Many years ago, there was an Emperor, who was so excessively fond of new clothes, that he spent all his money in dress. He did not trouble himself in the least about his soldiers; nor did he care to go either to the theatre or the chase, except for the opportunities then afforded him for displaying his new clothes. 

请问老师，这两句话要怎么翻译呢，there was an Emperor, who was so excessively fond of new clothes, that he spent all his money in dress. 里，so …… that 句型的that 前为什么要加逗号呢？红色部分的trouble在这里的用法是什么呢？in the least要怎么翻译呢？为什么不是go to either the theatre or the chase，而是go either to the theatre or the chase呢？except for the opportunities then afforded him for displaying his new clothes. 这个分句完全不理解它的成分划分以及then , afford的用法。麻烦老师可以详细解答，感激不尽，谢谢老师！！！
