介绍（中）	被称为chopines的高台鞋于16世纪在威尼斯开始流行。它们既尴尬又实用，有助于防止穿着者摇摇欲坠的双脚在城市永远潮湿的小路上被弄湿或弄脏，也标志着她的社会地位提升。曾经有人认为，妓女们戴着高达20英寸的筷子，以树立引人注目的公众形象。就像昂贵的珠宝和丝绸长袍一样，筷子既受到贵族女性的青睐，也受到成功的妓女的青睐，她们试图通过穿上昂贵的服饰来模仿自己的外表。这种花哨的鞋子并不能明确地表明它的主人是妓女，但彼得罗·贝尔泰利（Pietro Bertelli）的情色翻盖印花（55.503.30）中穿着筷子的女人无疑代表了这个社会的小众。
介绍（英）	The high platform shoes known as chopines came into fashion in Venice in the sixteenth century. Awkward yet practical, they served to keep the wearer's precariously perched feet from getting wet or soiled in the city's perpetually damp byways and also to signal her elevated social status. It was once thought that very high chopines, as much as twenty inches, were worn by courtesans to establish a highly visible public profile. Like expensive jewels and silk gowns, chopines were favored both by patrician women and the successful courtesans who contrived to emulate their appearance by donning expensive finery. Such fancy footwear does not unequivocally signal that its owner was a courtesan, but the chopines-shod woman in Pietro Bertelli's erotic flap print (55.503.30) undoubtedly represents that niche of society.
