prioress

音標(biāo)發(fā)音

The sub-prioress was an old Spanish nun, Mother Cineres, who was almost blind.
副院長(zhǎng)是個(gè)眼睛幾乎瞎了的西班牙籍老脩女，西內(nèi)萊斯嬤嬤。
The prioress, without adding a word, rose and entered the adjoining room, which was the hall of the chapter, and where the vocal mothers were probably assembled.
院長(zhǎng)沒(méi)有再說(shuō)別的話，她起身走到隔壁屋子裡去了，隔壁的那間屋子便是會(huì)議室，蓡議嬤嬤們也許正在那裡開(kāi)會(huì)。
In addition to these worthy mothers, some old society women had obtained permission of the prioress, like Madame Albertine, to retire into the Little Convent.
除了這些真正夠得上稱爲(wèi)嬤嬤的以外，還有幾個(gè)紅塵中的老婦人也和阿爾貝爾丁夫人一樣，獲得了院長(zhǎng)的許可，退隱在那小院裡。

The prioress at the convent seems not to have been a Bunnykins fan.
