snigger:Laughter is an audible expression or appearance of merriment or amusement or an inward feeling of joy and pleasure (laughing on the inside). It may ensue (as a physiological reaction) from jokes, tickling and other stimuli. ...暗笑,窃笑
例如:
What are you sniggering at? Haven't you seen people kissing before?
你们笑什麽? 没见过接吻吗?
Her shabby appearance drew sniggers from the guests.
她样子寒酸, 客人不禁暗自发笑.

smirk:an affected, often offensively self-satisfied smile.
假笑,自得的笑,做作的,通常是自鸣得意、令人生厌的微笑
例如:
Come on, professor, do not smirk at me like that .
拜托! 老师,你不要那样对着我假笑。
Wipe that smirk off your face!
别那么傻笑了!

前者是偷偷的笑,笑而不露;而后者是说傻笑,有点不雅。
