原文中文
有些人学识并不深厚，却总喜欢爱慕虚名，过度表现自己。曾有一位乘客在安静的车厢内大谈阔论，声称英国英语与美国英语并无区别。此言一出，半车的人都笑了起来，因为车上恰好有几位英语专业的学生，这简直是贻笑大方。其实，被笑话并不重要，真正的问题在于，这类人往往只求表现而拒绝学习，他们最害怕的不过是被人拆穿没学问罢了。
In reality, being laughed at is a minor issue.
事实上，被人嘲笑只是个小问题。
使用介词短语In reality作为状语，增加了句子的客观感。
Some people lack depth in knowledge yet constantly strive to show off. Once, a passenger made a grand, incorrect claim on a quiet bus, asserting that there is no difference between British and American English. This statement caused half the passengers to laugh, as there were several English majors on board, making it a public embarrassment. In reality, being laughed at is a minor issue; the real problem is that such people often prefer posturing over actual learning. What they fear most is being exposed as ignorant.
