adornment 门面

8

Adornment的意思是“装饰品”。

Free Dictionary给出了两个解释embellishment, ornamentation,就是“抽象意义上的门面或者脸面”。

She had managed to instill in her household a European sense of children as graceful adornments to the parents, as opposed to our ugly American democratic style, with even an infant given his noisy vote in all proceedings.

她极力在自己的家里培养欧洲意义上的孩子,从而使他们成为父母的一种体面的装饰,而不像我们丑陋的美国民主生活作风,即使婴儿也可以通过哭喊对许多事表达他们的意见。
