elder

1 Ambuya had seemed full of confidence and even—if such a thing were possible with an elder—mischief.

2 If you dishonored your ancestors in some fashion, the only way to atone for that lapse was to consult with a traditional healer or tribal elder, who communicated with the ancestors and conveyed profound apologies.

3 “We have to move because this location is not good for our cows anymore,” one elder would say.

4 I had been disrespectful of an elder, and that is very bad in our society.

5 Women in front of elders or guests to a headscarf to show respect.

妇女在长辈或客人面前,必须戴头巾,以示尊重.

6 Once, the elder of the two turned around and smiled at me with an evil smile.

有一回，年长的那个回过身来，冲我不怀好意地笑了笑。

7 And he says in satori-accented Korean, Hey you, arrogant youth, stop doing all that work and come drink with an elder.

8 I don't smack them, but I sometimes think I should, because the elder two have so much attitude.

我不打他们，但有时我真觉得我该打他们，因为那两个大的非常不听管教。

部落长老

他哥哥

14 How many times had she been told that no proper member of an upright Confucian family ever questioned the conduct of elders?

15 The two women set up a studio there, aided by elder daughter Johanna, who soon afterward headed to Surinam herself.

16 The elders were gathered at the front of the tent.

长老们聚集在帐篷的前面.

17 He was not comfortable with these men—that was it—it was difficult for him to accept them as his elders and betters in the faith.

18 But it was customary to always be respectful of your elders, a lesson that had been drilled into her since she was a baby.

19 And as he drew nearer he said, in the same loud voice, “And how well you have fared! And your father, my elder brother, he is well?”

20 The chief elder held up his hands for complete silence, then nodded.
