💡 深入解读
Hubris 是一个与常见单词 debris (残骸、碎片、破片)结尾相同的单词,该词于1884年逆构自英语形容词 hubristic (傲慢的、自大的、自恃的),或者说源自希腊悲剧用语hybris(肆无忌惮的暴力、蛮横、暴行),最初进入英语后也是指招来天谴(nemesis)并最终导致自己毁灭的“傲睨神明、狂妄野心”。不过发展到现在, hubris 更多的是泛化表示“傲慢、狂妄、自大、自恃”,即过分骄傲的说话或行为方式,往往意味着带有这种说话或行为方式的人无视法律和警告,从而导致自己下台、受到惩罚甚至死亡,
比如:
The nominal head of our company was punished for his hubris.我们公司名义上的老板因为自大而受到了惩罚。
My sage old grandfather told me to say no to hubris and prejudice.我那睿智的老祖父告诉我应该摒弃傲慢和偏见。
Come on. Show some hubris. Come on, impress me.影视用例查看视频请点击:小词详解 | hubris
