介绍（中）	这个18世纪中期的英国时尚娃娃可能是作为一个幸运的年轻女孩的玩具来到美国殖民地的。　像这样的娃娃既有玩具的作用，也有最新时尚的广告的作用。　他们经常由裁缝穿上衣服，以显示当时的轮廓，在这种情况下是17世纪40年代，当时的风格是侧边比前后宽的裙子。　娃娃的裙子是由各种不同的窄丝绸拼接而成的，可能是裁缝店里的布料碎片。　这一时期的一件真正的连衣裙都是由一种奢华的纺织品制成的。　我们的娃娃穿得很好，裙子下面有两条衬裙，鞋子是用金属丝带做成的。　她从未想过要像现代娃娃一样脱衣服，甚至还保留着珍珠耳环和手表。　很明显，这是一件非常珍贵的物品，在她到达新世界后不久，有人制作了一个阴影盒，里面画着树和鹦鹉，以在她不被玩的时候保护她的安全。
介绍（英）	This mid-eighteenth century English fashion doll probably arrived in the American colonies as the plaything for a lucky young girl.　 Dolls like this served two purposes—as both toys and advertisements of the latest fashion.　 They were often clothed by dressmakers to show the silhouette of the day, in this case the 1740s, when the style was for a skirt that was wider on the sides than it was in the front and back. 　The doll’s skirt is pieced from a variety of different narrow panels of silk, perhaps scraps of fabric the dressmaker had around her shop.　 A real dress from this period would all be of a single luxurious textile.　 Our doll is completely dressed, with two petticoats under her skirt, and shoes fashioned out of metallic ribbon.　 Never meant to be undressed like modern day dolls, she still even retains her pearl earrings and watch.　 Obviously a highly treasured object, soon after she arrived in the New World, someone fashioned a shadow box, its interior painted with trees and parrots, to keep her safe when she wasn’t being played with.
