German term or phrase: Die Bindung des Gentlemanideals an die Klasse der Aristokratie
Die "Bindung des Gentlemanideals an die Klasse der Aristotkratie" meint sinngemnäß, dass das Ideal eng mit der Aristokratie als gesellschaftliche Klasse verbunden ist. Wie kann man in diesem Kontext das Wort "Bindung an" übersetzen? Eventuell als "the linkage between the gentlemanly ideal and the class of aristocracy"? Oder wie lässt sich der Sachverhalt sonst umschreiben?!

Explanation:
Some ideas:
Coupling the ideal of the gentleman with the aristocracy
Bond between the ideal of the gentleman and the aristocracy
The ideal of the gentleman is closely tied to the aristocracy
Close ties between the ideal of the gentleman and the aristocracy

It would help to have the whole sentence to work with as it might be better to avoid the awkward noun (Bindung) in the translation.

hope it helps
