Dear Prudence,
I’m a bisexual woman, and I’ve been dating a really wonderful woman for the past two years. We’re discussing moving in together. Last week, while discussing old relationships, I admitted that for a few years in college, from 19 to 21, I had a “sugar daddy.” He was 18 years older than me and lived across the country, but he traveled for work, often visiting me one or two weekends a month. We took vacations once or twice a year and had a lot of fun in and out of bed, and I received some expensive gifts and a monthly “allowance.” I felt no pressure from him, he rescheduled trips if they interfered with something I wanted to do without him, and we parted on very good terms. It was an interesting period of my life that I have no desire to repeat but still remember fondly. My girlfriend’s reaction was one of shock and horror, however. She insists that I was taken advantage of (everything was very enthusiastically consensual), he was a predator and a pedophile, and I need to see a therapist because I’m not upset over my relationship with him. She’s brought this up multiple times a day since I told her, and I seriously regret ever mentioning it. I only revealed so many details because she pressed. What can I say to get her to drop this subject?
—Girlfriend Insists I Was Abused
Let’s begin by clarifying an important point: By absolutely no stretch of the term, legal or otherwise, is a man who dates a 19-year-old a pedophile.
By absolutely no stretch of the term, legal or otherwise, is a man who dates a 19-year-old a pedophile.の和訳と文法的解説をお願いします。倒置されているのでしょうか？よろしくお願いします
お礼
早速のご回答、誠に、ありがとうございました。 ５０年くらい前の中３のときにペーパーバックを買って 全文暗唱するほど読み込んだのですが、 そうした箇所の記憶がありませんので、奇異に感じられて 質問させていただきました。 ピリオドが付されていないセンテンスがあることには 気づいてました。ミスとすれば考えられないミスですし、 ミスではなくて何らかの理由があるとすれば、どんな 理由なのかとも……おもいましたが善意でアップして くださっていることを思えば失礼になりますね。 別のサイトのＵＲＬをお示しくださり、 重ねて御礼申し上げます。 助かりました。
