he never entered society without being ogled by the mamas, clapped on the back by the papas and simpered at by the girls . 在社交场合,他总是得到母亲们的青睐,父亲们的亲近和姑娘们的秋波。
i gave him a gentle clap on the shoulder 我在他肩膀上斯文的轻拍了一下。
he gave me a clap on the back and invited me for a drink 他在我背上拍了一下,请我去喝酒。
i could have said when he clapped on his topper . thank you 当他戴上那顶大礼帽时,我本该说声谢谢。
