A place of artistic brilliance,

風(fēng)流韻事
and outrageous scandals.
以及驚天丑聞
But while a lucky few danced,

盛宴和調(diào)情中醉生夢死時(shí)
the state was on the brink of collapse.
國家卻處在分崩離析的邊緣
Outside these gilded gates,

while rich nobles paid virtually nothing.
而富有的貴族坐享其成
A new king, Louis XVI,

最大的挑戰(zhàn)
Bring fairness to the system and hope to their subjects
