Thick-skinned 厚脸皮

如果形容某人thick-skinned, 就是说这个人厚脸皮,不在意别人对自己的看法。

今日小常识

White rhinos are classed as 'near threatened' in the wild, with a population of only 17,500. Lots of zoos and safari parks across Europe are exchanging their rhinos in order to maximise the breeding potential of the captive European population.

白犀牛被列为濒危野生动物,目前全世界只剩下一万七千五百只了。欧洲很多动物园和野生动物园通过交流方式,互通有无,提高犀牛的交配生殖率。

例句

I made it pretty clear that he had outstayed his welcome but he is so thick-skinned he didn't take the hint.

Just be a little gentle with her as she is very sensitive and not thick-skinned at all!

请注意

另一个英语 beauty is only skin deep means 一个人的内心比外表更重要。

She may not be a beauty queen but you know what they say, beauty is only skin deep.
