What do you mean "zhuang-bility", not "zhuang-bi"?

@Blaszard, "zhuang-bility" is coined by some Chinese people. It stands for the English version of "zhuang-bi"(装逼), because -bility is a standard suffix in English. "zhuang-bility" is more interesting than "zhuang-bi" in a sense of humor.

As a matter of fact, using zhuang-bility instead zhuang-bi is also a form of 有B格.

<p>A close reading the text convinced me "B格" stands for "蔽隔“--isolation. One meaning of 蔽 (bì) is "hidden", and "隔 (gé) means "cut off". The writer of that passage is talking about how he/she deals with the sense of isolation (and maybe alienation) living in a foreign country where everyone (including friends) is busy, so he/she is left to his/her own devices to deal with the sense of isolation. In the quoted text, the writer approaches the topic as an intellectual subject matter, pondering whether it's his/her own lack of high-minded areas of interest that exacerbated his/her loneliness ("是我境界不高，还是我乐趣恶俗").</p>

It's a net language. It's like *poser* noun and *pretentious* adjective in English. It reminds me a similar word: zhuang-bility(装逼)， which denotes the same meaning. B格 is just the extent of zhuang-bility(装逼).

So, 略有B格的一句话 means *the sentence with a tone of being slightly pretentious*.
