■a person with censorious moral beliefs, especially about pleasure and sex
(尤指在快乐和性方面)严格遵循道德信仰的人 - The Puritans were Protestants who, dissatisfied with the elements of Catholicism retained by the Elizabethan religious settlement, sought a further purification of the Church from supposedly unscriptural forms. At first they tried to rid the Church of ornaments, vestments, organs, etc.; from 1570 the more extreme attacked the institution of episcopacy itself, wishing to substitute government by Church elders (Presbyterianism). Oppressed under James I and Charles I, in particular by Archbishop Laud, many (such as the Pilgrim Fathers) emigrated to the Netherlands and America. The Civil War of the 1640s led to the temporary pre-eminence of Puritanism. Soon, however, the movement fragmented into sects, and the term Puritan began to be less used; after the Restoration such people tended to be called Dissenters or Nonconformists
