问题     讲英语的人听到别人赞扬,一般说“谢谢”,表示接受,说明自己认为对方的赞扬是诚心诚意的,所赞扬的事是值得赞扬的。因此不应“假装自卑”或“故作谦虚”。但是,对于中国人来说,听到别人赞扬时,通常要表示受之有愧,做得很不够;或者说自己的成就不过是由于侥幸,或者说是客观条件造成的,等等,而接受赞扬则意味着有骄傲自满情绪或“缺乏教养”。因此,上述两种回答引起不同反应是由于双方语言习惯不同。他们都根据各自的风俗去理解别人所说的话。

选项

答案 To English-speaking people, praise is to be accepted, generally with a remark like "Thank you". It is assumed that the compliment is sincere, and the praise is for some worthy achievements. Therefore, there should be no show of false humility, no pretended modesty. To Chinese, however, the customary reply to a compliment would be to claim that one is not worthy of the praise, that what one has done is hardly enough, or that the success is more a matter of luck or some other circumstances. Acceptance of a compliment would imply conceit or lack of manners. So, in the two cases above, the reason for such different reactions is caused by differences in customs of language. Each is interpreting what the others say according to his or her own culture.
