Question

英文俗语

Answer 1

一、“出洋相”

“出洋相”，中文俗语，意思是指在人前出丑，闹笑话。与英文习语“make an exhibition of oneself”意思相近，表示“to behave so foolishly in public that one excites notice or ridicule”。

二、“换汤不换药”

“换汤不换药”，中文俗语，意思是比喻名称和外形、画面虽然改变了，但实际内容还是老一套。可以翻译为“old wine in a new bottle”，表示“an existing concept or institution offered as though it were a new one”。

三、“破天荒”

“破天荒”，中文词语，意思是“以前从来没有出现过的事，或第一次出现的事”，可以翻译为“occur for the first time; be unprecedented; never happened before”。旧时文人常用“破天荒”来表示突然得志扬名。
