王先生是个正人,这次为正义被逼而走,喜欢走得热闹点,减少去职的凄黯,不肯私奔似的孑身溜掉。
Wang was an upright man.Now that he was being forced out because of his principles, he liked having a little excitement attendant on his leaving to lessen the dreariness of his departure and didn't want to slip off alone as though eloping.
[钱钟书《围城》]


阿Q本来也是正人,我们虽然不知道他曾蒙什么明师指授过,但他对于“男女之大防”㈠却历来非常严;也很有排斥异端——如小尼姑及假洋鬼子之类——的正气。
> Now our Ah Q started out as an upright man too. Though we don't know if this was because he had been shown the way by some enlightened teacher, we do know that he rigorously observed the great barrier that should be 'twixt the he and the she and was well endowed with a sense of moral uprightness that made him despise heretical behavior such as that of the young nun or the Fake Foreign Devil. (Lyell)
> Ah Q, too, was a man of strict morals to begin with. Although we do not know whether he was guided by some good teacher, he had always shown himself most scrupulous in observing “strict segregation of the sexes,” and was righteous enough to denounce such heretics as the little nun and the Bogus Foreign Devil. (Yangs)
> Until this point in his career, Ah-Q had been blessed with a character that was rigid in its uprightness. Although we have no way of knowing whether he had ever received personal moral guidance from any celebrated spiritual authority, he had always strictly upheld classically ordained prohibitions concerning the segregation of the sexes, and rejected - with righteous bile - the conduct of heretics such as the young nun or the Fake Foreign Devil. (Lovell)
