| 释义 | 〔bolthole〕"The book offered exotic escape, but one could imagine more alluring boltholes than an ascetic all-male community"(Anthony Burgess)“本书提供了一个奇异的逃避方法，但是人们可以设想一种比全部由男性组成的禁欲团体更具诱惑力的逃避方式”(安东尼·伯吉斯)〔mortification〕Discipline of the body and the appetites by self-denial or self-inflicted privation.禁欲：通过克己或自我苦行的方式对身体或欲望的束缚〔abstinence〕"To many, total abstinence is easier than total moderation" (Saint Augustine). “对许多人来说，完全适度比完全禁欲更难做到” （圣·奥古斯丁）。〔penance〕An act of self-mortification or devotion performed voluntarily to show sorrow for a sin or other wrongdoing.苦行，苦修：一种自我禁欲或虔诚的行为，用来表示悔罪或对过失的赎罪〔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 〔dervish〕A member of any of various Moslem ascetic orders, some of which perform whirling dances and vigorous chanting as acts of ecstatic devotion.（穆斯林）狂舞托钵僧，苦行僧：穆斯林禁欲僧侣，他们常以旋转的舞蹈和大声交谈表示其对宗教的狂热的虔诚〔Jainism〕An ascetic religion of India, founded in the sixth centuryb.c. , that teaches the immortality and transmigration of the soul and denies the existence of a perfect or supreme being. 耆那教：印度禁欲宗教，创立于公元前 6世纪，主张精神永恒存在和灵魂转世论，否认至高无上的人的存在 〔celibacy〕Abstinence from sexual intercourse, especially by reason of religious vows.禁欲：禁绝性关系，尤指因为宗教誓言而禁欲 |
