请问哪位英语高手能帮我用英语中缩小夸张法(Understatement)造几个句子?

另外请教一下,缩小夸张和另一个夸张手法(Hyperbole/Overstatement)到底区别在哪里呢?最好也能帮我举几个例子.非常感谢

In overstatement the diction exaggerates the subject, and in understatement the words play down he magnitude or value of the subject. Overstatement is also called hyperbole.
Both aim at the same effect: to make the statement or description impressive or interesting.

通俗了说就是Overstatement是往好的方面夸张,Understatement是往坏的方面夸张。
例句:His friends praised his daughter's performances to the skies.(Overstatement)
It took a few dollars to build his indoor swimming pool.(Understatement)

以上仅供参考。
