看美剧学英语地道表达:High and mighty

High and mighty: Behaving as if you are much more important than other people. If you describe someone as high and mighty, you disapprove of them because they consider themselves to be very important and are confident that they are always right. As in I think you're a bit too high and mighty yourself.


中文释义:high and mighty 是口语里高频出现的表达,形容人表现得“高高在上,趾高气昂,自高自大” might作名词可表示“强大力量”,形容词mighty指“强大的,巨大的”。例句:He has become high and mighty since he got the new job.(他自从得了那份新工作后就变得神气活现。)
