什么叫低调陈述？

低调陈述英语解释为understatement

Understatement is the opposite of overstatement in that it misrepresents the truth by deliberately understating it as opposed to exaggerating it.

简单来说，低调陈述与夸张正好相反。

如：the face wasn't a bad one; it had what they called charm.

这个句子中，the face wasn't a bad one就是采用了低调陈述的手法，实际意思就是：the face was a very good one. 就像中文中有人问起自己妻子的相貌，丈夫会谦虚的说：不丑。而这个“不丑”也隐含了一层意思就是：很漂亮。这就是低调陈述。

Understatement 歌词

歌曲名:Understatement

歌手:New Found Glory

专辑:Hits

I'm sick of **iling

And so is my jaw

Can't you see my frown is dropped way down

I'm sick of being someone I'm not

Please get me out of this slump

I'm sick of clapping

When I know I can do it better for myself

I'm sick of waiting

Sick of all these words that will never matter

I'll write these words together

Hoping for a chance to think on time

And I'm tracing over your letter

To see if your intentions are as good as mine

But you're

Getting worse

I swear it

It's hard to prove you're an understatement

You're getting worse

And I know

That you'll be calling

Calling, calling me again

I'm dumped with everything

That had the two of you

Don't worry your pictures are already burned

I'm dumped with new friends

Don't sell yourself short

You'll lose it in the end

I'll write these words together

Hoping for a chance to think on time

And I'm tracing over your letter

To see if your intentions are as good as mine

But you're

Getting worse

I swear it

It's hard to prove you're an understatement

You're getting worse

And I know

That you'll be calling

Calling, calling me again

I can't help how I feel

No I can't help how I feel

But you're

Getting worse

I swear it

It's hard to prove you're an understatement

You're getting worse

And I know

That you'll be calling

Calling, calling me again

Calling me again

Calling me again

But you're

Getting worse

I swear it

It's hard to prove you're an understatement

You're getting worse

And I know

That you'll be calling

Calling, calling me again
