a. blamable,blameworthy该受责备的，该受谴责的。 △Lr.3.5.6 (5): “I now perceive,it was notaltogether your brother’s evil disposition made him(= Edgar) seek his (= Gloucester’s) death; but a pro-voking merit,set a-work by a reproveable badness inhimself (= Gloucester).”我现在看出来，你哥哥所以要谋害他的性命，并非完全由于生性邪恶，而是他自己该受谴责的坏处激发了你哥哥的杀心。(按：对这句话有种种不同解释，只采取一种比较浅明易懂者。)
