《苔丝》词汇: heterodoxy, vouchsafe, phlegm, untrammelled, prig,
A prig would have said that he had lost culture, and a prude that he had become coarse. Such was the contagion of domiciliary fellowship with the Talbothays nymphs and swains.
一个学究气的人看到他，一定会说他失去了文化修养，一个过分拘谨的人看到他，一定会说他变得粗俗了。这就是因为他和塔尔波斯的那些大自然的儿女们共同生活，受到他们的感染。（第25章）
