Athena Chu

Explain that you don't understand but pretend to be proficient.

Consequence The direct consequence of this practice is misleading and hurting others.

Synonyms are nothing more than making up numbers, putting on airs, cheating, being smart, being self-righteous, sneaking around and being ignorant.

Antonyms are really talented and practical.

ancient times

For example, he always likes to pretend that he doesn't understand and tell me what to do.

A story you don't pretend to understand.

A northerner went to the south to be an official. When he first arrived in the south, there must be many things that he couldn't understand. If he asks others humbly, it may not be difficult to understand. But this gentleman doesn't want to ask anyone else. It would be embarrassing to appear too ignorant. He would rather pretend not to know, which caused many jokes.

Once, a local squire invited him to be a guest, and everyone chatted happily. At this time, the servant sent a plate of water chestnut. This man has never eaten water chestnut, and he is embarrassed to ask. His master repeatedly asked him to taste it first, but he had no choice but to pick up a water chestnut and chew it in his mouth. The host was surprised to see that he ate it without peeling the shell. He asked him, "This water chestnut is delicious when peeled. How can you chew it in your mouth? " He knew he had made a mistake, but solemnly said, "I just came to the south, and some people are not acclimatized." In order to clear heat and reduce fire, they even eat their shells. "

The host shook his head and said, "Why haven't we heard of it? Do you have many of these things there? " The man replied, "There are many!" There are long mountains everywhere in front of and behind the mountains. "The host had a heart attack. Another time, he went shopping with a friend. In the vegetable market, they saw a man selling ginger. The man had never seen how ginger grows, so he asked, "How much ginger can a tree produce a year?" The ginger seller and the people around him laughed. They said, "Ginger grows in the ground. How can it be from a tree?" He just argued with others: "You are so stupid. Ginger is made from trees. I don't know. "Our neighbor has a ginger tree. If you don't believe me, let's ask? " Although he said that, his heart was weak, because he knew that there was no ginger tree in his neighbor's house, and he just wanted to save himself. His friend knew in his heart that he didn't understand and pretended to understand, so he deliberately said to everyone, "Would a learned man like him not know that ginger grows in the ground?" He is just testing you to see if you can stick to your point of view. If you are right, you must dare to persist; if you are wrong, you must dare to correct it, so that you can make progress! "Hearing his friend's words, the man blushed.
