APAD: All that glitters is not gold.

 All that glitters is not gold. 

Meaning: Something that appears valuable or true may not be.

想到近几年产生的网络谐语： 骑白马的不都是王子，也可能是唐僧

 

…and gold must glitters : )

and "All that is gold does not glitter" -- Tolkien.

是necessary条件，不是sufficient 条件

这个意思难道不是 “是金子总会发光” 的意思？前几天还讨论过这个All。。。is。。。的问题

• 刚参观spy museum in DC, 那句是他们的logo语法应该没问题。意思嘛，同意你的那句，要不也太悲观了：） - 天玉之 -    (48 bytes) (3 reads) 04/06/2023  10:49:43

是金子会发光是必要条件，非充分，会发光的不都是金子

这句开始有点费解， 可以理解为是金子早晚会发光即使现在还被埋在土里

是金子总会发光的英文是什么呢？

"All that is gold does not glitter" -- Tolkien. 7grizzly

我理解这句就是

字面上是：所有那些不发光的金子，那些表面光彩被遮住的宝贝仍然是宝贝

原英文，这个逻辑真是太难理解了。难为你能理解出来：）

Right on! And that's what Tolkien's poem tries to say.

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

 

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.
