a person who does not like or understand art, literature, music, etc. 对文化艺术无知的人；文化修养低的人 In artistic matters he’s a complete philistine. 在艺术方面，他是个十足的庸人。 She dismissed critics of her work as philistines. 她把批评她作品的人斥为庸俗。
Word Originfrom French Philistin, via late Latin from Greek Philistinos, from Hebrew pělištī. The current sense arose as a result of a confrontation between town and gown in Jena, Germany, in the late 17th cent.; a sermon on the conflict quoted from the Bible: “the Philistines are upon you” (Judges 16), which led to an association between the townspeople and those hostile to culture.
