A Modest Boy

I was a modest, good - humoured boy; it is Oxford that has made me insufferable.

我本是个害羞而又脾气极好的小伙子，就是那牛津把我造成了一个令人讨厌的人物。

He was a very simple, modest boy, and he, too, felt vaguely that Polly and her sisters were more experienced and worldly than his people.

他是一个非常简单的，温和的孩子，他也觉得空洞波莉和她的姐妹们更有经验的人比他的世俗。

For example, if you're an eighth-grade boy who's just started lifting weights, a 37-kg bench press is a modest, yet decent, starting goal.

一个8年级男孩可从37公斤开始练习举重，这对他来说不高也不低，较为合适。
