  sell someone short 意指 “ 小看某人 ” 。含有低估轻视的意思在内,也就是把人看扁了,而其实别人并没有那么差。

  A:Gary isn't the right person for that job.
  盖瑞不是做那份工作的适合人选。

  Bon't sell him short. He's better than you think.
  别小看他。他比你想象中要好。

  这个短句也可以用于指对方,也就是 sell yourself short 。
  A:I don't think I’m qualified for the job.
  我想我不够资格担任这个职务。
  B:Come on! Don't sell yourself short!
  别那样!不要小看自己!
