不知道你有没有遇到过这种人,在别人诉说自己的经历时,他/她会马上分享一个相似的故事,不过结局一定比前面那个人所说的更精彩。这就是处处都要压人一头、胜人一筹的one-upper。
One-upper is an annoying person who responds to hearing someone else’s experience or problem by immediately telling a similar story about themselves with a much more fantastic (or terrible) outcome.
One-upper是这样一种人:在听完别人的经历或问题后,马上就会分享自己的一个相似的故事,但结局总要比前面那个人说的故事精彩(或糟糕)得多。这种人相当令人讨厌。
