a backseat driver

讲解:字面意思是“坐在后排的驾驶员”。本来坐在后排的驾驶员应该是乘客,但是有时候乘客多嘴,告诉司机怎么开车。后来人们就把这样的人说成是“坐在后排的司机”,比喻多嘴多舌的人,多事的人。

例句:To avoid being a backseat driver, I keep my mouth shut.为了避免乱出主意,我只好闭嘴。
I detest his grandmother because she is a Backseat driver.我讨厌他的祖母,因为她多管闲事。

英语情景对话:

A: How many cleaning ladies does your company hire?

B: We have two cleaning ladies. But both of them have received little education.

A: Most cleaning ladies are illiterate. But some of them do a very nice job.

B: But I actually dislike another lazy. She is more capable and seems to have ideas of her own. But the trouble is she is a backseat driver with some of us. She would tell you what to do and where to put things.

参考中文译文:

A : 你们公司雇了多少员工?

B : 雇了2个。但他们都没受过多少教育。

A : 多数清洁工都没文化,但是工作干得不错。

B : 但我确实不喜欢另一个清洁工。她很能干,似乎也有自己的想法。可是她爱对我们指手画脚,总该告诉我们该做什么,东西该放哪儿。
