【字面理解】掩蓋多重罪惡

【英文解析】It is used to say that something is not as good as it looks, sounds, etc.

【中文解析】(用于指沒(méi)有看起來(lái)或聽上去那么好)掩藏實(shí) 情，掩蓋真相

【典型例句】①Fair skin covers a multitude of sins.金玉其外， 敗絮其中。

② Chastity covers a multitude of sins. 一善遮百丑。

③ The term “abstract art” covers a multitude of sins. “抽象 藝術(shù)”這個(gè)名稱可真是冠冕堂皇。

【注釋】滑稽幽默的表達(dá)。源自《圣經(jīng)?雅各書》第5章 第20節(jié)：“這人該知道叫一個(gè)罪人從迷路上轉(zhuǎn)回， 便是救一個(gè)靈魂不死，并且遮蓋許多的罪。” (You should know that whoever brings back a sinner from wandering will save the sinner’s soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. James 5:20)變體：hide a multitude of sins。
