回答: The meaning of "Geisha is not a courtesan, neither is an artist." 由 Enlighten 于 2006-1-12, 16:51:05:
Geisha is not a courtesan, but is not an artist either. Probably many Japanese people will beat me to death for the second half of the statement, but I am adamant to that, for I believe Geisha is mere an entertainer. You certainly won’t call an entertainer artist, just as you won’t call Zhang Ziyi the charming bitch artist.
