abstemious (ab STEEM ee us) While its literal meaning can refer to mod-erate eating and drinking, it’s often associated with not drinking alcoholic beverages—perhaps because its sound is similar to “abstinence” (from the verb “abstain”). (It once had a primary sense of abstaining from alco-holic beverages but may now be used more for abstaining from premarital sex.) A related word for one who partakes of no alcoholic beverages is teetotaler, coined by the nineteenth-century Temperance movement.
- Accustomed to what he termed “the good life,” Smithers found prolonged visits with more abstemious relatives not only unpleasant but painful.
- Carrie Nation was not content with choosing a teetotaling life for herself; instead, she won her place in history with her habit of wielding her hatchet in public taverns.

节制的（ab STEEM ee us）虽然它的字面意思可以指代现代饮食，但它经常与不喝酒精饮料联系在一起，也许是因为它的发音类似于“禁欲”（来自动词“弃权”）。（它曾经有一个主要的含义是戒酒，但现在可能更多地用于婚前性行为。）一个与不喝酒精饮料的人相关的词是滴酒不沾，由19世纪的禁酒运动创造。
- 史密瑟斯习惯了他所说的“美好生活”，他发现与更节制的亲戚长时间的探访不仅令人不快，而且令人痛苦
- Carrie Nation并不满足于为自己选择滴酒不沾的生活；相反，她凭借在公共酒馆挥舞斧头的习惯赢得了自己在历史上的地位
