3、怕要給人罵了。但有什么不對(duì)呢?I also appreciate other people . I appreciate anything good .

7、ry onbus in ess if he, by imitati ng the affectati ons of us in tellectuals, were to show false modesty about his mel ons ? He would sure eno ugh die of starvati on.老兄，老王是靠賣(mài)瓜吃飯的，叫他也學(xué)我們書(shū)生扭扭捏捏，對(duì)自己的瓜謙虛一番，生意還用做么？他保證餓死大吉。Self-aPPreciation is therefore key to professional dedication and enjoyme nt of work .
