1.抢风头,用英语怎么说

抢风头，也是那些成名人物的一大毛病。

在普通人里面，也有很多人喜欢抢风头，昨天，公司一位同事向我打听，按照中国现行法律，一件事情应该怎么处理，我给他仔仔细细解释了一通。过了一会儿，我老板接到了他的邮件，内容就是我在电话里说的，说实话，人家抢了我的风头。

好在，我老板猜到了实际情况，我倒也没有什么意见。 说到这里，我想问问：抢风头用英语怎么说呢？ 抢风头用英语说就是Steal someone's thunder, thunder是雷声的意思，也许，雷声很大往往也很引人注意，把某个人的雷声偷走了，就是抢了大家对某个人的注意力，也就是抢了人家风头吧。

抢风头有时候会让人红极一时，也就是短暂出名。用英语说就15 minutes of fame， 直译过来就是出名十五分钟，看来，老外说事情就是精确。

我们说红极一时，那么一时到底是多长时间呀？就没有人知道了。 有的人为了红极一时会有目的的巴结自己认为有用的人，也就是趋炎附势，趋炎附势的英语是ride on someone's coattailes. coattailes是指燕尾服的后摆。

意思是骑在某人的燕尾服的后摆上，这有点一人得道鸡犬升天的意思。 哈哈，今天和英语干上了，再来一篇。
