  Spinster老女人

  A spinster is an unmarried woman who is past the usual age for marrying and is considered unlikely to marry. An 18-year-old single woman would not be considered a spinster in contemporary language, but a single, 40-year-old woman may be considered a spinster. The term is synonymous with "old maid". Several dictionaries flag it as a derogatory term.

  老女人指的是已经过了该结婚的年龄却还未结婚,而且不太容易嫁的出去的未婚女子。在现代语言中一个18岁的单身女性是不会被称为老女人的,但是单身40的女人可能会被称为老女人。这个词与“老处女”同义。许多字典认为它带有贬损侮辱的意思。

  代表人物:由于此词带有侮辱性,暂不举例。
