Now if bunnies are a kind of positive attribute of women and fertility

Is a kind of hunt for love on the male's part
就象征着男人对爱情的追求
that has a very carnal and very lustful sort of idea

And quite rightly that's behind the carnal Venus on this side
而这个也恰好位于裸体维纳斯的这一边
And off to the side you have lovers who have nothing on what Linda showed us earlier
边上还有一丝不挂的爱侣,琳达之前给我们展示过的
You might notice that her hand is where it probably shouldn't be
你们可能注意到她的手正放在不该放的地方
Now if on this side the land is fertile

There's a tree
有一棵树
There are flowers
有一些花儿
On this side there is a barren river
而在这一侧有一条荒芜的河流
and a tree which has been cut off and has no branches

And that theme then that we saw in the back

On the front of the painting

Is in the back as well

The fertilisation of marriage is a positive thing

Now in talking about this I have not mentioned which I am ashamed
在讲这个的时候,我还没提起过一点,
as an art historian not to have done
作为一名艺术史学家没提到这一点我感到很羞愧
How brilliant this is as a painting
作为一幅油画,这画极为出色
All of these things help to show you what the story is about
所有的这些事物都在努力讲述着一个故事
But what to me I just can't get over
但对于我,我只想说
How brilliant a painter Titian is
提香是一名多么出色的画家啊
How he is able to balance the white dress with a nude body
他居然能够将白裙女人和一副裸露的身体和谐地画在一起

The equilibrium between these two ravenously beautiful women

I think is actually there
我认为其实已经很明显了
That Titian is not making you pick one over the other
提香并不是要你选出其中一个
But he sees them as the sense and sensibility of love
他是将她们视为爱情的理智与情感两面
And that it is marriage that brings these two aspects of Venus
是婚姻让两位不同的维纳斯
These two aspects of love together
将爱情的两面组合在一起
Because it's through marriage that the carnal desire of a man
因为通过婚姻,男人的性欲
is put to the use of the generative power of creating a family
才可转化为生育力,创造出新家庭
Now Tina Turner might ask
而正如蒂娜·特纳的歌词所言
What's love got to do with this?
爱情跟这有什么关系?
Titian's most emphatic answer is Absolutely everything
提香最有力的回答就是万事皆与爱情有关
