1 Never accept a compliment graciously
不要大方地接受别人的恭维
You may find yourself at a loss for words when you compliment a Chinese host on a wonderful meal, and you get in response, "No, no, the food was really horrible." Moral of the story here: Feign humility, even if it kills you!
当你在餐桌上赞美中国女主人烧得一手好菜时,她回复的“没有啦,食物真还不够好吃”可能会让你不知所措。这个故事的寓意是:佯装谦虚,即使你自己都受不了!
