adj. 清教徒的;极端拘谨的 

President Obama is right about the need for more responsibility, but for those of you who have been responsible, this is the time to disregard those puritanical whispers and buy something fun. 奥巴马说人们要有担当,这没错。 但是对那些一贯负责任的人来说,现在无需理会那些清教徒的耳语,去买些有意思的玩意儿吧。
Perhaps the most notable quality of the Christian sex business is that it is evangelical, not puritanical. 或许基督教性产业最显著的特征在于,它是原教主义的,而非清教徒式的。
