"JM一拿到獎(jiǎng)金就露出本來面目"這是一句很簡單的話，來看看你會(huì)不會(huì)犯中國式英語的錯(cuò)誤吧。用英語應(yīng)該怎么說呢？

【英文對(duì)比翻譯】

Chinese Style -- JM showed his true face as soon as he got the bonus.

American Style -- JM showed his true colors as soon as he got the bonus.

點(diǎn)評(píng)：
show one's face 露面，當(dāng)場(chǎng)
show one's colors 露出真相

注意:這里的 colors 要用復(fù)數(shù)，而且這一短語帶有很強(qiáng)的貶義。再看下面的句子：She finished the work in flying colors（她出色地完成了任務(wù)）。這里的 colors 指“彩旗”，而飄揚(yáng)的彩旗可是勝利的標(biāo)志！
