Orwell would later write in a tone of pedantic irony that his family was among the “lower-upper-middle-class” ranks that dotted Edwardian society.
-------------------------------------------
I'd like to draw your attention to the phrase pedantic irony, which may shed light on the meaning of lower-upper-middle-class , and help in finding an equivalent for it in Chinese.
In other words, all the contextual clues needed for understanding what is meant by lower-upper-middle-class is already here and there is no need for more.
