【英音模仿秀】佳人蓓尔

模仿文本： Belle¹ is based on a handful of known facts about Dido Elizabeth Belle, the illegitimate daughter of a royal navy officer and a West African slave. Unusually for the time, the child was recognised by her father's family and brought up as a daughter in the household of his uncle, Lord Mansfield, the Lord Chief Justice. There she was educated but not entirely² treated as equal.
