【字面理解】掩盖多重罪恶

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

【中文解析】(用于指没有看起来或听上去那么好)掩藏实 情，掩盖真相

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

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

③ The term “abstract art” covers a multitude of sins. “抽象 艺术”这个名称可真是冠冕堂皇。

【注释】滑稽幽默的表达。源自《圣经?雅各书》第5章 第20节：“这人该知道叫一个罪人从迷路上转回， 便是救一个灵魂不死，并且遮盖许多的罪。” (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)变体：hide a multitude of sins。
