a disposition not to be liberal (generous) with money
造句
The illiberality of parents, in allowance towards their children, is an harmful error; makes them base; acquaints them with shifts; makes them sort with mean company; and makes them surfeit more when they come to plenty. 在子女小時不應(yīng)對他們過于苛吝。否則會使他們變得卑賤，甚至投機(jī)取巧，以至墮入下流，即使后來有了財富時也不會正當(dāng)利用。
