门阶

Proper; appropriate 得体的,体面的;合适的 Lady Bracknell did not think it was seemly for Ernest to lack a proper family: no baby abandoned on a doorstep could grow up to marry her daughter.

布拉克内尔夫人认为欧内斯特不是出自体面家庭这一点有失体统：没有哪个被遗弃在门阶上的婴孩长大可与她女儿结婚。

Lincoln: I don't know... just found them on the doorstep.

我不知道。。。在门阶上发现的。

When we got home, she was waiting for us on the doorstep.

当我们回家时，她就在门阶上等我们

Lastly, a common rock,festively painted, can make a handypaperweight or doorstop, but this isnot recommended: you generallydon't want to give your loved oneanything that can be used to inflictserious bodily damage, especiallyafter they find out you got them apaperweight or doorstop.

一小块泥土也可以变成一个烟灰缸。你还不需要去打扮它，谁管那一堆脏兮兮的烟灰和烟屁股下面盖的是什么。最后，一块小石头。涂上节日的色彩，可以变成一个镇纸或者门阶。不过这个可不推荐。我不希望你给你爱的人一个危险的武器。

It is unwise to linger overlong on doorsteps in these troubled times .

不过，让我们假设你已经热情地邀请我到你的房间来，在这个麻烦不断的时期，在门阶上逗留太久是不明智的。

White bench es were right - angled to every doorstep.

每一门阶都成直角地置有白长凳。

Leave it open, leave it unbolted until one day you happen to meet each other by the doorsteps like that little boy, little girl, perhaps under the moonlight or the sunshine while a cicada sings a monotonous song of childhood for you, for you both.

让它开着，不要闩门，直到有天你们相互偶遇于门阶上，就像那个小男孩和那个小女孩，也许在月光下或者在阳光下，当一知了正为你们唱着孩童时单调的曲子。

It is not constituted by endogamous groups, as is the Hindu Brahmanic hierarchy but by individuals and their families, for whom there is more possibility for mobility through and within interpersonal relations and through individual and intergenerational acquisition of civilisational achievements, military and civil.

这个级序与印度婆罗门阶序有所不同，组成这个阶序的不是同系种姓族群而是个体和他们的家族，对他们而言有更大空间通过人际关系来进行迁移，并且通过个体学习以及两代间的传承获得军事和民间的文明成就。

In the negative and interrogative forms, of course, this is identical to the non-emphatic forms.

。但是，在否定句或疑问句里，这种带有"do"的方法表达的效果却没有什么强调的意思。

Go down on one's knees;kneel down

屈膝跪下。。。下跪祈祷
