It's not all that glitters is gold
「It's not all that glitters is gold」與眾所周知的句子「all that glitters is not gold」意思相同:「並非所有閃閃發亮的東西都是黃金」。換言之就表示:「未必外表華麗的漂亮東西,都如同想像中的那麼好。」例如:
However, as he matures, he discovers that all that glitters is not gold.(然而隨著逐漸成熟,他發現並非所有閃亮的東西都是黃金。)
She has been living her own science-fiction saga ever since fame, at 13 and she discovered, too early, that all that glitters is not gold.(自從成名以來,她一直生活在自己的杜撰世界,她在十三歲時太早發現,未必所有漂亮的東西都表裡一致。)
