Humble and boasting addresses in English @KristinaLopez None of this has anything to do with a CV. From which part of the question did you get that impression? I need to edit that part. |

Humble and boasting addresses in English @KristinaLopez no it's not like a signature. I've updated my question trying to be more clear. One such 'address' is replacing I or We in a sentence. |

Humble and boasting addresses in English @KristinaLopez Please see my intention of using "address" in the above comment and if it is indeed wrong, I would like to know the right word for it. |

Humble and boasting addresses in English @Marthaª By address I mean an expression to call oneself, like "your humble servant". If "address" is not the right word, please correct me. The first translation is a just literal translation. When this sentence is used in Chinese, it's meant to be a modest expression (in front of another company) rather than disparagement or sarcasm. I will try ELL SE. Thanks. |

Humble and boasting addresses in English @Fr0zenFyr Not exactly; I am looking for ways in English (words/idioms, special sentence constructs, etc.) to achieve the same function as the humble/boasting address do in Chinese. |
