 formalist
 拘泥形式的人,形式主義者,死板的

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Form·al·ist, n.  One overattentive to forms, or too much confined to them; esp., one who rests in external religious forms, or observes strictly the outward forms of worship, without possessing the life and spirit of religion.
 As far a formalist from wisdom sits,
 In judging eyes, as libertines from wits.   --Young.
