有些人很挑剔，形容這種人，可以說：「He/She finds fault in everything.」此處 fault為名詞「缺點；毛病」。也可用「He/She is overcritical.」（overcritical為形容詞「過度指責的；吹毛求疵的」）或「He/She is too demanding.」（demanding為形容詞「苛求的」）來形容。

A： I scrubbed the toilet three times and mopped the floor twice, and my mother-in-law still thinks they’re dirty…

B： She finds fault in everything. I don’t think she’ll ever be satisfied.

A：我已經將馬桶刷了三次、地板拖了兩次，可是我婆婆還是嫌髒…

B：她很吹毛求疵，我想她永遠都不會滿意。
