1. 1自封的

    If someone is self-appointed, they have given themselves a job, title, or duty that nobody asked them to take — especially a role speaking for other people. A self-appointed leader of a group, a self-appointed expert, a self-appointed guardian of 'how we do things here': the phrase almost always carries a raised . The speaker thinks you were not chosen; you just stood up and claimed it. It is a bit formal, often used in news and argument. Though actually, every new project has someone who has to start without a title; we only reach for this word when we want to say they went too far, or that the rest of us never agreed.

    「self-appointed」指自己給自己安排了沒人要求的職務、頭銜或責任,尤其是替別人發言的角色。它常見的用法是「a self-appointed + 名詞」,像「a self-appointed leader」指自封的領袖,「a self-appointed expert」指自封的專家。

    這個說法幾乎都帶著不以為然的語氣。說話的人覺得對方不是被選出來的,只是自己站出來宣稱。語氣偏正式,常見於新聞和辯論。通常是想說對方做過頭了,或是其他人從來沒有同意。
