33、nt foreign friends on their language skills, knowledge of Chinese culture, professional accomplishments, and personal health. Curiously, however, Chinese are as loath to accept a compliment as they are eager to give one. As many of my Chinese friends have explained, this is a manifestation of the Ch

34、inese virtue of modesty. I have noticed a difference, though, in the degree to which modesty is emphasized in the United States and China. In the U.S., we tend to place more emphasis on “seeking the truth from facts”; thus, Americans tend to accept a compliment with gratitude. Chinese, on the other

35、 hand, tend to reject the compliment, even when they know they deserve the credit or recognition which has been awarded them. I can imagine a Chinese basketball fan meeting Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls. He might say, “Mr. Jordan, I am so happy to meet you. I just want to tell you, you are the

36、 best basketball player in the world; you’re the greatest!” to which Jordan would probably respond, “Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I just do try to do my best every time I step on the court.” If an American met Deng Yaping, China’s premier ping pong player, he might say much the same th

37、ing: “…Ms. Deng, you’re the best!” but as a Chinese, Deng would probably say, “No, I really don’t play all that well, you’re much too kind.” Plainly, Americans and Chinese have different ways of responding to praise. Ironically（諷刺地）, many Americans might consider Ms. Deng’s hypothetical response th

38、e less modest, because it is less truthful — and therefore less sincere. Americans generally place sincerity above etiquette（禮儀，禮節(jié)）; genuine gratitude for the praise serves as a substitute for protestations of modesty. After all, in the words of one of my closest Chinese friends, modesty taken to th

39、e extreme is arrogance（自大，傲慢）. True or False questions: 11. In China, Chinese tend to accept a compliment when they know they deserve the recognition awarded to them. 12. When we met Mr. Jordan, saying “You’re a great basketball player”, he would say “No, I really don’t play all that well.” 13. Deng Yaping tended to reject the foreigners’ praise because she thought it was a manifestation of the Chinese virtue of modesty. 14. From the passage, we can see modesty is arrogance. 【試題答案】 I. 1.
