英文释义
名词 n.
-
A person from, or an inhabitant of, London.
— But the raw material that the Underground had to work on - Londoners themselves - was possibly not of the best. In 1905 Charles Yerkes had said: Londoners are the worst people to get a move on I ever knew. To see them board and get off a train one thinks they had a thousand years to do it in; still they are getting better, and in the end I shall work them down to an allowance of thirty seconds.
词源
