英文释义

名词 n.
  1. Openings for ventilation in Ancient Roman aqueducts.
    — All such expressions can never be elevated into lasting dignity, however closely they may be associated with the genius of a Swift or a Butler (just as low-life may be associated with the genius of Hogarth); nay, though they may have the high sanction of parliamentary authority; and certainly, though not omnipotent, it can produce very extraordinary effects upon the verbal currency of the kingdom; so that instead of the Parliament being that colluviarium of corruption, it is evidently a fountain of influence as well as of political power.
