modest 和 humble 都有相似“谦虚”的意味,具体有什么区别呢?

Modest(谦善)

Modest describes the personality trait or behaviour of not flaunting oneself, talking oneself up or putting oneself on display.

Modest behaviour can be a response to compliments, praise or follow an achievement. Modesty can also manifested physically (for example, "dressing modestly", "modest accessories", "modest smile").

谦善是指不夸耀本人,不自诩,不夸耀本人的性情特性或举动。谦善的举动可以是对称赞、歌颂或成果的回应。谦善也可以表如今肢体上(比如,“穿着端庄”、“配饰谦善”、“含笑谦善”)。

  • But he is a lovely and modest boy in everyday life. 但是他在平常生存中是个心爱的谦善的男孩。
  • We should remain modest despite our achievement. 只管取得成果,我们应该坚持谦善的态度。
  • Many believers who wear a headscarf prefer to use the term "modest dress". 很多戴头巾的信女更喜好使用“端庄的衣饰”这一词语。

Humble(谦卑)

In contrast, "humble" refers specifically to a person's inner state and feelings. A humble person is willing to accept or respect another's authority, intellect and wisdom without trying to challenge it or trying to assert oneself.

比拟之下,“谦卑”是指一一局部的内心形态和心情。谦卑的人乐意承受或敬重他人的威望、才干和伶俐,而不去挑唆它或试图维护本人。

  • He gave a great performance, but he was very humble.他的扮演很出色,但他却很谦卑。
  • "I'm a lucky man, undeservedly lucky," he said humbly.“我是个侥幸的人,不应这么侥幸,”他谦卑地说。
  • He always makes much of his humble origins. 他总好坏常在意他低微的出身。

In summary, being modest refers to your behaviour, being humble refers to your ego.

总之,谦善是指你的举动,谦虚是指你的自我代价感。
