There was no boastfulness, no striving after effect, no concentrated attack upon the feelings of the beholder.

没有自夸，没有追求效果， 没有集中攻击旁观者的感受。

Just as it belonged to his boastfulness to depreciate his own extraction, so it belonged to it to exalt Mrs. Sparsit's.

正如他贬低自己的出身是他的自夸一样，抬高斯巴塞太太的出身也是他的自夸。

One might have fancied he had talked it off; and that what was left, all standing up in disorder, was in that condition from being constantly blown about by his windy boastfulness.

人们可能会认为他已经把这件事说出口了。剩下的，全都乱七八糟地站着，那是他经常被他狂妄自大吹得四处飘荡的样子。

He looked rather sly when I mentioned Miss Skiffins, and stopped in the street to blow his nose, with a roll of the head, and a flourish not quite free from latent boastfulness.

当我提到 Skiffins 小姐时，他看起来相当狡猾，并在街上停下来擤鼻涕，头一转，挥舞着不完全隐藏的自夸。
