1. parade

△杰一直都想去高中老友的聚會(huì)，他坦言他這次去不是想顯擺有錢，是想顯擺他找了個(gè)這么美麗的老婆。

parade作動(dòng)詞和名詞都有游行的意思，on parade可以表示“接受檢閱”，作動(dòng)詞的話表示“夸示，炫耀”。

The children paraded about/around in their new clothes.

孩子們穿著新衣服四處炫耀。

總結(jié)一下“炫耀”的相關(guān)表達(dá)：

①flaunt

They drove around in Rolls-Royces, openly flaunting their wealth.

他們開著勞斯萊斯車四處轉(zhuǎn)，公然炫富。

②show off

Naomi was showing off her engagement ring.

內(nèi)奧米那時(shí)正在炫耀她的訂婚戒指。

③flash sth around

She was flashing her engagement ring around.

她正在四處炫耀她的訂婚戒指。

2. twists and turns

twist作名詞有“急轉(zhuǎn)彎”的意思，看一下這個(gè)表達(dá)：

a path with many twists and turns

蜿蜒曲折的小路

同樣是和turn搭配，toss and turn就尤指因無法入睡而“翻來覆去，輾轉(zhuǎn)反側(cè)”。

3. wear sb down

wear sb down指的是使某人疲勞，看一下它的英語釋義：to make someone feel tired and less able to deal successfully with a situation，所以這里側(cè)重地是是別人精疲力竭而無法順利解決事情。

Both sides are trying to wear the other down by being obstinate in the negotiations.

雙方在談判中都不肯讓步，試圖耗盡對(duì)方的耐性。
