易错句子He talks braggart about his achievements.
正确表达He talks boastfully about his achievements.
修饰动词 talks 需要用副词；braggart 是形容词，不能作状语。表示“自夸地谈论”应用副词 boastfully。
两者都表示“爱自夸”。boastful 既能修饰人，也能修饰言谈（boastful remarks），作定语、表语都常见；braggart 作形容词一般只作定语修饰人，书面色彩更强，侧重对性格的定评。日常描述某人爱吹牛，多用 boastful。
arrogant 指看不起别人、态度倨傲，重点是对他人的轻蔑；braggart（形容词）指嘴上夸耀自己、说大话，重点是言语上的自我吹嘘。人可以吹嘘却不傲慢，也可以傲慢而不吹嘘，两者不能随意互换。
conceited 侧重“对自己的评价过高”这种内在态度，多指性格；braggart（形容词）侧重“把得意挂在嘴边”的言语行为。若句子的重点是开口炫耀，用 braggart/boastful 更贴切。
