brashly

1.Seven years ago, Michael R.Bloomberg brashly introduced himself to New Yorkers as a billionaire can-didate for mayor.

七年前，彭博意气风发向纽约市民毛遂自荐，自称是亿万富豪市长候选人。

2.In 1985, for example, he brashly proclaimed that when and if the universe stopped expanding and began to contract, time would reverse and everything that had ever happened would be rerun in reverse.

但过了18个月之后，他难为情承认了自己看法的错误。
