Have you ever heard of “humblebragging(谦虚自夸“凡尔赛”)”? We use it to describe someone who seems to make a modest(谦虚的) statement, but is actually trying to bring attention to something they are 1 . For example, someone might say.“I just found out that I got 2 to Harvard AND Oxford. Maybe they got my application mixed up with someone else’s!” They want to tell others that they’ve been accepted to two good schools. 3 they don’t want to seem arrogant(自大的). So instead, they word it in a(an) 4 that seems more modest.
Although people who humblebrag think it will make them seem easier to get on with, a 2015 study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology showed that humblebragging has the 5 effect.
“Humblebragging backfires(产生事与愿违的结果) because it doesn’t seem very real. That ‘sadness is me attitude connected with self-promotion(自抬身价)’ does not lead to a good 6 ,” said Ovul Sezer, lead author of the study. “Even 7 bragging or complaining is better, because at least those messages are seen as more sincere(真诚的).”
Humblebragging is common and we all do it in a way Alibaba founder Jack Ma once said that his biggest mistake was 8 the company. “I never thought this thing would change my life. I was just trying to run a 9 business, and it grew so big!” he said.
Sezer said the best way to share your achievements is to “admit 10 self-promotion and win the rewards being sincere”. In this way, people will see that you aren’t just showing off and are simply being honest.
