self-complacent

形容一个人过分自我满足，对自己的表现缺少警惕和改进意愿。

💡 记忆钩子

把自己想象成坐在“自我满意”的椅子上：正常的自信是站稳后继续前进，而 self-complacent 是坐得太舒服，觉得自己已经很好，于是不再察觉问题。

📝 学习建议

不要把它只理解为“自信”或“满意”；它通常带有“过分自满、缺少警觉”的负面意味。

📖 中文释义

adj

core 自鸣得意的；过分自满的

📖 形容一个人对自己的能力、表现或成就过分满意，因而觉得没有必要继续改进，也不太愿意正视缺点。它比普通的“自信”更消极，重点在于“满意得过了头”。

💡 常见结构是“某人显得过分自满”或“对自己的成就感到过分自满”。它通常修饰人，也可以修饰态度、表现等与自我满足有关的事物；语气多为批评，不适合用来真诚地称赞某人。
