身邊有沒有這樣的人？凡是他/她發起的活動就一定要大家都參加，有人不去就對人家不依不饒的，一定要說出個正當理由才勉強放行。社交活動中太過強勢的人會被人稱作social bully。

Social bully is a person who demands everyone's attendance at events and will not take "no" for an answer. Also, this person tends to discourage people from leaving social events and interrogates them as to the reason for the departure. (Source: merriam-webster.com)

社交惡霸（social bully）指組織社交活動時要求每個人都到場，不允許有人拒絕的人。另外，這種人還不愿意讓參加活動的人提前離開，并且會刨根問底追問人家離開的原因。

比如：

Person 1: Are you going to happy hour?

你要去歡樂時光嗎？

Person 2: I wasn't planning on it but I didn't have a good excuse and Kristin wouldn't take "no" for an answer.

我不想去，但我又沒什么說得過去的借口。簡單說“不去”，克里斯汀肯定是不會答應的。

Person 1: She's such a social bully.

她可真是個社交惡霸。
