machismo

Although this is hailed as Woo's "homecoming" after his Hollywood tenure, hardcore disciples of his Hong Kong oeuvre will be straining hard to find the all-stops-out passion and sinewy machismo that ignited his bullet ballets such as "A Better Tomorrow" or "The Killer."

尽管《赤壁》被誉为吴宇森在好莱坞发展后的“归家之作”后，但对其香港作品崇拜的坚定追随者正不遗余力地挖掘自身的热血豪情和盛气凌人的男子气概，诚如《英雄本色》或《喋血双雄》中的子弹芭蕾。

The biggest problem in the US, however, is that the debate about which model to choose frequently turns into a test of machismo, in which activist investors vie to strip the chairman's epaulettes from the humiliated executive's shoulders.

然而，美国最大的问题在于，围绕选择哪种模式的辩论往往会演变成一场“全武行”——维权投资者恨不得一脚把CEO从董事长职位上踹下去。

His is a uniquely nerdy machismo.

他是一个独特的怪才型男子汉。
