backseat driver 喜欢指手画脚的人

分类: 英语学习方法 

“指手画脚”,意思是一边说话一边比画,形容随意发号施令或乱加批评(make indiscreet remarks or criticisms)。而“喜欢指手画脚的人”可以翻译为“backseat driver”,表示someone who tells others how to do things;a person who interferes in affairs without having knowledge, responsibility, or authority for doing so”。

例句:

尽管玛丽能独自完成这个项目,约翰还是忍不住指手画脚,告诉她该怎么做。

Although Mary was capable of completing the project on her own, John couldn't stop himself from being a backseat driver and telling her what to do.

别再缠着我提你的建议了。没人喜欢指手画脚的人!

Stop pestering me with all your advice. Nobody likes a backseat driver!
