1. 1名流、時尚名流(雜誌用來稱呼有錢又愛出風頭的那群人,帶點調侃)

    The glitterati are the rich, famous, fashionable people — the ones at film festivals, designer parties, and magazine covers. It is a slightly joking magazine word, not a kind name you say to someone's face. It blends glitter (shine, wealth) with literati (the in-crowd), so it paints famous people as a sparkling set. You almost always say the glitterati, as a group. Informal, a bit knowing, more at home in newspapers than in school books.

組成A blend of glitter + literati.

同家族的字

  • glitterthe shine-and-show half of the blend
