那是中国人太谦虚了。我们觉得是自大,其实顶多就是自信。再说,有什么国家能几十年发展成中国这样?我们完全有资本自信。你看温州商人以前条件多差?全是靠自己赤手空拳打拼出来的。他们现在有钱了,爱买什么买什么。

That's excessive Chinese modesty. We feel like it's overconfidence, when at most, it's self-confidence. And furthermore, what other countries could develop for decades the way China has? We have every right to be self-confident. Look how lousy Wenzhou business people had it in the past. They got rich entirely by pulling themselves up by the bootstraps. Now they're rich, and they can buy whatever they like.
我们也没强到那种地步,按人均收入算,中国还是发展中国家呢!如果大家现在就自大,那以后肯定搞不好。
wǒmen yě méi qiáng dào nàzhǒng dìbù ,àn rénjūn shōurù suàn ,Zhōngguó háishì fāzhǎnzhōng guójiā ne !rúguǒ dàjiā xiànzài jiù zìdà ,nà yǐhòu kěndìng gǎobuhǎo 。
We're not that strong yet. If you look at average income, China is still a developing country. If everybody gets overconfident, things will definitely not go well later on.
