Ego wall is a wall, usually in a professional’s office, covered with an inordinate number of framed diplomas, certificates, and other tokens of academic achievement. The sheer number of items implicitly speaks to the superior skill or intelligence of the professional who earned them. This outward display mirrors and reinforces the professional’s perception of self, or ego.

個人榮譽墻(ego wall)通常能在某些專業人士的辦公室中看到，墻上掛滿了各種裝裱好的文憑、證書以及其它學術成就的證明。榮譽墻上證書文憑的數量就能明顯說明辦公室主人過人的能力或智力，而這種外露的表現形式同時也反應并且加強了其主人的自我意識。

For example:

The lawyer’s clients more easily parted with their money upon seeing the ego wall in his office.

這位律師的客戶看到他辦公室的榮譽墻之后就會乖乖掏錢了。
