翻譯公司帶你學(xué)雙語(yǔ)知識：愛(ài)擺架子的人

A stuffed shirt是指那些愛(ài)擺架子，表現得神氣十足的人。

例句-1: "My boss is a stuffed shirt: all he talks about is how important his ancestors are, how he was number one in his class at his university, and the wonderful things he thinks he's done for our company."

“我的老板老是愛(ài)擺架子，吹噓自己。他一開(kāi)口就是說(shuō)他的祖先的地位有多么重要，他在大學(xué)念書(shū)時(shí)又如何成為他們班里的第一名，還自稱(chēng)對我們公司作出了多大的貢獻等等。”

下面這個(gè)例子是一個(gè)選民在談?wù)撍麑蜻x人的看法：

例句-2: "I think I'll vote for Jimmy Brown instead of the other guy James Leland Elegant the third. Jimmy ins't a stuffed shirt like Elegant -- he's a friendly, informal guy like us ordinary people."

他說(shuō)：“我想我會(huì )投布朗的票，而不投那個(gè)看來(lái)很高雅的利蘭。布朗不像利蘭那么神氣活現。他很友好、隨和，就像我們普通老百姓一樣。”
