华盛顿大学圣路易斯分校(Washington University in St. Louis)研究心理学家及副教授斯明•瓦兹(Simine Vazire)说,为他们感到惋惜,因为从长远来看,他们这种冲动有害的做法不会有好处。对自我提升的研究表明,吹嘘的人给人的第一印象不错,但随着时间推移,这种好印象会逐渐消失。
When Ian McKenzie, 30, a schoolteacher in Lincoln, U.K., goes out to dinner with his wife and their friends, he says, everyone soon gets around to bragging - about the gadgets and cars they own, their kids, their vacations. 'I have my fill of it and start to act up,' he says.
30岁的伊恩•麦肯齐(Ian McKenzie)是英国林肯市(Lincoln)的一名教师。他说,在和妻子以及朋友出去吃晚餐时,大家很快都开始吹牛,内容包括自己的电子产品和车、孩子还有度假。他说,我受够了,也开始吹。
He mentions how he went to school with Prince William. (He attended St. Andrew's in Scotland at the same time but never knew the prince.) Or he tells of the time he saw supermodel Kate Moss. (She got out of a car near where he was walking; he had no idea who she was until his wife clued him in.)
他提到自己和威廉王子(Prince William)一起上学的事情(他也是在同一个时期在苏格兰上的圣安德鲁斯大学(St. Andrew's),但并不认识威廉王子),还说自己见到过超模凯特•摩丝(Kate Moss,他在街上走的时候看到她从旁边的一辆车下车,直到妻子告诉他,他才知道这个人是谁)。
