tinhorn
基本解釋
- n.假裝有錢的；自命不凡而其實(shí)無能無勢的
英漢例句
- NOT the most glamorous of metals, tin seems to tarnish whatever it is linked with in the popular mind, whether it be tin-eared musicians, tinpot dictators or tinhorn braggarts.
因爲(wèi)沒有奪目的光澤，錫在語言中也是倍遭歧眡，無論是形容耳聾的（tin-eared）音樂家，惡毒的（tinpot）獨(dú)裁者還是形容華而不實(shí)的（tinhorn）吹噓，都會有它的存在。
