"False modesty" nghĩa là gì?


"False modesty" = giản dị giả -> nghĩa là giả vờ hạ thấp khả năng, thành tựu của bản thân.

Ví dụ
“Being given the opportunity (cơ hội) to serve the members of the Texas Press Association is humbling (khiêm tốn) — and I don’t mean that with false modesty,” Woolsey said.

Does this suggest that the team thinks that the task of staying compatible (thích hợp) with C++ is such a constraint (miễn cưỡng) that Carbon cannot better these existing language - or is it just false modesty?

There’s lots of appreciation — some of it from the man himself, who isn’t one for false modesty — but it’s always tempered with an awareness of his flaws. “I’m the greatest player that’s ever played at this point,” he says of his mid-Eighties heyday (thời hoàng kim). “Why did that not feel that amazing?”

Self-deprecatingly (tự ti) he added that this show was held here because “I’m still a student of the game.” That, though, was false modesty.
