His claim to be an important and unjustly neglected painter is sheer self-deception - he's no good at all.他自称是位被无端埋没的伟大画家，这纯粹是自欺欺人——他根本就一无是处。Such a routine job is a waste of her talents.这样的日常工作是在埋没她的才能。 Being unemployed is such a waste of your talents.失业简直是埋没了你的才能。This job has robbed me of all worth.这工作埋没了我的长处。
