Spinster

(n.)

(old-fashioned, often disapproving) a woman who is not married, especially an older woman who is not likely to marry

老处女；老姑娘

（解说）This word should not now be used to mean simply a woman who is not married.

如今，不可用这个单词泛指未婚女子。

compare bachelor

引申：spinsterhood

(n.)

e.g. For most women, marriage used to bring a higher status than spinsterhood.

从前，就多数妇女而言，结婚的比独身的更有地位。
