Everybody's heard of the H. Bronfman Clothiers Black Friday sale where the hoi polloi fight over tuxedos like animals.

大家都听说过 H·布朗夫曼服装的黑五促销，那时候大伙儿像动物一样疯狂争抢晚礼服。

It goes without saying that monarchs are heavily guarded and don’t take the risk of rubbing shoulders with the hoi polloi.

不言而喻， 君主戒备森严，不会冒险与 hoi polloi 擦肩而过。

The question is whether the many, the hoi polloi who make up the body of the existing city, can ever be philosophical.

问题是，构成现有城市主体的大众，是否可以是哲学的。
