Both men speak loudly and clearly是什么句型
Comments:
It is simple present tense, which is a statement of fact that "both men" are able to speak loudly and clearly.
"Both men" is the subject phrase, with "both" being the adjective modifying "men", and "men" being the subject noun.
The phrase "speak loudly and clearly" is the predicate phrase, with "speak" being the verb, "clearly" and "loudly" being the adjectives modifying the verb "speak", and "and" is the conjunction linking the two adjectives.

寫真集is actually a Japanese term for 相冊，the original meaning of寫真集suggests nothing like "sexy", "prono", etc. However, the cold truth is the titles on those sexy prono Japanese magazines do carry the term 寫真集of so and so. It is therefore being misled to the non-Japanese readers that such 寫真集 stands for "Prono Magazine".
If you wish to have a correct translation of the true 寫真集，it is "Photo Album". If you wish to know the English translation of 寫真集 in the mis-interpreted term, it is "Pronograph"
Alexcwlin: haha, ask some guys in Guangzhou or Hong Kong and see what they say.
I search the term "寫真集" on the web and I think you are right for the meaning in its purest form. In that case, "private photo collection" or "personal photo album" would seem to be the appropriate term.
However, the modern day meaning of "寫真集", particularly down southern China, does suggest sexy photos.
Don't forget "sexy" and "erotic" do not equate "porno".
