"his brag is worse than his fight"
"whenever he won we were exposed to his gasconade"
诚实和率直比言过其实的吹嘘或者高傲的自夸更能增加公众的信心。
Complaints about Jakob's rough treatment of suspects led a reporter from the gasconade County Republican newspaper to ask the sheriff about the new officer. That's when Jakob's story unraveled.由于雅克布对嫌犯粗暴的对待引起投诉,加斯科·内德县共和报记者向警长询问有关这新近警员的资料,雅克布的谎言始被揭发。
Whenever he won we were exposed to his gasconade.每次他赢,我们都要听他吹牛.
