A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
卖弄
Ostentation
Ostentation is the signal flag of hypocrisy.
炫耀是虚伪的信号。
Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.
说话要得体，尽量少说话，但一定要简明扼要;因为言语的结局，不是炫耀，乃是叫人明白。
An ostentatious man will rather relate a blunder or an absurdity he has committed, than be debarred from talking of his own dear person.
一个爱炫耀的人宁可把他所犯的错误或荒谬的事说出来，也不愿被禁止谈论他自己心爱的人。
