Question

patina n.铜绿；光泽；神情 (1) 它是古铜色的。(2) 这个鼎土花斑驳，古色古香。(3) 他神态轻松潇洒，给人成功的印象。 A patina can also be the shiny surface on wooden furniture that you get after years and years of polishing. You can also use the word in a metaphorical sense, to describe somebody who has acquired some surface character that doesn't go very deep — like the tycoon who has a patina of sophistication but only pretends to be interested in art and literature.
