口语，“言过其实”用英语怎么说？
stretch the truthstretch有“拉伸，伸展”的意思，我们常说的伸懒腰stretch oneself就用到了这个词。这里的truth是被伸展的对象，也就是说事实被夸大了，做了些延伸的解释
to say something that is not completely honest in order to make someone or something seem better than it really is
为了让某人或某事看起来比实际更好而说一些不完全诚实的话；夸大事实，言过其实
He was accused of stretching the truth about how much he had helped in the project.
