brag about吹嘘,炫耀
这组词都有“自夸,吹嘘”的意思,其区别是:
pride与boast的意义较接近,指炫耀、夸口,自鸣得意,常与反身代词连用。
boast普通用词,指对自己所做的事,自己的长处、财富以及家庭等的夸耀,常含言过其实的意味。
brag非正式用词,其夸耀和吹嘘意味强于boast,到了过分夸大,有时令人讨厌的地步。
crow多指大声吵嚷地吹嘘,夸耀自己做某事比他人做得好。

14世纪晚期, braggen “发出响亮的声音”,也指“吹嘘”,起源不明,可能与喇叭的 bray 有关,是模拟的,或者与中古英语形容词 brag “炫耀的,骄傲的; 有精神的,勇敢的”(14世纪早期)有关,这可能来自凯尔特语,并是姓氏 Bragg 的来源(自13世纪中期以来已有记录)。也许是两者的合并。其他来源表明,古诺尔斯语 bragr “最好的,(任何事物的)祝酒词”,也指“诗歌”。另请参见 braggart,但法语 brague 似乎太晚了,不可能是来源。相关: Bragged; bragging。
