applaudit

释义

1. 讚揚；恭維

   archaic

   In my heart I inwardly cursed the Catholic world, but my soul was touched with compassion for this poor, old soul, wandering around in a big city, afraid to return to her shelter that night on account of not having secured enough money to appease an infamous and greedy priestcraft that they might receive an applaudit from Rome.

   1900, Robert Seth McCallen, The Devil in robes, or, The sin of priests:

   For despite all the glamour of popular applaudits, the spirit of greed a world develops in man, or the allurements of self-indulgence, on a close analysis as to their relationship to life it develops that they are but misleading baits.

   尽管大众的赞扬、贪婪的精神、放纵的诱惑，以及它们与生活的关系，都充满了魅力，但仔细分析就会发现，它们只不过是误导性的诱饵。
