n.多管閑事

Now the man stamping my passport is grinning between episodes of mock officiousness. 現(xiàn)在那個在我護照上敲章的家伙倒是笑嘻嘻的，還有話沒話地調(diào)侃著。

Therefore, a smart offic ial from the cent ral govern ment would want to keep his relationships with the local govern ment offici als in good balance. 因此聰明的駐地官員，會小心翼翼地維持和當(dāng)?shù)毓賳T的平衡。

Whether she was really an agent of the Thought Police, or simply an amateur spy actuated by officiousness, hardly mattered 她究竟是不是思想警察的特務(wù)，還是過分熱心的業(yè)余偵探，那沒有關(guān)系。
