in (/of)bad (/philistine) taste; not appeal to refined taste;be too low to enter polite company;be unrefined (/unpresentable); be unqualified to take its place in the higher circles; vulgar ? 我們看慣了繪畫史的插圖上，沒有“連環(huán)圖畫”，名人的作品的展覽會上，不是“羅馬夕照”，就是“西湖晚涼”，便以為那是一種下等物事，不足以登“大雅之堂”的。(《魯迅選集》 Ⅲ—158) In the histories of art to which we are accustomed we find no repro ductions from “picture books”，while exhibitions of the work of known artists show either “Rome in the Twilight”or “The West Lake at Dusk”. Evidently picture books are considered too low to enter polite company.
