Zoology
Pointing to the parallel roles of bourgeois zoos and their princely predecessors,
for example, John Berger pointed out that the great zoos of London, Paris, and
Berlin
到底是“中产阶级动物园”还是“世俗动物园”，它是跟王室饲养的动物作为对比的。

市民动物园
既然这个概念与“王室动物园”是parallel，平行的关系，那么是否也可以用“市民”/“公众”来对应bourgeois呢？
“中产阶级动物园”也没有问题，但作者在这里用bourgeois一词，是否为了强调两种动物园面向的受众不同？前者供王室成员游览，后者则面向更广阔的人群

常规动物园
The word " bourgeois" has several meanings. Sometimes it denotes "conventional". So I think "bourgeois zoos" may refer to 常规动物园 (conventional, traditional or old zoo) comparing to the world modern zoos. Nowadays we normally don't use the expression " 中产阶级" in our lives. Surely, it may depend on the concrete context.
