pretentious 是什么意思
adj. 自命不凡的；炫耀的；做作的
pretentious 记忆方法
1. pre- + tens- + -ion.
2. 字面含义：stretch before, stretch beyond real condition.
3. 这里的before其实是指伸展太过前，而超出了实际情况。由此引申为跟作假、欺骗、不切实际相关的含义。
4. 由此引申为：假装；伪装；伪称，佯称；自命；自称等含义。
5. 其实stretch本身就具有：夸大、夸张、夸大其词、言过其实、滥用、歪曲等含义，这本身就是对stretch伸展过度的一种引申；而这里只不过通过词根词缀的形式将其更加具体化、明确化。
6. pretension => *pretention => pretenti- + -ous.
