那是情——事实上——完全是关于别的东西：想法。

As new technology is showing us, it's quite possible for two people to generate extraordinary eroticism while their bodies are a continent or more apart.

正如新技术向我们展示的那样， 当两个人的身体相隔一个大陆或更远时， 他们很有可能生非凡的性欲。

Costumes like this were the peak of eroticism at the turn of the century but the sex appeal just doesn't translate to the 21st century audiences.

像这样的服装是世纪之交情的顶峰，但性感并没有转化 21 世纪的观众。

Even later, in the car and outside the villa when God knows he had had other things to think about, his eroticism had been hotly aroused by the sight of her indecent nakedness.

甚至后来，在车里，在别墅外，天知道他心心念念的时候，看到她那不雅的裸体，他的情欲就被火热地激发了起来。
