presence 是一个很普通的英语单词，最原始的意思是”出席，到场”，今天在做一个翻译的单子时，发现它还有另一个我们平时用得不太多的意思，还有”风度，气质，仪态”的意思，比如：
The fans’ presence has been most striking, though, at the table tennis arena.
不过，球迷们在乒乓球场上的风度最为引人注目。
presence, “风度”的意思，朗文词典是这样解释的：the ability to appear impressive to people because of your appearance or the way you behave. For example:
a man of great presence: 很有风度的男子
She has a strong voice but absolutely no stage presence.
她的声音很有震撼力，但完全没有舞台表现力。
She has a great screen presence.
她在银幕上的表现很出色。
He remained a dominant presence in the art world.
在艺术界仍有他的风采。
They do not seem to have the vast, authoritative presence of those great men.
他们看起来似乎没有那些伟人的轩昂气度和威严。
再比如《杀死一只知更鸟》里：
Until Jem and Dill excluded me from their plans, she was only another lady in the neighborhood, but a relatively benign presence.
benign /bɪˈnaɪn/ 和蔼的，亲切的
在杰姆和迪儿把我踢出他们的方案之前，她都仅仅是街坊邻居中的一位女士，不过比较慈爱罢了。
