core 盛气凌人；专横📖 指一个人总想控制别人、替别人作决定，态度又傲慢强硬，让人感到被压着、难以自在地表达自己。💡 常用模式是“某人 is overbearing”或“an overbearing parent/boss”。它专门强调令人不舒服的支配感和傲慢，不只是能力强、意见坚定或善于领导。一般用来批评人，不能随意用于中性描述管理风格。Her overbearing manager never lets anyone make a decision without him.她那位盛气凌人的经理从不让任何人在没有他参与的情况下作决定。He can be overbearing, but he usually means well.他有时很专横，不过通常并没有恶意。
