There's a feeling of a snobbishness, an elitism that is very off-putting.

有一种势利感觉， 一种非令人反感精英主义。

Never once in forty years of intimacy did his son notice in him a trace of snobbishness.

在四十年亲密关系， 儿子从未在身上注意到一丝势利。

I often asked myself what was the cause of the snobbishness that obsessed this man who was so intelligent, so kindly, and so cultivated.

我问自己，是什么原因让这个聪明、良、有教养男人势利。

The disappointment was not occasioned by the sentiment ordinarily defined as snobbishness, but by old New York's sense of what was due to it when it risked its dignity in foreign lands.

令人失望不是通被定义为势利情绪，而是旧纽约对在异国乡冒着尊严危险感觉。

I should never have thought him capable of expressing himself with such dignity, real feeling, and simplicity, had I not long known that notwithstanding his snobbishness and his absurd affectations Elliott was a kindly, affectionate, and honest man.

果我不是早就知道尽管势利和荒谬矫揉造作，埃利奥特是一个良、深情和诚实人，我永远不会想到能够以高贵、真实和朴素方式表达自己。
