boast, brag, crow, pride
这些动词均含有自夸,吹嘘之意。
1.boast : 普通用词,指对自己所做的事,自己的长处、财富以及家庭等的夸耀,常含言过其实的意味。
例如:It boasted the largest grain elevator in the world.(它自称有世界上最大的谷仓。)
2.brag : 非正式用词,其夸耀和吹嘘意味强于boast,到了过分夸大,有时令人讨厌的地步。
例如:Mary bragged that she could run faster than Jack.(玛丽夸口说她比杰克跑得快。)
3.crow : 多指大声吵嚷地吹嘘,夸耀自己做某事比他人做得好。
例如:You should not crow over a defeated enemy.
4.pride与boast的意义较接近:指炫耀、夸口,自鸣得意,常与反身代词连用。
例如:He prides himself upon his skill as a pianist.
