1. 1高傲、架子、傲慢的神態(書面/文雅,來自法文;口語較常說「很高傲」)

    Hauteur is a proud, very manner — the cold “I am above you” way of standing, looking, or speaking.

    Hauteur高傲的態度 is是 a proud, very unfriendly manner一種驕傲、很不友善的態度 — the cold "I am above you" way那種冷冷「我比你高一等」的 of standing, looking, or speaking站姿、眼神,或說話方式

    It is a noun, the name of the manner, not a word you put in front of a person. You can speak with hauteur, or look at someone with hauteur; you cannot say “a hauteur woman” (say haughty instead).

    It它 is是 a noun一個名詞, the name of the manner是這種態度的名稱, not a word you put in front of a person不是放在人前面(當形容詞)的字。You can speak with hauteur你可以用hauteur的態度說話, or look at someone with hauteur或用hauteur的眼神看人; you cannot say但你不能說 "a hauteur woman"「a hauteur woman」 (say haughty instead)(要用haughty這個形容詞才對)

    It is borrowed from French, and it sounds fancy on purpose. You will almost never hear it in a shop or a classroom chat; it lives in novels and rather literary writing.

    It它 is borrowed from French是從法文借來的字, and而且 it sounds fancy聽起來很講究 on purpose是故意的。You will almost never hear it你幾乎不會聽到這個字 in a shop在店裡 or a classroom chat或教室閒聊裡; it lives它活在 in novels小說裡 and rather literary writing以及相當文學性的文章裡

    Though actually it means much the same as haughtiness, but hauteur keeps a French flavour, as if the pride is polished and distant.

    Though actually不過其實 it means much the same as它的意思跟 haughtiness高傲(haughtiness) 差不多, but hauteur但hauteur keeps保留了 a French flavour一種法式的味道, as if好像 the pride這份驕傲 is polished and distant被打磨得很有距離感
