西奥多拉皇后到底有多美丽呢？古古从壁画上看不出来，看来他得亲自去一趟古代拜占庭，希望能一睹皇后的芳颜，还有她传奇般的身世，她的智慧和才干，这些多么引人注目啊！
How beautiful could Queen Theodora be? Gugu couldn’t tell from the murals. It seemed that it was necessary for him to visit the Byzantine Empire, in the hope of having a look at the queen. Besides her beautym she was known for her legendary experience, wisdom and talent, which are also eye-catching.
（G-Gugu T=Theodora）
G: Wow!
T: Hi, Gugu! That’s really a special way of greeting, isn't it?
G: Oh, no. Her Majesty, I’m afraid it’s not a greeting. I was just stunned by your extraordinary beauty.
T: Thanks. You know no woman can resist such sweet talk.
G: But no doubt you're the most suitable one that deserves it.
T: Haw-haw, I’m flattered, young man.
G: It’s said that you are not only charming and wise but also courageous.
T: Huh! Compared with my indecisive husband, I was more resolute and prompt. There was once a terrible rebellion. While my husband was planning to run away, I stayed calm and finally put it down.
G: Good for you!
T: Sure, I’m not always that violent. Most of the time I was gentle. I once banned trading young girls and more than that, I also amended the marriage law, making it favorable to women.
G: So you’re also a kind of a feminist.
古古：啊呀！
西奥多拉：你好呀，古古！你们打招呼的方式好特别呀。
古古：啊……我刚才不是打招呼，尊敬的皇后陛下，那是被您的美貌震撼发出的惊叹声。
西奥多拉：哦！谢谢！你知道，女人都喜欢这样的赞美。
古古：可是像您这样气质高贵的夫人我还是第一次见。
西奥多拉：哈，多谢夸奖，年轻人。
古古：听说您不仅美丽、聪慧，而且办事还很果断。是这样吗？
西奥多拉：哈哈，相对于我那优柔寡断的丈夫，我也算是雷厉风行啦。当年有一场可怕的政变，在他计划逃亡的时候，我却果断地镇压了那些乌合之众。
古古：哇！好厉害！
西奥多拉：不过，我也有温柔的一面哦，我曾禁止买卖少女，而且修改婚姻法，使其对女性有利。
古古：这么说您还是个女权主义者哦。
