Mistress is a more old-fashioned word, and is often used to describe the sexual partners of powerful men such as kings or politicians. * lover可以是男子也可是女子，而mistress只能是女子，而且没有与mistress相对的词来表示这种男子。mistress是个较为过时的词，常指国王或政客等有权势者的性伴侣◆While he had no children with his wife, King Charles II fathered eight sons by his five mistresses.虽然查理二世跟自己的妻子没有孩子，但却跟他的五个情妇生有八个儿子。 ■ concubine ˈkɒŋkjubaɪn; NAmE ˈkɑːŋkjubaɪn [countable](especially in some societies in the past) a woman who lives with a man, often in addition to his wife or wives, but who is less important than they are （尤指旧时某些社会里的）妾，姨太太，小老婆◆The sultan's wives and concubines lived in the harem.苏丹的妻妾都住在女眷内室里。■ gigolo ˈʒɪgələʊ, ˈdʒɪgələʊ; NAmE ˈʒɪgəloʊ(plural gigolos) [countable] a man who is paid to be the lover of an older woman, usually one who is rich 舞男；面首◆It was a slick nightclub where the waiters flirted like gigolos.这个夜总会不太规矩，侍者像舞男一样调情嬉笑。
