III. Case Study
★ Case 3. Li
Hongzhang’s embarrassment
Question 1: Could
the Westerners understand the
Chinese modesty?
Question 2: How
could Li get rid of his
embarrassment?
Comment:
What Li said is just
some formulaic polite
expression common in
type. But the
case happened in America, they
could not understand the
Easterners over-modesty,
for they tend to comprehend
what they hear literally, and
a clash was inevitable.
Proper expression:
The cuisine of your country
is really great. It is my
great honor to have a
chance to entertain you with
them.
