《苔丝》词汇: peremptorily, untenable, stultify, stint, desultory, hobnob,

There is no institution for whose history I have a deeper admiration; but I cannot honestly be ordained her minister, as my brothers are, while she refuses to liberate her mind from an untenable redemptive theolatry. 我最尊重这个几个的历史。但是,如果它拒绝从一种站不住脚的救赎神学中解放出来,我实在不能像我的哥哥们那样,被任命为她的牧师。(第十八章)
