I've never known anyone so full of themselves!那个人可真自大真自负啊！我可从来没见过这么骄傲自满的人。eg: He had a massive ego, never would he admit he was wrong.他之前特别自负，永远不可能承认自己错了。2. 再来看看stump这个单词，本来当名词用，可以有“树桩”的意思。但是今天这里它是一个动词的用法，常用于被动语态；If you are stumped by a question or problem, you are unable to find an answer to it. 把某人难住，难倒eg: a case that has stumped the police一个难倒了警察的案子eg: John is stumped by an unexpected question. John被一个意料之外的问题给难倒了。eg: Well, maybe I stumped you on that one.哈，那个问题我可能把你给难倒了。eg: The doctors were stumped and had to call in a specialist.那群医生们被难倒了，只好请一位专家来。所以，在口语中，我们也可以说：You’ve got me stumped.你把我难倒了。或者It’s got me stumped.这事儿把我难倒了。eg: Can you help me with this math problem? It's got me stumped.你能帮我解一下这道数学题吗？这题把我给难倒了。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】-- 你知道亚马逊河有多长吗？-- 你可把我给难倒了。
