“指手畫腳”，意思是一邊說話一邊比畫，形容隨意發號施令或亂加批評（make indiscreet remarks or criticisms）。而“喜歡指手畫腳的人”可以翻譯為“backseat driver”，表示someone who tells others how to do things；a person who interferes in affairs without having knowledge， responsibility， or authority for doing so”。

例句：

儘管瑪麗能獨自完成這個專案，約翰還是忍不住指手畫腳，告訴她該怎麼做。

Although Mary was capable of completing the project on her own， John couldn‘t stop himself from being a backseat driver and telling her what to do。

別再纏著我提你的建議了。沒人喜歡指手畫腳的人！

Stop pestering me with all your advice。 Nobody likes a backseat driver！
