吹嘘,自吹自擂 bragging
有些人就是喜欢自吹自擂…哈哈,今天我们就看一下怎么用英语表达。
先看看一位老外对”自吹自擂”这个概念的看法。
I don't really like bragging. I prefer to be modest in how I act if I do really well. I mean when I got 100% in my final exam in Accounting 100 I did not go around telling everybody how good I was...The people I did tell my mark to, I said to them that I just can't believe the mark I got. To think... I got a perfect mark for a university exam....I still am amazed at that. Whereas if I was bragging it would have been me saying to everyone "oh look how good I am... I got 100% in that exam"
对了,大家应该已经看到,用brag这个单词就可以表示”吹嘘,自吹自擂”.
Brag: to talk too proudly about what you have done, what you own etc - used to show disapproval
通常搭配是: brag about sth
