Here is a story:

Tim is big headed and seldom listens to others. Yesterday, he learned a lesson from it. Our manager asked him to buy some armchairs and place them in the office. Tim thought it was just a piece of cake for him. Two hours later, he moved some armchairs in. They looked quite beautiful. The manager was satisfied with them, but only 5 minutes later, Tim was called in by the manager. "Where did you get these armchairs? Look! They are not leather ones!" While saying this, the manager tore the "artificial leather" into pieces and said, "They are just white elephants!"

1) He is big headed. 他傲慢自大。
2) It is a white elephant. 它好看不中用。
