  中国人把当面说奉承话叫做给某人“戴高帽子”。

  在古代,有一个在京城朝廷里做官的人,奉命去外地做官。临行前,他去老师家告别。老师叮嘱说:

  “外地的官不容易做,应当谨慎小心些才好。”

  那个做官的人回答说:

  “请老师放心,我准备了一百顶高帽子,逢人便送他一顶,管叫地方上人人高兴。”

  老师生气地说:

  “我们都是正人君子,怎么可以这样做呢?”

  The official pretended he had no way out and said:

  "Very few people under heaven are like you who dislike being flattered or presented with tall hats."

  Hearing this, the teacher was very much pleased. He nodded and said:

  "What you said is true, too."

  After the official said farewell to his teacher and went out, he said to his friend:

  "Of my 100 `tall hats',now only 99 are left."

  那个做官的人装着无可奈何的样子说:

  “天下不喜欢戴高帽子的人实在太少了啊!像老师您这样的又能有几个呢!”

  老师听了很高兴,点点头说:

  “你讲的也不错!”

  那个做官的人告别老师出来后,对朋友说:

  “我的一百顶高帽子,现在只剩下九十九顶了!”
