“人不可貌相,海水不可斗量”这句话翻译成英文怎么翻译比较好?
这句话明显带有中国特色,如果从字面上翻译,比如：A man can not be known by his look,nor can the ocean be measured by a dipper.就成了中国式英语,老外未必能看得懂,如果能够稍加修改,比如译成：A man can not be judged by his appearance,nor can the water in the sea be measured by a bucket.或者：We can not judge a person by appearance only.再或者 You can not judge a book by its cover.(意思是：一本书的好坏取决于它的内容,而不是它的封面装帧的漂亮与否.)会相对好得多,更容易理解.
As a man cannot be known by his looks, neither can the sea be
fathomed by a gourd.
A person is what he is and not what he looks like
希望有帮助
As a man cannot be known by his looks, so can the sea not be measured by a bushel.
Never judge a person by his appearance，Never weigh the sea by a dripper....
Judge not from appearance
You can't judge people by appearance, and measure the ocean with the “dou” (10 pints).；As a man cannot be known by his looks, so can the sea not be measured by a bushel.
