释义 |
used-car salesman noun /ˌjuːzd ˈkɑː seɪlzmən/ /ˌjuːzd ˈkɑːr seɪlzmən/ (plural used-car salesmen) - (British English) a man whose job is selling cars that have already had one or more owners. Used-car salesmen are often presented in jokes, cartoons etc. as not very honest or reliable. The British television character Arthur Daley is regarded as a typical used-car salesman, i.e. confident and friendly, but dishonest and not very successful. Opponents of US President Richard Nixon used to show his picture with the words, ‘Would you buy a used car from this man?’, suggesting that he could not be trusted.二手车推销员:从事销售已经拥有一个或多个所有者的汽车的人。二手车推销员经常以笑话,卡通等形式出现,因为他们不是很诚实或不可靠。英国电视台演员亚瑟·戴利(Arthur Daley)被认为是典型的二手车推销员,即自信和友好,但不诚实且不太成功。美国总统理查德·尼克松(Richard Nixon)的反对者过去常常用“你会从这个人那里购买二手车吗?”这样的字眼来表示自己的照片,这表明他不能被信任。
