楼主: norge (Boston)   2023-10-12 09:33:44
有个对话情境是一对离婚的人在吵架,
丈夫想在一个聚会场合介绍新伴侣,
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!
请问 fluff 在对话中的意思要怎么理解比较好呢?
根据字典,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
谢谢!

你都列出来所有可能的动词解释了,最有可能的就是第一项。原句换成“... to emotionally mess us up ...”就没事了,可翻译为“所以你现在是在搞我心态吗?”

Hint: emotional fluffer -> ... to prepare everyone ffor __the idea__ (原本的用法是指他们的gfs/bfs(...fortheir bf/gf)。但是一样的“过程”,这也是Sam强调的重点
