Question

complacency n.自满；沾沾自喜 (1) 这种力量足以打破自满情绪。(2) 我们中许多人在自满情绪中成长。(3) 北方局势如此危险，我认为政府毫无理由沾沾自喜。 It is a rare thing to hear the word complacency used in a purely positive way; there's always a sense of scolding to it. At best it's used to convey a person's satisfaction: "Oh? No one asked you to the prom? I've been asked three times," she said with smiling complacency. More usually, however, it takes on a political tone, as with large bodies of people who are unwilling to protest corruption because it doesn't touch them: "He preached and argued, but it was impossible to jostle the students from their complacency."
