✏️ 勢利鬼【三觀系列】
金錢/權利至上的人該如何形容？Snob。但是這字還真不簡單，今天學起來！
🔥 8 out of 9 installments, let's look at 勢利：
❝ Have you ever had to deal with snobs? Snobbish ppl are those who act like they’re better than others. They evaluate people by social ranks, wealth, education or tastes in certain things. They have a false sense of superiority. Snobs only wanna hang out with people whom they think are high class. They make you feel bad about about liking different things from them because they think they know better. They would look down on you if you have a different opinion. Perhaps in a passive aggressive way like, why did you order that in this restaurant? It’s not good. Or, there’s no way people can spend less than 300k on a wedding. Or like, are you buying a house? You must be tired of a small space.❞
關鍵字

這種人如果沒有遇過還真難相信，以上三個例都是發生在我身上過的 😅
🎯 單字補充
以上的snob是相當負面的詞。但是如果說一個人是「a OOO snob」指的是對某事特別講究、龜毛，根據前後文不一定是壞事，通常用在飲食和生活上的小習慣。
例如
- My cousin is a whiskey snob. He can tell what's good. 我表哥很懂威士奇，喝得出來差別
- She is a coffee snob so she won't go to Starbucks. 她對咖啡很講究所以不喝星巴克
- What? I am not a coffee snob. I'm chill! 什麼！我才不龜毛我很隨性！（自我防衛）
- I am kind of a skincare snob sometimes. 我有時候對保養蠻龜毛的（自嘲麻煩）
