a. steeped in ale,ale-fuddled,i.e. witsdulled by drinking too much ale泡在啤酒里的,被啤酒弄糊涂的,(意指)啤酒喝得太多弄得头脑迟钝的。 △H.V.3.6.82(76): “and what a beard of the general's cut and ahorrid suit of the camp will do among foaming bottlesand ale-washed wits,is wonderful to be thought on.”一部像将军那种样式的胡子,加上一身很能吓唬人的大兵制服,借助于泛着泡沫的酒瓶子,对于那些喝啤酒喝得糊糊涂涂的人们可以产生什么样的效果,想一想真是有趣。
