charlestonian n. 查尔斯顿(美国西弗吉尼亚州首府) (Charleston的变形)
- His voice was oddly pleasant to the ear, the well-modulated voice of a gentleman, resonant and overlaid with the flat slow drawl of the Charlestonian.
他那声音,她听来觉得分外愉快,是一个上等人的节奏抑扬的调子,响亮而带有查尔斯顿人的平稳、和缓、悠长的韵味。 - Do you remember at the bar¬becue, the day our engagement was announced, that a man named Butler, a Charlestonian by his accent, nearly caused a fight by his remarks about the ignorance of Southerners?
当时,有位叫巴特勒的先生,听口音大概是查尔斯顿人,他只是评价了几句南方人的无知,就差点挑起一场争端。
