You can picture deprecating as a small downward press. Nothing is shouted: the press lives in a look, a half-smile, a short laugh. Aim it at another person and it reads as quiet criticism — that thing of yours is not much. Aim it at yourself and it reads as 'never mind me', which takes the heat out of the moment. The gesture is the same size either way; what changes is who is underneath it.
deprecating 可以想成一個「往下壓一點」的小動作。沒有人大聲說話，力氣都藏在一個眼神、一個半笑、一聲短促的笑裡。往別人身上壓，聽起來就是看不起你的東西。往自己身上壓，聽起來就是「我沒什麼啦」，對方的火氣也跟著降下來。動作一樣小，差別只在壓的是誰。
