Beauty就是美丽的意思。Beauty is only skin-deep,这个说法的意思就是:美貌只是表面现象。(skin-deep 表面的)换句话也就是说,外表的美貌并不能说明这个人的本质。下面这个例句就说明了这一点: 例句:"Sure, Mrs. Brown is the best-looking woman in town. But you know what they say: beauty is only skin-deep. Underneath, she's about as mean and sti ngy as anybody can be." 这个人说:“当然罗,布朗太太是当地最漂亮的一个女人。但是,你知道大家都在说:美貌只是表面现象。实际上,她比谁都刻薄和小气。”参考资料:摘抄本回答被提问者采纳
