巴黎又是浪漫之都
La Traviata--what does that mean?

La TraViaTa 这是什么意思呢
Well, if you break it down in terms of its syllables

如果用音节来划分
you get the following: "La," feminine article I guess,

"La"是一个阴性冠词
"Tra," on the other side of,

"Tra"意思是在另一侧
"Via" Is a road,

"Via"是路
"Ta" Is a feminine thing,

"Ta"是阴性名词的后缀
so we have the woman that's sort of fallen off the beaten path,

or the expected road here.

她远离传统
She's the woman who has gone astray.
