Kibitzer: 瞎提建议的人
日常生活中,有没有遇到过这么一类人?别人做事时,他总在旁边叽叽喳喳、指手画脚,并以此为乐?而且,更为糟糕的是,它的建议常被认为是“瞎掰”。俚语kibitzer很恰切地描述了这类人。 Kibitzer源与动词kibitz,其词根可追溯到德语词kiebitz(一种唧唧喳喳、乱叫不停的鸟,又名田凫)。在德语中,kiebitz的另一相应名词形式kiebitzen指“观牌者”;但在英语中,由此词根演变而来的kibitzer则表示“乱出主意、瞎提建议的人”。其相应动词kibitz则形容“乱发议论、瞎指挥”,如:kibitz a card game(看玩纸牌时瞎指挥)。 Harry moved about, kibitzing on conversations here and there.(哈里走来走去,这里插几句,那里讲一阵。)
