请告诉我，本文中这些加上括号的单词是什么意思，谢谢！
NEW ORLEANS, United States (AFP) - Big Daddy's is racing to be the first New Orleans （strip joint） to reopen after Hurricane Katrina
We expect to reopen Wednesday or Thursday. We're just waiting for electricity to be back," said Saint Jones, the manager of one of many such establishments on the （sleazy） side of Bourbon Street.
Big Daddy's has been operating in the lower part of the French Quarter for 35 years and is known for the pair of （mannequin） legs in fishnet stockings and pink high heels that hang in the window.
The sign at the entrance boasts that Big Daddy's has the most beautiful girls in the South, backing the claim with pictures of scantily clad women.
At the moment, chaos reigns inside. Working in stifling heat, employees are trying to put everything in order. The club has had to find new girls ready to bare all.
Bourbon Street may not be on the （moral） high ground, but geographically its position above sea level helped it avoid the worst of the flooding after the August 29 mega-storm.
Big Daddy's also managed to avoid the looting that hit the city in the anarchic chaos that followed Katrina.
"Nobody came to steal anything," said Saint Jones. "What are they going to steal anyway? All the women got out of town."
In these sad times for New Orleans, the city's most famous street is filled not with tourists or the strains of jazz music, but with garbage bins and military patrols.
The bars that used to feature jazz, blues and （zydeco） music -- a variety of Cajun rock -- are silent.
Numerous strip joints,（ peep shows）, cheap souvenir stores and bars serving cocktails with names like Nuclear Kamikaze, Brain Freeze or Sex on the Bayou remain closed.
During Mardi Gras and spring break, these streets used to fill up with students: This is the only place in the United States where alcohol can be purchased all night long.
At that time, nightclubs and Spanish-style（ wrought-iron ）balconies filled with girls who had fun flashing their breasts to passers-by.
Bourbon Street, named after a former French royal family, has followed a joyous （laissez-faire ）tradition that mixed romantic candlelight dinners with wisecracking jokes and open vulgarity.
Now the festive atmosphere is gone and with another storm looming, Big Daddy's could struggle to inject new life into the street straight away.
Three weeks after Hurricane Katrina broke protective levees surrounding the city, emergency teams continue to retrieve bodies from flooded houses in the city.
Saint Jones wants to be the first to reopen his establishment. He is not aware of any other New Orleans strip joints ready to return to business as usual.
"Hustler" and "Barely Legal," owned by （porn magnate） Larry Flint, remain closed. The entrance to "Lil' Darlings" is boarded up.
The fact that there are neither tourists nor residents left in the city does not bother Jones.
"We're going to have all the military, the policemen, the firemen, the relief crews and all the media guys," he said.
"You've got about 70,000 people in town right now. They're going to have a lot of money to spend. They get paid so much overtime. You don't think we're gonna be （packed）?"

最佳答案
整篇文章写的是飓风刚刚过后的色情行业的一瞥:
法新社AFP Agence France-Presse
（strip joint）:俚语的 脱衣舞俱乐部
（sleazy）side : 在文中就是直译为" 肮脏的一面 或 阴暗的一面"等
（mannequin） :橱窗里的模特假人
on the （moral）high ground......: 表示 这条街虽然在道德风气的阶层上并不高,但是地理位置挺高( 飓风洪水没把它怎么样)
（zydeco） music :柴迪科舞曲, 路易斯安那的西部地区的比较流行的音乐形式,是源自法国,加勒比海等地区的地方音乐,以及蓝调音乐的综合背景.
peep shows）, 一种娱乐形式, 是透过一个小窗口,或者通过一面有放大镜功能的玻璃来观看的, 通常都是色情表演
（ wrought-iron ）: 煅铁,
（laissez-faire ）:来自法语, 表示" 放任自流的政策, 或者自由竞争的形式"
我想在这里应该是第二个解释.
（porn magnate）: 俚语 表示" 色情大亨" 的意思
（You don't think we're gonna be （packed）?"
意思就是:( 眼下这么赚钱 ),我们怎么会卷包不干了呢
