A baronet is a British title for a man, passed down to his son when he dies. He stands below a baron in rank, but above a knight. People call him Sir, the same way they call a knight Sir, and his wife Lady; after his name you may see Bt. or Bart.

Though actually, a baronet is not a peer — he does not sit in the House of Lords with the barons and dukes. The title was created in the early 1600s and has always sat in a slightly odd place: hereditary and noble-sounding, but not quite the same club as a baron.
Though actually不過事實上, a baronet is not a peer準男爵並不是peer(貴族議員) — he does not sit in the House of Lords with the barons and dukes他不會跟男爵、公爵們一起坐在上議院裡. The title was created in the early 1600s這個頭銜是在1600年代初創立的 and has always sat in a slightly odd place而且它的位置一直有點尷尬: hereditary and noble-sounding是世襲的、聽起來很尊貴, but not quite the same club as a baron但跟baron又不是同一個等級
You meet the word in British history, old novels, and family names, not in everyday American talk. It is formal, and it is about rank, not about whether the man is rich or kind.
You meet the word in British history, old novels, and family names你會在英國歷史、老小說和家族姓氏裡遇到這個字, not in everyday American talk而不是在美國人的日常對話裡. It is formal這個字很正式, and it is about rank, not about whether the man is rich or kind講的是階級,跟這個人有不有錢或善不善良沒有關係
