【适用场合】

今天我们来学习一下show off的用法，相当于中文中的“炫耀、显摆”；

这个短语带有比较明显的贬义色彩。

来看看对应的解释，to behave in a way which is intended to attract attention or admiration, and which other people often find annoying；

或者看这条解释：If you say that someone is showing off, you are criticizing them for trying to impress people by showing in a very obvious way what they can do or what they own.

eg: She only bought that sports car to show off and prove she could afford one.

她买那辆跑车纯粹就是为了显摆，证明自己买得起。

eg: He's always showing off to his classmates.

eg: All right, there's no need to show off.

好了，没必要炫耀了。

eg: Naomi was showing off her engagement ring.
