※ 引述《leefengyuh (著白制服的信君)》之銘言：
: 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 中產階級的；中等收入階層的
: 2)typical of people from the middle social class, for example having
^^^^^^^^^^^
: traditional views 典型中產階級特色的；帶有中產階級傳統觀念的；古板的
: disapproving
: a middle-class attitude 中產階級的（保守）態度
: The magazine is very middle-class. 這份雜誌太古板了。
注意"古板的"僅為舉例，而且我會傾向解讀為"傳統"而非古板
[古板帶有負面意義，傳統則較中性]
例句The magazine is very middle-class應譯為
"這份雜誌主要以中產階級為訴求"
而不是"這份雜誌太古板了"
["這份雜誌太古板了"可譯為The magazine is too old-fashioned]
: ============
: 若是，
: 某人社會階層工作收入是upper class或working class （非中產階級middle-class）
: 但是觀念很having traditional views
: 能不能用middle-class來形容他的觀念很having traditional views ？
句子要如何寫?
He has an upper-class income but a middle-class view?
這個view就會因為前面談income而被誤解為跟錢相關
此句就會被解為"他收入雖然高，但看錢卻像一般老百姓/中產階級一樣"
拋磚引玉~
