喜樂美語
  1. 1

    The gentry are people who belong to a high social class, especially in Britain in older times. They were not kings or lords with titles like duke, but they had land, money, and “good” family names, and they sat above ordinary farmers and workers. People still say “the landed gentry” for that old country class. Today the word can also point, a little , at people in general — “the local gentry showed up in their best coats.” It is not a word for one polite man (that is a gentleman). It is a group word, and it smells a little of class and old money.

    士紳、鄉紳（不是日常說的「紳士」，那較常指有禮貌的男士）
