人人都懂得谦虚使人进步的道理，所以每当他们完成一件很重要的任务或获得一些成功时，他们总是说this is nothing to write home about.你知道这是什么意思吗？home是大家都比较熟悉的，如果叫你写一篇关于home的文章，你一定能大书特书，发挥得淋漓尽致。正好，在英文中，write home about就可以理解为大书特书，从而可理解到片语nothing to write home about的意思为“没有什么值得大书特书的，太微不足道而没有什么可写的或可说的”，中文中的不足挂齿意思与之接近。。If you say that something is nothing to write home about，you mean that it is not very interesting, exciting, or special.先看个例句：Yes, there is cheese, bread in the supermarket, but the taste is nothing to write home about.
(译文：是的，这个超市有干酪、面包，但味道却不足称道。)
从上面这个例句可以看出，片语nothing to write home about可以直接译为“不足称道的，不足一提的”，用英文解析就是：something that is not particularly good or special, or too insignificant to tell about.好的，再来看一个例子：
Although he had tried his best to perform on the popular TV show, his performance, however, was nothing to write home about.
(译文：虽然他已经尽力在受欢迎的电视秀上表演，但他的表演却是不足称道的。)
