※ 引述《leefengyuh (着白制服的信君)》之铭言:
: http://www.google.com.tw/dictionary?q=middle-class&hl=zh-TW&sl=en&tl=zh-TW&oi=dict_re
: middle-class
: adjective
: 1)connected with the middle social class 中产阶级的;中等收入阶层的
: 2)typical of people from the middle social class, for example having
^^^^^^^^^^^
: traditional views 典型中产阶级特色的;带有中产阶级传统观念的;古板的
: disapproving
: a middle-class attitude 中产阶级的(保守)态度
: The magazine is very middle-class. 这份杂志太古板了。
注意"古板的"仅为举例,而且我会倾向解读为"传统"而非古板
[古板带有负面意义,传统则较中性]
例句The magazine is very middle-class应译为
"这份杂志主要以中产阶级为诉求"
而不是"这份杂志太古板了"
["这份杂志太古板了"可译为The magazine is too old-fashioned]
: ============
: 若是,
: 某人社会阶层工作收入是upper class或working class (非中产阶级middle-class)
: 但是观念很having traditional views
: 能不能用middle-class来形容他的观念很having traditional views ?
句子要如何写?
He has an upper-class income but a middle-class view?
这个view就会因为前面谈income而被误解为跟钱相关
此句就会被解为"他收入虽然高,但看钱却像一般老百姓/中产阶级一样"
抛砖引玉~
