Some of these titles are inherited (= passed from father to son) and some are given to a person by the Queen for service to the country, for example in politics or business. A peer can use the title Lord or Lady before their name and, until recently, they could all sit in the House of Lords (= the upper house of the British parliament). Since 1999 most hereditary peers (= those who inherited their titles) have lost this right, but life peers (= who were given their titles by the Queen, but cannot pass them on) still have it. A peer can be either a man or a woman. When people talk about lords as a group, for example in the House of Lords, this often includes both men and women. * lord和peer在英国都可指有爵位的人，包括公爵、侯爵、伯爵、子爵或男爵。这些爵位有一些是世袭的，另一些则是因为对国家的政商等方面有贡献而由女王加封的。peer的姓名前面可以加Lord或Lady作为称呼，而且以前所有的peer都可以担任上议院议员，但现在不是这样了。自从1999年起，大多数世袭贵族都失去了这种权利，而终身贵族却依然享有这种权利。peer可以是男性或女性；lords用于指一个群体时，例如House of Lords（上议院），常包括男女贵族在内。■ noble [countable](especially in some European countries in the past) a person who comes from a family of high social rank, especially sb who has a special title （尤指旧时某些欧洲国家的）出身高贵的人，贵族成员◆The regime was supported by a group of powerful nobles.这个政权得到一群权贵的支持。 see also nobility ⇨ elite , noble ⇨ aristocratic ■ aristocrat /ˈærɪstəkræt; NAmE əˈrɪstəkræt/ [countable](especially in some European countries) a person who comes from a family of high social rank, especially sb who has a special title （尤指某些欧洲国家的）贵族◆At that time, diplomatic posts were filled by aristocrats.那时候，外交职务由贵族担任。◆He had the air of an aristocrat.他有贵族的派头。 see also aristocracy ⇨ elite , aristocratic ⇨ aristocratic ■ nobleman [countable](especially in some European countries in the past) a man who comes from a family of high social rank, especially sb who has a special title （尤指旧时某些欧洲国家的）出身高贵的人，贵族男成员◆He contemplated marrying his daughter to an English nobleman.他考虑把自己的女儿嫁给一位英国贵族。 see also noble ⇨ aristocratic NOTE 辨析 Noble, aristocrat or nobleman? Noble and nobleman are often used when talking about the political power which these people used to have; aristocrat places slightly more emphasis on the social importance of these people. In modern contexts it is more usual to talk about aristocrats. * noble和nobleman常用于谈论贵族过去所拥有的政治权力，aristocrat则稍侧重于强调这些人重要的社会地位。现代语境中更常用aristocrat。■ lady [countable](in Britain) a woman belonging to a high social class; a special title used by a woman of high social rank, or by a woman who has been made a peer and given the right to sit and vote in the House of Lords （英国）贵妇人，夫人，女士，小姐◆It is said that lords and ladies and royalty were entertained here.据说贵族和王室成员在这里接受款待。◆Lady Amos became a peer in 1997.阿莫斯夫人于1997年成为了贵族。 stare verb ➡ See also the entries for ⇨ glance and ⇨ look verb 1 另见glance条和look动词词条第1义stare ♦︎ gaze ♦︎ peer ♦︎ glare ♦︎ squint ♦︎ gawkThese words all mean to look at sb/sth for a long time. 这些词均表示凝视、注视。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆to stare / gaze / peer / glare / squint / gawk at sb / sth◆to stare / gaze / gawk in surprise / amusement, etc.◆to stare / gaze / peer / glare / squint for a moment◆to stare / gaze / peer / glare suspiciously◆to stare / gaze / peer anxiously / intently◆to stare / gaze / glare wildly / fiercely■ stare [intransitive] to look at sb/sth for a long time, especially with surprise or fear, or because you are thinking （尤指因吃惊、害怕或思考而）盯着看，凝视，注视◆I screamed and everyone stared.我尖叫了一声，众人都盯着我看。◆Peter stared in disbelief at the message on the screen.彼得满腹疑惑地注视着屏幕上的信息。◆He sat for hours just staring into space (= looking at nothing).他坐了几个小时，茫然地凝视着前方。 see also stare ⇨ look noun ■ gaze [intransitive] (especially written) to look steadily at sb/sth for a long time, especially with surprise or love, or because you are thinking （尤指因惊讶、爱慕或深思而）凝视，注视，盯着◆We all gazed at Marco in amazement.我们都惊讶地注视着马科。◆She gazed adoringly into his eyes.她用崇拜的眼神凝视着他的双眼。 see also gaze ⇨ look noun ■ peer [intransitive] to look closely or carefully at sth, especially when you cannot see it clearly （尤指看不清楚时）仔细看，端详◆We peered into the shadows.我们往阴暗处仔细瞧。◆She kept peering over her shoulder.她不停地回头看。■ glare [intransitive] to look angrily at sb/sth for a long time （长时间地）怒目而视◆I looked at her and she glared stonily back.我看了她一眼，她便冷冷地对我怒目而视。 see also glare ⇨ look noun ■ squint [intransitive, transitive] to look at sb/sth with your eyes partly shut in order to keep out bright light or to see better 瞇着眼睛看◆She was squinting through the keyhole.她瞇着眼往锁眼里看。◆When he squinted his eyes, he could just make out a house in the distance.他瞇着眼睛看，只能隐约看见远处有一所房子。■ gawk [intransitive] (informal) to stare at sb/sth in such an obvious way that it looks rude or stupid 无礼地瞪眼看；呆头呆脑地盯着看◆Stop gawking like that!别那样呆头呆脑地盯着看！ |
