She's been going around as if she owns the place.

Ginnie: Have you seen the way that Debbie is behaving lately?
Vatsala: No, I was away all last week.
Ginnie: Well ever since she won the music prize she’s been going around as if she owns the place.
Vatsala: She's always felt a bit superior to the rest of us because she's so good at the piano.
Ginnie: There's more to life than playing the piano.
Vatsala: Not as far as Debbie's concerned.
金尼：你有沒有留意戴比最近的舉止？
瓦塞拉：沒有，我上星期不在這里。
金尼：她贏得音樂獎之后，就一副不可一世的樣子。
瓦塞拉：她向來都自以為高我們一等，因為她鋼琴彈得好。
金尼：人生不只是彈鋼琴啊。
瓦塞拉：但戴比可不這樣想。
金尼批評戴比狂妄：She's been going around as if she owns the place。這as if改為as though或like都可以。
As if、as though是‘好像’的意思，其后接子句(clause) 。這子句假如是說目前情況，則‘有可能’的事情須用現(xiàn)在式動詞敘述，‘不可能’或‘不真實’的事情須用過去式動詞，子句假如是說過去情況，則‘有可能’或‘不可能’的事情都用過去式動詞敘述，例如：(1)It looks as if it is going to be fine tomorrow（看來明天會是好天）。(2) She looks at me as if I were/was some sort of monster（她望著我，似乎我是什么怪物）。(3) While we were of the same rank, she spoke to me as if she were/was my boss（我們職級相同，但她跟我說話，語氣就像是我上司一樣）。第二、三句I、she之后用were,是正宗的‘假設(shè)過去式’;普通過去式was則是較隨便的說法。
Like也可解作‘好像’，但嚴(yán)格而言，其后須用名詞或代名詞，例如：It is shaped like a book?。ㄋ男螤钕癖緯?。今天，美國口語往往在like 之后也用子句，所以，說She's been going around like she owns the place也可以，只是這用法在謹嚴(yán)的寫作中應(yīng)該避免。
As if one owns the place直譯是‘似乎那地方為其所有’，指大模大樣、不可一世的樣子，例如: He shouted to the sales clerks as if he owned the place.（他大搖大擺的向售貨員吆喝）
