I Really Don’t Deserve This 不敢当
“You were brilliant in that meeting.” “不敢当—there was a good team behind me.” This modest reply means “you’re too kind.” In other moments, 得了 can end a discussion with “that’s enough,” and 用不着 reassures someone that there’s no need to do something.
谢谢，我不敢当。
xièxie， wǒ bùgǎndāng。
Thank you, but I don’t deserve the praise.
对这种人，用不着客气。
duì zhèzhǒng rén， yòngbuzháo kèqi。
There's no need to be polite with this kind of person.
你也真敢说。你不过也才得了65分呀。
nǐ yě zhēn gǎn shuō。 nǐ bùguò yě cái déle 65 fēn ya。
You should talk. You only got a 65.
