我們可以對行為言語盛氣凌人、趾高氣揚(yáng)、擺大架子的人說get off your high horse, get down off your high horse或come off your high horse.
　　例句：
　　Stop criticising everyone! You should get down off your high horse and admit that you aren't perfect either!
　　John used to tell his fellow classmates what a genius he was. But after he got a couple of bad marks, he had to come off his high horse and study as hard as everyone else.
　　注意：
　　短語to back the wrong horse的意思是下錯賭注、支持失敗的一方。
　　例句：
　　Our boss should have promoted me to senior management. Peter doesn't have enough experience to be in that position. The boss backed the wrong horse!
　　常識補(bǔ)充：
　　Archaeologists think that horses were first tamed and exploited by humans some 6,000 years ago in west Kazakhstan.
　　考古學(xué)家認(rèn)為，大約六千年前馬在西哈薩克斯坦首次被人類馴化并使用。
