標題[請益] fluff 的意思
時間Thu Oct 12 09:33:44 2023
有個對話情境是一對離婚的人在吵架，
丈夫想在一個聚會場合介紹新伴侶，
妻子暴怒。
Ben: I've been seeing someone. Her name's Veronica.
I wanted to prepare everyone for the idea. To avoid any dramas.
Sam: So you're emotionally fluffing us? That's so typical of you.
Your ego is so inflated. You have to make a major event
out of everything!
請問 fluff 在對話中的意思要怎麼理解比較好呢？
根據字典，fluff 有以下的意思
https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/fluff
1 informal to make a mistake or do something badly
2 to make something soft become larger by shaking it
3 if a bird fluffs its feathers, it raises them and makes itself look bigger
謝謝！
