Members of Parliament making a point of order in the house of Commons wear a collapsible opera hat and nobody sniggers. 在下议院,提出程序问题的议员们戴一种折叠式的大礼帽也无人窃笑。
People often chuckle about the forecasting skills of economists, but after the sniggers die down, they keep demanding more forecasts. 人们经常会对经济学家的预测技巧轻声嘲笑,但嘲笑之后,他们还是不断要求更多的预测。
There were sniggers from the children when the lady fell over. 那位女士跌倒时,孩子们发出哧哧的窃笑声。
