傲慢

ào màn

When someone is 傲慢 (àomàn), it means they have an attitude of superiority. They might think they are better than others and act in a way that shows this.

For example, if a person always talks down to others or acts like they know everything, you could describe them as 傲慢.

It's generally seen as a negative trait, as it can make people unapproachable and difficult to get along with.

You'll often hear this word when discussing someone's personality or behavior in social situations.

When we describe someone as 傲慢 (àomàn), we are saying they have an inflated sense of their own importance, leading them to disregard or look down on others. This word is often used to criticize a person's behavior or attitude, especially when they act as if they are superior. It suggests a lack of humility and consideration for others' feelings or opinions. Think of someone who is overly proud and shows it in an unpleasant way. So, 傲慢 describes a negative personality trait, where pride turns into offensive conceit.

When we describe someone as 傲慢 (àomàn), we're talking about a sense of superiority that leads to a dismissive or condescending attitude towards others. It's often associated with a belief in one's own importance and a lack of respect for the feelings or opinions of those considered 'inferior.' This word carries a strong negative connotation, implying a pride that is excessive and unpleasant.

The sentence implies a negative trait that prevents good teamwork. '傲慢' (arrogance) fits this context, suggesting she thinks she's superior and doesn't listen to others. '谦虚' (humble), '友好' (friendly), and '耐心' (patient) are positive traits that would encourage cooperation.

multiple choice C1

经理的___让员工们感到不满。

Correct! Not quite. Correct answer: 傲慢无礼

The sentence states that the employees are dissatisfied. '傲慢无礼' (arrogant and rude) is a negative behavior that would cause dissatisfaction. '平易近人' (approachable), '认真负责' (conscientious and responsible), and '积极乐观' (positive and optimistic) are positive traits that would likely lead to employee satisfaction.

multiple choice C1

面对成功,我们应该保持___,而不是变得___。

Correct! Not quite. Correct answer: 谦逊,傲慢

The sentence suggests a contrast between two attitudes when facing success. We should maintain humility ('谦逊') and avoid becoming arrogant ('傲慢'). '自信' (confident) and '自卑' (inferior) don't fit the success context as directly. '乐观' (optimistic) and '悲观' (pessimistic) are about outlook, not behavior regarding success itself. '冷静' (calm) and '冲动' (impulsive) relate to temperament, not specifically to success.

true false C1

一个傲慢的人通常很受人尊敬。

Correct! Not quite. Correct answer: False

An arrogant person is usually not respected, but rather disliked or seen negatively, because their behavior suggests they look down on others. Respect is earned through humility and good conduct.

true false C1

在团队合作中,傲慢的态度有助于提高效率。

Correct! Not quite. Correct answer: False

Arrogance hinders teamwork by creating friction and disrespect among members. Effective teamwork requires humility, open communication, and mutual respect, not haughtiness.

true false C1

傲慢是自信的一种表现。

Correct! Not quite. Correct answer: False

While both can involve a strong sense of self, arrogance is distinct from confidence. Confidence is a healthy belief in one's abilities, often coupled with humility and respect for others. Arrogance, however, is an inflated sense of superiority that often comes with looking down on others and can be a sign of insecurity rather than true confidence.
