  我們可以對行為言語盛氣凌人、趾高氣揚、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!

  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!
  常識補充:
