矜夸

yīng lì jiè jīn kuā

应力戒矜夸

We should guard against conceit and boasting.

tā qiān míng shí nà fù jīn kuā de yàng zi

他签名时那副矜夸的样子

the portentous way in which he wrote his name

yī gè rén bù néng zì chéng yǒu gōng ér miǎn jīn kuā zhī xián gèng bù yòng shuō shì bù néng biǎo yáng zì jǐ de gōng jì le

一个人不能自承有功而免矜夸之嫌，更不用说是不能表扬自己的功绩了。

A man can scarce allege his own merits with modesty, much less extol them.
