puritanic

their sailor sweethearts smell them miles off shore , as though they were drawing nigh the odorous Moluccas instead of the Puritanic sands .

她们那些水手情郎在离岸老远的地方就闻得到那股香味，仿佛他们是驶近了香气四溢的丁香群岛，而不是到了清教徒的沙漠。

This personage prefigured and represented in his aspect the whole dismal severity of the Puritanic code of law , which it was his business to administer in its final and closest application to the offender .

这个角色的尊容便是清教徒法典全部冷酷无情的象征和代表，对触犯法律购人最终和最直接执法则是他的差事。

Blue laws ; the puritan work ethic ; puritanic distaste for alcohol ; she was anything but puritanical in her behavior .

严格的法律；严谨的职业道德；对酒的严格禁止；她的行为决不是严谨的。

Here , indeed , in the sable simplicity that generally characterised the Puritanic modes of dress , there might be an infrequent call for the finer productions of her handiwork .

诚然，在这里，请教徒们的服饰一般以深黑和简朴为特色，她那些精美的针线活儿可能很少有人间津。
