【帅哥分享超地道英文】在描述一个人的性格时,我们都知道personality这个词。帅哥今天教大家一个很特殊很地道的词---streak。我们可以说a mean streak, a competitive streak, a viscous streak, a ruthless streak等。streak通常跟在一个不是特别好的性格后面。
a mean streak 刻薄的性格
e.g. I'm not friends with him because he has a mean streak.
a competitive streak 争强好胜的性格
e.g. My daughter gets along with her classmates, but she has a competitive streak when it comes to academics.
a viscous streak 邪恶的性格
e.g. As much as(虽然) I hate to admit it, many people who end up making it big(大为成功) have viscous streaks.
a ruthless streak 残酷无情的性格
e.g. The king's ruthless streak made him become a dictator(独裁者)。
