1:Mr Nicolson has taken 12 families who are scattered all over England (strictly speaking, one is in Wales), and, using letters, diaries and legal documents, told their stories at a particular date and crisis in their existence.2:He has produced a wonderful portrait of England and the families that were its bedrock.3:The tale begins 600 years ago with the Plumptons, caught up in the Wars of the Roses, and concludes with the Cliffords, who have owned and farmed the same corner of Gloucestershire for almost 1,000 years.4:Whereas the core values of grace, enterprise and chivalry were crucial to the gentry 's idea of themselves, Mr Nicolson makes it clear that money and conflict were as important as blood and family.[...]115:The gentry were a flexible class and lived a life of struggle and competition.6:There was no certainty.7:Survival was what mattered and there was much hedging of bets.

1:尼克森从分布在英格兰各个地方（严格说，有一个在威尔士）的十二个家族着手，并利用相关的信件、日记、和法律文书，讲述他们某段时间里的故事和生活中的危机。2:他描绘英国壮丽的景象，而这些家庭则构成了英国的牢固基础。3:故事从在600年前玫瑰战争中没落的Plumpton家族说起，到在格洛斯特郡拥有同一处土地并耕作1000年之久的Clifford家族结束。4:虽然乡绅阶级自认一些例如优雅，进取和骑士风度这样的核心价值是他们的重要特点，尼克森明确指出钱、斗争同血缘、家庭一样重要。[...]115:乡绅阶层善于适应新的环境，他们的生活中无处不乏竞争和奋斗。6:生活没有确定性。7:生存下来才是关键，他们擅于骑墙，确保自己不吃亏。

1: Today the term “gentry ” in Britain evokes “the introductory chat at an upper-middle-class dinner party—how did you get here, who do you know, how is Aletheia?” 2: It suggests a cosy, genteel, exclusive and somewhat smug world in which background and family are deemed more important than individual qualities. 3: It is also often preceded by the word “landed”. 4: The launch of “Burke's Landed Gentry ”, an encyclopedic tome first published in 1826, is partly responsible for this (though the ownership of land ceased to be a requirement for a family to appear in the book as long ago as the 1920s). [...]115: But the principal reason is that the story of the gentry is all “about Land”.

1:如今在英国“乡绅”这个词让人想到的就是“在一个上流社会的晚宴上开始闲聊的前奏——你怎么过来的啊？你认识谁呢？阿莱西娅最近可好呀？”2:这表明在这个亲切、高雅、排外，甚至几分自鸣得意的阶层里，一个人的背景和出身比他的品性更为重要。3:"乡绅"的前面也经常会加上“有土地的”这个词。4: 这个词(即 landed gentry)的普及有一部份原因归功于1826年初版的百科全书式大本书《伯克乡绅名录》。（尽管早在上世纪二十年代，拥有土地便不再是一个家庭载入史册的必要条件）。 [...]115:但其主要原因在于所有关于乡绅的故事都和“土地”密不可分。

1:Adam Nicolson has written many books on history and the countryside, including two about his family's properties at opposite ends of the British Isles, Sissinghurst Castle in Kent and the Shiant Isles in the Outer Hebrides.2:Now he has turned his attention to the class to which his family can be said to belong.[...]113:His grandmother, Vita Sackville-West, was unashamedly a member of the aristocracy but Mr Nicolson states that the gentry has always been composed of “Gentle Ungentles”, younger sons and daughters of old families who have declined into the gentry, and “Ungentle Gentles”, people of more humble origin who through their ability and achievements have advanced up the social ladder.

1:亚当·尼克森写过很多以历史和农村为题材的著作，其中包括介绍他家位于不列颠群岛两端的两处房产：肯特州的悉心赫斯特城堡和外赫布里斯群岛的西恩特群岛。2:现在他已经将注意力转向他家族所在的阶层。[...]113:他的祖母，维塔·萨克维尔·维斯特，是一位生活无所顾忌贵族。 但是尼克森指出乡绅阶层是由两种人组成的：“出身绅士的平民”，他们出身于已退变为乡绅阶层的旧式家族的年轻一代；“出身平民的绅士”，也就是那些出身卑微，但是凭借自己的能力和成就挤入上层社会的人。
