每日一词学英语(47): aplomb

英国头号网球手Andy Murray夺得London Grass Court Cup,这是英国人71年来的首次加冕,也是Murray本人第12次巡回赛冠军及第1次草场冠军。He achieved it with aplomb, serving as consistently well as he has done in a tournament week, moving with a grace that belies a sometimes lumbering appearance and, as soon as he had the measure of an opponent — Blake was particularly tricky because he does not strike a conventionally consistent ball — accelerating ahead of them without a backward glance。他赢得自信从容(同义词:self-confidence; poise; composure)。

Witionary例句:His nonchalance and aplomb during hard times have always been his best character trait. 时运不济时保持淡定、从容,一直是其最佳品质。
