A good husband is also loyal and takes care of his wife, but is not usually expected to obey her. 表达此义时，good常用来修饰孩童或狗，但也可用来修饰忠诚的妻子或仆人，尤其是在要求妻子或仆人顺从的社会中。good husband指忠诚的、呵护妻子的丈夫，但通常不要求他听命于妻子。 OPP bad , naughty ⇨ naughty ■ obedient əˈbiːdiənt (of a person or animal) doing what they are told to do （人或动物）顺从的，服从的◆He was always obedient to his father's wishes.他一向顺从父亲的意愿。◆Did he really expect her to trot right after him, like an obedient dog?他真的想让她紧随在后，像条顺从的狗一样吗？ OPP disobedient ⇨ naughty   see also obey ⇨ follow 3 ▸ obedience
