短释义
There’s nothing warm and fuzzy about brash. New Yorkers are sometimes thought of as the poster children for brash behavior: they can be bold and brazen. Pushy even. You might find brashness offensive, or maybe you think it’s refreshingly direct. If you’re a cab driver, a tough exterior might be useful, but being brash probably won’t advance your career if you work in a hotel, where you’re supposed to be polite and welcoming.
傲慢听起来就像它的意思:严厉、大声,甚至有点粗鲁。有时这很好,比如当你脸上出现严重的皮疹时,你会在内尔阿姨亲吻你之前粗暴地警告她。

傲慢毫无温暖和模糊之处。纽约人有时被认为是行为傲慢的典型:他们可以是大胆无耻的。甚至咄咄逼人。您可能会觉得鲁莽令人反感,或者您可能认为这样的直接令人耳目一新。如果你是一名出租车司机,强硬的外表可能会很有用,但如果你在酒店工作,那么傲慢可能不会提升你的职业生涯,在那里你应该彬彬有礼、热情好客。

词源
brash (adj.)”impetuous, rash, hasty in temper,” 1824, of obscure origin, perhaps originally American English; perhaps akin to 16c. Scottish brash “attack, assault,” or French breche “fragments,” especially of ice, which is from a Germanic source (compare Old High German brehha “breach,” from brehhan “to break,” from PIE root *bhreg- “to break”). Or perhaps akin to German brechen “to vomit.” Not considered to be connected with rash (adj.) though they mean the same. Related: Rashly; rashness.Related entries & more
