| 释义 | 〔proud〕from Old French prou, prud [brave, virtuous] [oblique case of] prouz 源自 古法语 prou, prud [勇敢的，正直的] prouz的间接格 〔straight〕Of or relating to a straight man.严肃的：属于或关于一个正直的人的〔vote〕voted the straight Republican ticket.投了正直的共和党人一票〔innocent〕Candid; straightforward:正直的；坦率的：〔righteous〕Righteous people considered as a group.正直的人们：被认为正直的一类人〔dishonorable〕Lacking integrity; unprincipled.不正直的，不道德的〔upstanding〕Morally upright; honest.正直的，诚实的〔righteous〕Morally upright; without guilt or sin:正直的，公正的：道德上正直的；没有罪恶或过错的：〔prude〕Being a prude has never been widely considered a good thing,but if we dig further into the history of the wordprude, we will find that it had a noble past.The change for the worse took place in French.Frenchprude first had a good sense, "wise woman,” but apparentlya woman could be too wise or, in the eyes of some,too observant of decorum and propriety,and soprude took on the sense in French that was brought into English along with the word, first recorded in 1704.The French word first meant "wise woman"becauseprude was a shortened form of prude femme (earlier in Old Frenchprode femme ), a word that was modeled on earlierpreudomme, "a man of experience and integrity.” The second part of this word is, of course,homme, "man.” Old Frenchprod, meaning "wise, prudent,” is from Vulgar Latin prōdis with the same sense. Prōdis in turn comes from Late Latin prōde, "advantageous,” derived from the verbprodesse, "to be good.” We can see that the history ofprude is filled with usefulness, profit, wisdom, and integrity, but in spite of all this,things did not turn out that well.人们从来没有普遍地认为做一个拘守礼仪的人是一件好事，但是如果我们深挖prude 这个词的历史， 我们会发现这个词有一个体面的过去。这个词变成贬义是在法语中发生的。法语词prude 开始时是褒义的，意为“明智或聪明的女人，” 但是很显然，女人可能会过于聪明或者在某些人的眼里，对仪表和行为的得体过分注重，这样法语词prude 就有了这个和词一起被引入英语的意思， 并最早记载于1704年。这个法语词开始时的意思之所以是“聪明的女人”，因为prude 是 prudefemme 的缩写形式 （更早的时候在古法语中为prodefemme )， 这个词模仿更早的一个词preudomme “一个富有经验而又正直的男人”而来。 这个词的第二部分当然是意为“男人”的homme。 意思是“聪明，谨慎”的古法语prod 由一个相同意思的俗拉丁词 prodis 而来。 Prodis 从后期拉丁语 prode 演变而来，意为“有利的”， 该词又从意思为“从善”的动词prudesse 衍生而来。 我们现在明白prude 的历史充满了有利、利益、智慧或忠诚的意思， 但尽管如此，事情并没有变得那么好〔sound〕Free from moral defect; upright.没有道德缺点的；正直的〔incorruptible〕Incapable of being morally corrupted.正直的：道德不会堕落的〔honest〕Marked by or displaying integrity; upright:正直的：显示正直的；老实的：〔upright〕Adhering strictly to moral principles; righteous.诚实的，公正的：严格地坚守道德规范的；正直的，公正的〔dishonest〕Resulting from or marked by a lack of honesty.不诚实的；不正直的：由缺乏诚实而引起的，或以不正直为特征的〔good〕Of moral excellence; upright:品行极佳的；正直的：〔honesty〕A judge must be a person of unquestioned probity.法官必须是个无可争议的正直的人。〔worm〕To make one's way by artful or devious means:有技巧地解决：以狡诈的或不正直的手段前进：〔reflection〕a reflection on his integrity.对他正直的怀疑〔worm〕To elicit by artful or devious means.
