Meantime, the reins of discipline were slackened on me, so that without the restraint of due severity, I might play at whatsoever I fancied, even to the point of dissoluteness.

与此同时， 对我的管教也放松了，没有了应有的严厉约束，我就可以为所欲为，甚至放荡。

Besides, to strip it of its imaginary dignity, I must observe, that in the most civilized European states, this lip-service prevails in a very great degree, accompanied with extreme dissoluteness of morals.

此外，为了剥夺它想象中的尊严，我必须指出，在最文明的欧洲国家，这种口头服务在很大程度上盛行，伴随着极端的道德放荡。
