n.冒充內行者,騙子;庸醫,吹牛者,騙子,江湖醫生
【例句】
The doctor was either a charlatan or a shrewd old rogue.
這醫生要么是假充內行的庸醫,要么是狡猾的老騙子。
上面這個例句中,出現了rogue,這個單詞更著重于“流氓”的含義。比如 These are not rogue or clueless HR reps.
那些面試官并非流氓或是無能的獵頭代表。
而Charlatan則偏重于術士,吹牛的含義,如
“那時候有很多江湖術士,尤其是在歐洲的貴族家中?!奔~曼教授說。
“There were a lot of charlatans, especially in the noble courts of europe,” said dr. newman.
