two-faced 两面派；伪君子

大家都知道咱们常说的“二皮脸”的意思是“脸皮厚”，我发现英语中有一个表达字面意思与“二皮脸”很像：two-faced。

如果有人说She is a two-faced person. 你会不会就想当然理解为“她脸皮很厚。”呢？

这是不对的哦~

Two-faced其实指的是“两面派；伪君子”，英文解释为：Duplicitous; habitually presenting a different version of oneself at different times, especially in the presence of different people.

（duplicitous [djuː'plɪsɪtəs; djʊ-] adj.奸诈的；双重的；搞两面派的）

所以：She is a two-faced person.意思是“她很虚伪。”

咱们再来看一个例子：

John is not as nice as he pretends to be. He is really two-faced.

约翰根本不是他装出来的那么好，他真是个两面派。
