adj. worldly-wise
大家都觉得她是一个精于世故的女孩。
如果精于世故的神学家或后现代相对主义者认为,通过淡化存在的重要性,他们正在将上帝从多余的废物堆中拯救出来,那么他们应当三思。
If sophisticated theologians or postmodern relativists think they are rescuing God from the redundancy scrap-heap by downplaying the importance of existence, they should think again.
而你却因为人家偶尔表示了喜欢便乐滋滋的,殊不知这是一个出身名门的绅士,一个精于世故的人对一个下属、一个初出毛庐的人所作的暧昧表示。
And you have derived pleasure from occasional tokens of preference -- equivocal tokens shown by a gentleman of family and a man of the world to a dependent and a novice.
