Drama queen refers to people (mostly girls - but boys play their part) who turn something unimportant into a major deal, or who blow things way out of proportion whenever the chance is given because they either: a) want to seek attention; b) have some emotional dysfunction and it’s their duty to make life harder for everyone around them; c) just simply can’t get over it.
Drama queen(字面意思為“戲劇女王”)指那些(多為女性,不過(guò)也不排除男性)喜歡小題大做,一有機(jī)會(huì)就興風(fēng)作浪、夸大事態(tài)的人。他們這樣做的原因有:想獲得關(guān)注;情緒失控,就想鬧得周圍的人不得安寧;或者就是習(xí)慣這樣,改不了。
由此,我們可以把drama queen譯作“沒(méi)事兒找事兒的人”或者“事兒媽”。
For example:
Mary blows everything out of proportion! She’s such a drama queen!
瑪麗每件事情都小題大做!真是個(gè)事兒媽!
