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■aristocratˈærɪstəkræt; NAmEəˈrɪstəkræt [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 ⇨ aristocraticNOTE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。
