本研究是作为一种尝试，以阐述波斯文化图式的shekasteh-nafsi？谦虚？这种图式促使说话者贬低自己的才能、技能、成就等，同时赞扬对话者的类似特征。这个图式还鼓励说话者将赞美重新分配给赞美的给予者、家庭成员、朋友或其他同事。本文以民族志的方式阐释了这一图式，并利用实证数据进一步探讨了这一图式在波斯语使用者中的表现。回应赞美。语篇补全测试及其英文翻译版本被用来收集来自伊朗和澳大利亚两组参与者的波斯语和英语数据。澳大利亚小组主要充当参照小组。结果表明，波斯语的发言者在很大程度上例示了shekasteh-nafsi在他们的回应恭维的文化图式。来自澳大利亚人的数据并没有反映出类似的图式，但在淡化恭维的目标特征方面，与波斯人的反应有一定程度的重叠。这项研究希望增加跨文化理解，这是一个需要迫切关注和探索的现象，也许比人类互动史上任何时候都更需要关注和探索。
This study is as an attempt to explicate the Persian cultural schema of shekasteh-nafsi ?modesty?. The schema motivates the speakers to downplay their talents, skills, achievements, etc. while praising a similar trait in their interlocutors. The schema also encourages the speakers to reassign the compliment to the giver of the compliment, a family member, a friend, or another associate. This paper explicates the schema in an ethnographic fashion and also makes use of empirical data to further explore how the schema may be represented in Persian speakers? replies to compliments. A Discourse Completion Test and its translated version in English were used to collect Persian and English data from two groups of Iranian and Australian participants. The Australian group mainly served as a reference group. The results revealed that speakers of Persian largely instantiated the cultural schema of shekasteh-nafsi in their responses to compliments. The data from the Australians did not reflect a similar schema but showed a certain degree of overlap with the Persian responses in downplaying the trait that was the target of the compliment. The study is hoped to increase intercultural understanding, a phenomenon that needs desperate attention and exploration, perhaps more than ever in the history of human interaction.
