civil person meaning in English

有教养的人

She had been told that , rough and brutal as they seemed just then , they were not like this all the year round , but were , in fact , quite civil persons save during certain weeks of autumn and winter , when , like the inhabitants of the malay peninsula , they ran amuck , and made it their purpose to destroy life - in this case harmless feathered creatures , brought into being by artificial means solely to gratify these propensities - at once so unmannerly and so unchivalrous towards their weaker fellows in nature s teeming family
她曾经听人说过，他们那时候似乎粗鲁野蛮，但不是一年到头都是这样，其实他们都是一些十分文明的人，只是在秋天或冬天的几个星期里，才像马来半岛上的居民那样杀气腾腾，一味地杀害生灵他们猎杀的这些与人无害的羽毛生物，都是为了满足他们这种杀生嗜好而预先用人工培养出来的那个时候，他们对大自然芸芸众生中比他们弱小的生灵，竟是那样地粗野，那样地残酷。
