星期天,我们到朋友Helen家看录像带。她的弟弟正在电脑旁打报告,抬头向我们打了一声招呼后,完全不受干扰的又继续埋头工作。
Helen说:“我们看我们的电影,不必管他,he is such an egghead!”“鸡蛋脸?不会吧!我觉得他应该算是方面大耳的国字脸呀!“我如此的回答。
看我一本正经的模样,大家都笑了起来。原来,Egghead是指那些有呆气的读书人或者爱讲道理的知识分子,和什么脸形,面相都无关系!
egghead n (infml derog 口, 贬) very intellectual person 很有学问的人:
* The eggheads at the university know nothing about business. 大学的饱学之士对做生意一窍不通.
