Ví dụ
In the popular imagination, Roosevelt arrived in the Badlands a sickly, pale figure, pampered (nuông chiều) by the privileged (có đặc quyền) comforts of New York’s silk stocking district and unequipped for the rigors of the Dakota Territory frontier (biên giới).

From the stately (trang nghiêm) architecture (kiến trúc) of the homes to its name plucked from a world of privilege, the Silk Stocking district hearkens back to a prosperous era (kỉ nguyên thịnh vượng) in Kokomo’s history.

Unlike de Blasio, Lindsay had been thought to be a future presidential candidate for years. Tall, handsome and charismatic (thuyết phục), he began his career as a liberal Republican from the old Silk Stocking district on the East Side of Manhattan. He was elected mayor (thị trưởng) in 1965 on a promise to reinvigorate (truyền cảm hứng) city leadership, take on the so-called “power brokers,” and halt the city’s by-then evident decline. In an era of suburbanization (ngoại ô hóa) and white flight, Lindsay made urban issues matter.
