Do you like fast fashion and hate humblebragging? Those terms didn't exist just a year ago—until Merriam-Webster Dictionary made them official, along with these other funny phrases.

你喜欢快时尚,讨厌谦虚自夸吗?就在一年前这些术语还不存在,直到韦氏词典把它们与其他一些有趣的短语正式收录进词典中。


Humblebrag

谦虚自夸


Often found on social media, the humblebrag is a boast disguised as self deprecation. Most legitimately used in job interviews to answer the dreaded trick question, "What is your worst quality?" There is no other answer but a humblebrag.

谦虚自夸就是用自贬作为掩饰来自夸,而且经常会从社交媒体上看到这样的帖子。最合理的用法是在工作面试中回答那个刁钻的问题,"你最不擅长什么?"除了谦虚自夸没有别的答案了。
