小心眼

字號(hào):


    He is narrow-minded.他很小心眼。
    If you describe someone as narrow-minded,you are criticizing them because they are unwilling to consider new ideas orother people's opinions.
    對(duì)于心眼很小、看不開(kāi)的人你就可以說(shuō)他是narrow-minded.例如有人總是見(jiàn)不得別人好,你就可以說(shuō):You are narrow-minded.
    相對(duì)于narrow-minded 的就是open-minded,形容心胸寬大,凡事都很看得開(kāi),也可以指一個(gè)人沒(méi)有先入為主的觀念,能夠接受別人的意見(jiàn)。
    記得有一次考試時(shí)教授就對(duì)我們說(shuō):You have to be open-minded. 就是說(shuō)“你們不要有先入為主的觀念,不要太去鉆牛角尖(splitting hairs),這樣才能考得好”。
    Are you narrow-minded? 你小心眼嗎?
    Do you like narrow-minded people? 你喜歡小心眼的人嗎?
