美不止于形(Beauty is more than skin deep)是一个谚语,意思是指美丽不仅仅是表面的,还包括内在的品质。这个谚语源自于十七世纪英国诗人约翰·贝瑞尔(John Byrom)的一首诗:
Fair tresses man's imperial race insnare,
And beauty makes his wishful eye to shine;
But love and sweet affection must be joined,
If hourly thee with true kindness I'd apgn.
这首诗的意思是说,美丽的头发可以吸引人,美貌会让人眼前一亮,但是如果想要每时每刻都跟你在一起,就必须有爱和深厚的感情。
这句谚语被广泛使用,用来描述一个人除了外貌之外还有内在的优秀品质。
例句:
Don't judge a book by its cover. Beauty is more than skin deep. 不要以貌取人。美不止于形。
She may not be conventionally beautiful, but her kindness and intelpgence make her truly beautiful. 她可能不是传统意义上的美丽,但是她的善良和智慧让她真正美丽。
