昨天中午下楼去吃饭，在电梯里碰上了一个头发蓬乱、穿着一身皱巴巴棉服的老人，就听见旁边的同事小声嘀咕~怎么咱们大厦还让收废品的进来！等出了电梯我赶紧跟她小声说道：“你傻啊，这位可是咱们学校新来的校长！”
唉，真是没辙，在生活中有些人老是戴着有色眼镜来看人，明明自己没多牛，还总是小瞧别人……得嘞，那今儿个就来跟大家说一说这个“小看他人”用英语怎么来说，其实挺简单的~“look down one’s nose at”, 字面上看，这个短语是“用你的鼻子看什么”，引申过来就是“藐视、瞧不起”的意思，这个表达有点像咱们中文里“你别老拿鼻孔看人”如出一辙。同时还有另外一个地道的表达–look down on (someone or something)也是一个意思，这就更好理解啦，如果你总是摆出一副居高临下的样子来看待别人，可不就是“往下看某人”瞧不起别人嘛！
