| 释义 | 〔rakish〕Of the character of a rake; dissolute.放荡的：具有性生活放纵的特点的；放荡的〔put〕To make sexual advances to.取得性生活的进展〔celibate〕Historically,celibate means only "unmarried"; its use to mean "abstaining from sexual intercourse" is a 20th-century development.But the new sense of the word appears more or less to have displaced the old,and the use ofcelibate to mean "unmarried" is now almost sure to invite misinterpretation in other than narrowly ecclesiastical contexts.Sixty-eight percent of the Usage Panel rejected the older use in the sentenceHe remained celibate [unmarried] , although he engaged in sexual intercourse. 历史上，celibate 只作“未婚的”解； 用作“禁欲”的意思是在20世纪发展起来的。但是该词的新含义多少有取代原含义的趋势，并用celibate 作“未婚的”意义， 现在除了在狭小的神学领域外几乎都会引起误解。用法专题使用小组百分之六十八的成员在句子他仍是单身的 ［未婚的］ ，尽管他仍保有性生活 中，拒绝使用该词的旧含义 〔abstinence〕 Continence specifically refers to abstention from sexual activity. Continence 特指性生活上的节制 |
