Self-importantly tells you how someone does a thing: they do it in a way that shows they think they are more important than other people. They may walk in slowly, clear their throat, or explain a simple point as if you were a child. The word carries the same as self-important.
Self-importantly Self-importantly 告訴你tells you how someone does a thing某人做一件事的方式是怎樣的:they他們 do it做這件事 in a way以一種方式 that shows顯示出 they think they are more important than other people他們覺得自己比別人更重要。They他們 may walk in slowly可能會慢慢走進來,clear their throat清清喉嚨,or或 explain a simple point解釋一個簡單的道理 as if you were a child好像你是小孩一樣。The word這個字 carries帶有 the same disapproval跟self-important一樣的不認同意味 as self-important。
You put it with a verb: speak self-importantly, nod self-importantly, sit self-importantly at the head of the table. It is fairly formal and a bit ; many speakers would just say in a stuck-up way.
You你 put it把它 with a verb搭配動詞使用:speak self-importantly自以為了不起地說話, nod self-importantly自以為了不起地點頭, sit self-importantly at the head of the table自以為了不起地坐在主位。It它 is相當 fairly formal and a bit bookish正式又有點書面語,many speakers很多人 would just say乾脆就會說 in a stuck-up way「一副高高在上的樣子」來代替。
Though actually, one small gesture can look self-important even when the person does not mean it that way — a new boss sitting in the big chair, for example — so people sometimes use the word when they are , not only when the person is truly proud.
Though actually不過事實上,one small gesture一個小小的動作 can look可能看起來 self-important很自大 even when the person does not mean it that way即使那個人根本沒那個意思——a new boss例如新來的老闆 sitting in the big chair坐進大位子裡,for example舉例來說——so所以 people人們 sometimes有時候 use the word會用這個字 when they are annoyed是因為不爽,not only不只是 when the person is truly proud在那個人真的很驕傲的時候才用。
