Understatement

含蓄

 

The contrary figure to hyperbole is understatement, which deliberately represents something as very much less in magnitude or importance than it really is, or is ordinarily considered to be. The effect is usually ironic.

 

含蓄是与夸张相反的修辞手法,这种手法在形容事物时故意轻描淡写,使其严重性或重要性比实际情况或通常认为的情况要轻得多。它所造成的效果通常是讽刺。
