To exploit this demand, pawnbrokers are shedding their dingy, Dickensian image. 为了开拓市场，典当商人正在试图摆脱他们过去阴暗的狄更斯时代的形象。
Prepare yourself for a Dickensian romp complete with snow, street urchins and gentlemen in waistcoats. 准备好迎接狄更生式的，包含积雪、街头顽童和穿着马甲的绅士的轻松情节。
The lyrics is a collision of the Dickensian and the modern, in which pastoral idyll collides against urban sprawl. 歌词则是狄更斯风格和现代风格的碰撞，充满牧歌般的田园与杂乱无章的城市之间的冲突。
The Dickensian view is that factories replaced a rural idyll with urban misery, poverty, pollution and illness. 在狄更斯的笔下，工厂以城市的苦难、贫穷、污染和疾病代替了农村的田园诗。
The working conditions are dark and somewhat Dickensian but are improving steadily over the years. 虽然工作环境如“狄更斯式”的昏暗，但每年都会有些改善。
