英文詞源
- blowhard (n.)
- also blow-hard, 1840, a sailor's word (from 1790 as a nickname for a sailor), perhaps not originally primarily meaning "braggart;" from blow (v.1) + hard (adv.). An adjective sense of "boastful" appeared c. 1855, and may be a separate formation leading to a modified noun use.
雙語例句
- 1. I don't want to sit next to that old blowhard.
- 我不想坐在那個愛自吹自擂的老人旁邊.
