Too (clever) by half

可太聪明啦(贬义);聪明过了头

A:He thought he could get Mr. Green’s money in his pocket but he lost all, he was too clever by half.


B:The fact is he never realizes that. He always starts out tricking others and ends up being tricked.


A:That’s the point. He once lost his briefcase by asking a “blind man” to take care of it for him.


A:他以为自己能把格林先生的钱据为己有,但却一分也没得到,他可是聪明过头了。
