pride
1.proper pride是“自尊”，是褒义的，false pride是“妄自尊大”，是贬义的。单用pride有时指“自尊”，有时指“妄自尊大”。比较下面两句：
- Robert had too much pride（自尊）to tell lies.
- Robert had too much pride（妄自尊大）to wash up.
2.take a pride in和take pride in都作“把…引为得意”解。
3.pride（动词）后面可以接反身代词和以that引导的从句。例如：She prided herself that she had won the title of advaced worker.
