be/get big-headed (about + thing); don't get big-headed; a bighead

修改原因
修改前After his promotion he raised his nose and stopped having lunch with us.
修改后After his promotion he got big-headed and stopped having lunch with us.
原句 raise his nose 不能作为英语中的自然习语传达“变得自负”。要表达成功后得意起来，可以用 get big-headed。这里 get 表示“变得”：he got big-headed。
Big-headed 与聪明无关。聪明可以用 clever 或 bright。近义词 arrogant 语气更重，也适合书面语：Some politicians become arrogant after years in power。相应名词是 a bighead：Don't be such a bighead。
