英文释义

名词 n.
  1. Synonym of Carolean.

形容词 adj.
  1. Synonym of Carolean (“relating to the time of Kings Charles I and II of England or Charles III of the United Kingdom, or of the kings themselves”). not-comparable
    — For that poem, though in certain ‘strange and high’ qualities it is the inferior of the best jets of the Caroline genius, is one of the most faultless and perfect things in this or indeed in any period of English poetry, and may be said to impart the Caroline essence in a form that can be (in the medical sense) ‘borne’ by all who have any feeling for poetry at all, as hardly anything else does.
专有名词
  1. A female given name from the Germanic languages.
    — - - - gentle Sophias milk your cows, and if you ask a pretty smiling girl at a cottage door to tell you her name, the rosy lips lisp out Caroline. A great number of children, amongst the lower classes, are Carolines. That does not, however, wholly proceed from the love of the appellation; though I believe that a queen Margery or a queen Sarah would have had fewer namesakes.
