| Refs: | daij nikk daijs: 世間的な名誉や利益などに心を奪われている、つまらない人物。俗人。 nikk: 世俗の物や人。また、無学な人や無風流な人。金銭や世間の名声を第一として、芸術や恋愛の情趣を解さない人。 "snob" is tricky because "a person with an exaggerated respect for high social position or wealth who seeks to associate with social superiors and looks down on those regarded as socially inferior" is pretty spot-on but "a person who believes that their tastes in a particular area are superior to those of other people." is not at all right "worldly" is only partially right as well - it's not just "uninterested in spiritual matters" |
