遇到了,她现在傲慢得很。

A: Why?

为什么?

B: Don’t you know that her husband was promoted again?

难道你不知道他丈夫又升职了吗?

支持范例:

He became high and mighty after he was made captain of the team.

他当了队长之后变得神气活现。

You think you are one of the high and mighty, remember pride goes before a fall.

你自以为是了不起的人物,别忘了骄者必败。

There's no need to be so high and mighty with me!

用不着对我摆架子!

He acts so high and mighty; I despise him!

他那么趾高气扬,我真瞧不起他!
