modest&humble這兩個形容詞都有“謙恭”之意。Bemodest,otherwiseyouwilllagbehind.謙虛些，不然就要落后。Knowledgemakehumble;ignorancemakeproud.博學(xué)使人謙遜，無知使人驕傲。modest含義廣泛，指行為或態(tài)度等方面不自大、不虛榮、不高傲、不武斷或不自負(fù)。比如：humble指精神和行為上謙遜。褒義指對自己或自己成就不驕傲；貶義指過低地評價自己，對人低聲下氣。比如：MyfatherwasaclosefriendofAlbertEinstein.AsashyyoungvisitortoEinstein’shome,IwasmadetofeelateasewhenEinsteinsaid,“Ihavesomethingtoshowyou.”HewenttohisdeskandreturnedwithaYo-Yo.Hetriedtoshowmehowitworkedbuthecouldn’tmakeitrollbackupthestring.Whenmyturncame,Idisplayedmyfewtricksandpointedouttohimthattheincorrectlyloopedstringhadthrownthetoyoffbalance.Einsteinnodded,properlyimpressedbymyskillandknowledge.TheProfessorandtheYo-Yo
