【英文译文】

Because of their earnest and down-to-earth approach to work, westerners are, in the eyes of Chinese smarties, next door to idiotic, They are being laughed at by Chinese smarties for the tremendous amount of energy they put into their activities.While westerners go about whatever work they do methodically and patiently,never dreaming of reaching great heights in one step, we Chinese are always given to seeking a shortcut and regard the ability to boast as the master key to it.

Boasting is an essential art of life just as hyperbole is an indispensable rhetorical figure.The Tang poet Li Bai’s famous lines “The Yellow River comes from the sky” and “My white hair of thirty thousand feet”,examples of hyperbole,which, to those who know little about the art of rhetoric,may sound like a gross exaggeration of the part of the poet.
