英语单词 sassy
英美音标 英 ['sæsi] 美 ['sæsi]
中文释义 adj.无礼的;充满活力的;时髦的
英语例句 (1) Now you know how sassy my girlfriend is.
(2) Her demeanour is a reassuring mixture of sassy and self-deprecating;
中文例句 (1) 你也了解到我的女朋友是如何的霸道了吧。
(2) 她的举止既活泼又不失庄重,令人心服。
vocabulary简明 Sassy means "bold or fresh." If you see your teacher in the grocery store with her attractive, well-dressed husband and you charge right over to say, "Who's the hunk?" that's being very sassy.
vocabulary扩展 Sassy comes from saucy, as in: bold, spicy, and impertinent. It's fun to be sassy when talking with friends, but when you start saying things to teachers, bosses, and other people's parents that would embarrass a more timid or manners-minded person, you probably have crossed the line from sassy to inappropriate. The same goes for sassy dressers — you have to know when to leave the neon heels at home.
