概要
本文揀選一些描述、形容「謙遜」的詞彙。
詞彙
1. unassuming
Def.: Someone who is unassuming is quiet and shows no wish for attention or admiration
辭意:【褒義】(人)不愛出風頭的,謙遜的
細緻差異:通常是對某人的「主觀評價。」正面評價他人時才使用。
例句/片語:
(1). He was shy and unassuming and not at all how you expect an actor to be.
【他靦腆低調,一點兒也不像你想像中的演員的樣子。】
(2). Personally, he was most unassuming, amiable, and ever ready to help those needing his advice.
【就個人而言,印象中他是最謙遜、和藹,以及隨時樂於助人,每當有人向他尋求建議。】
2. humble
Def.: not proud or not believing that you are important
辭意:謙虛的,謙遜的
細緻差異:與帶有褒義的unassuming 相比,humble較為著重「客觀描述,」用於描述對象的「態度。」
例句/片語:
(1). He's very humble about his success.
【他對自己的成功十分謙虛。】
(2). Please accept our humble apologies for the error.
【出現這樣的差錯,請接受我們真誠的道歉。】
3. modest
Def.: not usually talking about or making obvious your own abilities and achievements

例句/片語:

【他對自己的成就很謙虛。】
