基本释义
[verb] walk with a stiff, erect, and apparently arrogant or conceited gait
[动词] 以硬挺、竖直、明显傲慢或自负的步态行走
深入解读
Strut 一词源自古英语 strutian （凸出、鼓起或直挺挺地凸起），16世纪末开始用来表示“趾高气扬地走、高视阔步”，强调浮夸的或演戏似的装模作样，带着矫揉造作的尊贵，比如：
- 他过去常常在城里大摇大摆地晃荡，好像那是他的地盘。但他现在要面对狱中生活的严酷现实了。
He used to strut around town like he owned the place. But he now faces the stark reality of life in prison. - 男孩们神气十足地走来走去，想引起旁边一群女孩的注意。女孩们忍住不嘲笑他们，直到他们走了。
The boys strutted around trying to get the attention of a group of girls who were nearby. The girls refrained from sneering at them until they were gone.
而在上面《经济学人》例句中出现的习语 strut one’s stuff 本义指为了引起他人注意而“卖弄地跳舞、表演”，泛指则表示“显露身手、卖弄本领”，比如：
- 别自吹自擂了。你为什么不下舞池露上一手？
Stop blowing your own trumpet. Why don’t you get out on the floor and strut your stuff? - 他决心一改公司保守落后的形象，并且认为这是他大展身手的好机会。
He decided to revamp the company’s provincial image and believed that it was the opportunity for him to strut his stuff.
另外， strut 也可以用作名词，除了表示“趾高气扬的步态、高视阔步的样子”外，还可以指细长的用来支撑车辆、建筑，或使之部分结构更加坚固的“支柱、撑杆、支杆”，比如：
- One strut had fractured and been crudely repaired in several places.
一根撑木出现了裂痕，有几处已进行了粗略的修补。
名著用例
Malfoy strutted over, smirking.
马尔福趾高气扬地走过来，脸上得意地笑着。
出自英国作家J.K.罗琳创作的长篇小说《哈利·波特与密室》（Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets）。该小说是《哈利·波特》系列的第二部。
