A: That was no mean feat you performed, young man. We are all proud of you.
B: Well, thank you sir. It was really insignificant.
A: I hardly think finishing all that work on your own was insignificant
B: Really, sir, my contribution was inconsequential; it was really secondary to the main task.
A: Still each part is important.
A: 年轻人,你任务完成得真不错。我们全都为你感到骄傲。
