In his desperation to become a medical hero, he had become a hero out of Greek tragedy: consigned to ignominy by his own hubris, and doomed to struggle against a fate that was inevitable.

短释义：
Hubris is an excess of confidence: a boxer who shouts “I’m the greatest!” even though he’s about to get pummeled by a much stronger opponent is displaying a lot of hubris.
傲慢是一种过度的自信：一个拳击手会大喊“我是最伟大的！”即使他即将被一个更强大的对手击败，也表现出很大的傲慢自大。
长释义：
Hubris is from Greek, where it meant “excessive pride, violating the bounds set for humans” and was always punished by the gods. We no longer have the Greek gods, so in English it just refers to over-the-top self-confidence. If you call yourself the best in something, you better have the goods to back it up, since too much hubris can lead to embarrassment and humiliation. It’s an age-old human failing: pride goeth before the fall.
Hubris来自希腊语，意思是“过分的骄傲，违反了为人类设定的界限”，总是受到众神的惩罚。我们不再有希腊诸神，所以在英语中它只是指过度自信。如果你称自己在某件事上是最好的，你最好有足够的东西来支持它，因为过于狂妄自大会导致尴尬和羞辱。这是一个古老的人类失败：骄傲在堕落之前消失。
文学例句：
Few authors are more adept at translating technical jargon into graceful prose, or at illustrating how hubris and greed can cause geniuses to lose their way.
很少有作家比他们更善于将技术术语转化为优美的散文，或者更擅长说明狂妄自大和贪婪如何导致天才迷失方向。

词源：
hubris (n.)1884, a back-formation from hubristic or else from Greek hybris “wanton violence, insolence, outrage,” originally “presumption toward the gods;” the first element probably PIE *ud- “up, out” (see out (adv.)) but the meaning of the second is debated. Spelling hybris is more classically correct and began to appear in English in translations of Nietzsche c. 1911.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
hubris (n.)1884，来自 hubristic 或来自希腊 hybris“肆意的暴力、傲慢、愤怒”的反构词，最初是“对神的妄想”；第一个元素可能是 PIE *ud- “up, out”（参见 out (adv.)），但第二个元素的含义存在争议。拼写 hybris 在经典上更正确，并开始以英语出现在 Nietzsche c 的翻译中。 1911.相关条目及更多
