？
shuō budìng. nà nǐ shuō shuo kàn, shénme shì yìshù, shénme shì sèqíng?
Hard to say. Tell me now, what is art, and what is sleaze?
A 高雅的、有藝術成就的是藝術，為了賺錢而故意搞出來的低俗東西就是色情。你看看現在的雜誌，哪本沒有挑逗的照片？媒體怎麼能這麼大肆地宣傳色情，汙染大眾的精神呢？
gāoyǎ de, yǒu yìshù chéngjiù de shì yìshù, wèile zhuànqián ér gùyì gǎo chūlai de dīsú dōngxi jiùshì sèqíng. nǐ kàn kan xiànzài de zázhì, nǎ běn méiyǒu tiǎodòu de zhàopiàn? méitǐ zěnme néng zhè me dàsì de xuānchuán sèqíng, wūrǎn dàzhòng de jīngshén ne?
Elegant stuff with artistic merit is art. Intentionally lowbrow stuff that is only for the sake of making money is sleaze. Take a look at magazines these days. Are there any that don't have provocative pictures? How can the media promote sleaze on such a grand scale, and pollute the audience's minds?
B 沒有大眾的需求，那些東西也不會跑出來了。再說，色情的界定也是跟著時代變的。二三十年前，牽個手、擁抱一下就是耍流氓。
méiyǒu dàzhòng de xūqiú, nà xiē dōngxi yě bùhuì pǎo chūlai le. zàishuō , sèqíng de jièdìng yě shì gēn zhe shídài biàn de. èr sānshí nián qián, qiān ge shǒu, yōngbào yīxià jiùshì shuǎliúmáng.
If the people didn't demand it, that kind of stuff wouldn't come out. Plus, what counts as sleazy is determined by the times. Twenty or thirty years ago, holding hands or hugging was considered risque behavior.
A 但是我們總要有個道德底線吧？現在，色情內容都斗膽叫自己是藝術了。那以後還不迴歸原始社會，個個都光著身子逛大街了？
dànshì wǒmen zǒngyào yǒu ge dàodé dǐxiàn ba? xiànzài, sèqíng nèiróng dōu dǒudǎn jiào zìjǐ shì yìshù le. nà yǐhòu hái bù huíguī yuánshǐ shèhuì, gègè dōu guāngzhe shēnzi guàng dàjiē le?
But surely we need some kind of bottom line for morality? These days, sleazy stuff has the nerve to call itself art. If we don't get back to traditional values, will everyone be walking around naked in the street?
B 哪兒跟哪兒啊？孔子都說“飲食男女”是人的基本需要，為什麼要遮遮掩掩？
nǎr gēn nǎr ā? Kǒngzǐ dōu shuō `` yǐnshínánnǚ" shì rén de jīběn xūyào, wèishénme yào zhēzhēyǎnyǎn?
What are you talking about? Confucius himself said that food, drink and sex are mankind's basic needs. Why do we need to conceal it?
A 我看你是中毒太深，不可救藥了。
wǒ kàn nǐ shì zhòngdú tài shēn, bùkějiùyào le.
I see you've gone off the deep end. There's no hope for you now.
B 你真是個老古董。
nǐ zhēn shì ge lǎogǔdǒng.
You're so old-fashioned.
