Belle Watling was the most notorious of the madams.

在这些鸨母中，贝尔·沃特琳最臭名昭著一个。

Don't tell this to my madam, but I cannot accept any money from you.

不要告诉我鸨母，但我不能收你任何钱。

And actually a lot of her old acquaintances are kind of rapacious madams and stuff.

实际上，她许多都些鸨母之流。

There was also a Chinese brothel madam named Ah Toy, who, unlike any of the other Chinese at this time, actually made use of the American court system to assert her rights.

还有一位名叫阿桃中国妓院鸨母，与当时其他中国人不同，她实际上利用美国法院系统来维护自己权益。

And of course, many women who are referred to as madams are simply female pimps that sometimes have had a prostitution history and consider going into pimping as a promotion and far better than them having to do it themselves.

当然，许多被称为“鸨母”女性其实就女性皮条客，她们有时有过卖淫经历，认为涉足拉皮条一种晋升，远比自己亲自上阵要好得多。
