这段话中的thinking he had not made himself understand如何理解
One day,I heard an American boy say to a Chinese student of English,"You speak very good English."But the student answered,"No,no.My English is very poor."The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer,Thinking he had not made himself understood or the Chinese student had not heard him clearly,he said,"Yes,indeed,you speak very well."But the Chinese student still kept saying,"No."In the end the American boy could not understand and didn't know what to say.

答案

make himself understood,是被动,就是没有使自己被理解,就是美国学生以为中国学生没有听懂他的话啦~中国人为了表示谦虚都会说“没有,没有”,但是欧美国家的人都直接承认并道谢的,这就是文化差异吧
