1. parade
△杰一直都想去高中老友的聚会，他坦言他这次去不是想显摆有钱，是想显摆他找了个这么美丽的老婆。
parade作动词和名词都有游行的意思，on parade可以表示“接受检阅”，作动词的话表示“夸示，炫耀”。
The children paraded about/around in their new clothes.
孩子们穿着新衣服四处炫耀。
总结一下“炫耀”的相关表达：
①flaunt
They drove around in Rolls-Royces, openly flaunting their wealth.
他们开着劳斯莱斯车四处转，公然炫富。
②show off
Naomi was showing off her engagement ring.
内奥米那时正在炫耀她的订婚戒指。
③flash sth around
She was flashing her engagement ring around.
她正在四处炫耀她的订婚戒指。
2. twists and turns
twist作名词有“急转弯”的意思，看一下这个表达：
a path with many twists and turns
蜿蜒曲折的小路
同样是和turn搭配，toss and turn就尤指因无法入睡而“翻来覆去，辗转反侧”。
3. wear sb down
wear sb down指的是使某人疲劳，看一下它的英语释义：to make someone feel tired and less able to deal successfully with a situation，所以这里侧重地是是别人精疲力竭而无法顺利解决事情。
Both sides are trying to wear the other down by being obstinate in the negotiations.
双方在谈判中都不肯让步，试图耗尽对方的耐性。
