绅士

This abbreviation of pantaloon was considered vulgar and, as Oliver Wendell Holmes put it,"a word not made for gentlemen, but 'gents.'"

Pantaloon 的缩写被认为是粗俗的，并且正如奥立弗·温德尔·霍姆斯所说，&并不是为绅士而造的词，而是为'家伙们所造'&。

He certainly was not a manufacturer; nor was he a merchant or a gentleman farmer.

他当然也不是一个制造商；不是商人或者一个绅士的农民。

They said that a gentleman farmer, who was behind the scenes, wanted to double his money,which, as I understood, amounted to half a million already; but in order to cover each one of his dollars with another, he took off the only coat, ay, the skin itself, of Walden Pond in the midst of a hard winter.

他们告诉我，有一位农民绅士，他自己没有登场，想使他的钱财加一倍，那笔钱财，据我所知，大约已经有五十万了；现在为了在每一个金元之上，再放上一个金元起见，他剥去了，是的，剥去了瓦尔登湖的唯一的外衣，不，剥去了它的皮，而且是在这样的严寒的冬天里！

Unfortunately, Drebbel's automatic stove didn't make gold, nor did Drebbel ever publish its design, so his automatic invention perished without influence, and its design had to be rediscovered a hundred years later by a French gentleman farmer, who built one to incubate his chicken eggs.

不幸的是，Drebbel的这个自动炉不能弄出金子来，而Drebbel也从来没有发表过他的这个设计，结果他的这个自动化发明就这样死得无声无息。事实上，要等到一百多年之后，才有一个法国的乡村绅士为了对鸡蛋进行孵化，才重新发现了他的这个设计。

I hold in a belly fire, but still very gentleman to her that I goodwill.

我憋了一肚子火，但还是很绅士地向苏州办证说明我的善意。

I was wedged in between Redruth and stout old gentleman, and in spite of the swift motion and the cold night air, I must have dozed a great deal from the very first, and then slept like a log up hill and down dale through stage after stage; for when I was awakened at last, it was by a punch in the ribs, and I opened my eyes to find that we were standing still before a large building in a city street, and that the day had already broken long time.

我被夹在雷卓斯和一个相当肥胖的老绅士中间，车走得很快，夜气很凉，尽管如此，我无疑一上车就打起盹来，接着便熟睡得像块木头，上山头又下溪谷，过了一站又一站；最后直到肋下挨了一拳，我才醒来，睁开了眼睛，发现我们正静静地停在城市街道上一座大的建筑物前，而天已大亮了。

"Yes! I thought as much," said the fine man. I thought you would not know me.

&咳！&这位有绅士风度的客人说，我早就想到，您是不会认识我的！

He is nothing if not a gentleman.

他如果不是一个绅士才怪。

All right, gentlemen, saddle up.

好的 绅士们准备好

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
