Sly describes someone clever in a slightly secretive or dishonest way — they get what they want through tricks or hidden plans rather than being open about it. It's not always a strong insult; sometimes it's almost , like a sly fox in a story who's clever rather than truly bad. You'll also hear 'a sly smile' or 'a sly look', meaning a small, private expression that suggests someone knows something they're not saying out loud.
狡猾的、詭計多端的(有時帶點欣賞意味,也可形容偷偷的、心照不宣的表情)
