- 1沒人看得起的人、不成氣候的傢伙。英國口語,帶瞧不起的味道。
A no-mark is a person you do not respect — someone who has not done anything worth noticing and who, in your view, never will. It is British informal, a bit street, and . You use it about people, not products. It is harsher than nobody and smaller than a famous failure: not a big loser in the news, just someone who does not count. Younger British speakers use it more than textbooks do. Though actually, it is not a mild joke; said to someone's face, it is meant to put them down.
「no-mark」是英式口語,指一個你看不起的人:沒做過什麼值得注意的事,在你看來以後也不會有。它只用來指人,不指東西,口氣有點街頭,帶著輕蔑。語氣比一般的「沒人」更刻薄,但沒有大到像新聞裡的失敗人物,只是說這個人不成氣候。
年輕的英國人用得比教科書裡多。它不是輕鬆的玩笑,當面說出來,是想把對方貶低。
組成no + mark. Built as a put-down for a kind of person.
