Question

hyperbole n.夸张法 (1) 美国式的幽默主要以夸张为基础。(2) 这句话当然有些夸张。(3) 这部电影正以所有惯用的夸张手法大力宣传。 The hyper- in hyperbole means "beyond," so it's a good sign that the word has to do with going above and beyond what's necessary. Someone who gets hyperactive about something and ends up hyperventilating (breathing too hard) might be prone to the exaggerated style of speaking known as hyperbole. If you find yourself talking about the absolutely best (or worst) thing of all time, it's time to take it down a notch and cut down on the hyperbole.
