翻譯下這段吧
For all the romps, and the rumps, this book feels less like a lark than a terrible miscalculation. Harry presents himself as a creature in a gilded cage. Perhaps he hoped that, by writing a memoir, he’d set himself free. The cage isn’t fashioned by the royals, however, but by the eyes of the audience upon them. By revealing so much, all he has done is draw the bars in closer. The Firm would have stopped him from producing a book like this. And that would have been a service.
就所有風流韻事及其它事件的描寫而言，人們感覺這本書更像是一個可怕的誤判，而不是一個玩笑。哈裡把自己視為上流社會籠中的動物呈現。也許他希望通過寫回憶錄，讓自己獲得自由。然而，這個籠子并不是由皇室打造的，而是由觀衆的眼睛塑造的。通過大爆這麼多英王室的猛料，他所做的隻是把他與英王室之間沖突向大衆拉得更近。如果出版社阻止他出版這樣的書，那将是種讓人尊敬的行為。
