a backseat driver
解析：字面意思是“坐在后排的驾驶员”。本来坐在后排的驾驶员应该是乘客，但是有时候乘客多嘴，告诉司机怎么开车。后来人们就把这样的人说成是“坐在后排的司机”，比喻多嘴多舌的人，多事的人。
例句：To avoid being a backseat driver, I keep my mouth shut.为了避免乱出主意，我只好闭嘴。
I detest his grandmother because she is a Backseat driver.我讨厌他的祖母,因为她多管闲事。

参考翻译：

B : 雇了2个。但他们都没受过多少教育。
A : 多数清洁工都没文化，但是工作干得不错。
B : 但我确实不喜欢另一个清洁工。她很能干，似乎也有自己的想法。可是她爱对我们指手画脚，总该告诉我们该做什么，东西该放哪儿。 |
