“势利眼”,中文俗语,一般指对上位者趋奉,对无权无势的人歧视,谄上欺下的人(a person who admires people in the higher social classes too much and has no respect for people in the lower social classes),与英文单词snob同义。势利小人表示“snobbish person”。

 

例句:

 

她太势利,不与邻居交往。
She is too snobbish to mix with her neighbors.

 

他是个十足的势利眼——如果你没上过名牌学校,他也许一句话都不跟你说。
He's a terrible snob - if you haven't been to the right school he probably won't even speak to you.
