And you can see clearly possible sexual ideas

其中一些都能找到很明显的性暗示
in films such as this.

比如这部
And they're clearly also here.

可以在这幅图上很清楚地看出来
But what I want to argue is what's been neglected so often--

而我想说的这种象征意义常常被人忽略
and I think it's really important--is I want to argue

但却是非常重要的那就是
that Dracula is also an allegory of infectious disease;

德库拉也象征了传染病
not a specific disease, but diseases like plague and cholera,

他象征的不是某种单一疾病而是所有
that originated in Eastern Europe and traveled,

像鼠疫和霍乱这样从东欧传播开去的疾病
just as Dracula did,by ship and by railroad;

其传播途径就如德库拉坐船乘火车的行程
that they had Count Dracula's goal of ravaging industrial cities

这些疾病也像德库拉伯爵一样以荼毒
huge population centers like London.

伦敦等工业化城市的居民为目的
And it's interesting that the vampire hunters in the novel

有趣的是小说中的吸血鬼猎人
