??beauty is in the eye of the beholder的意思是“to express the fact that not all people have the same opinions about what is attractive”，即“恋人眼里出西施；对美的区分因人而异”。

在16世纪，在莎士比亚的作品《爱的白搭》中有多么一段话：

Good Lord Boyet, my beauty, though but mean,

Needs not the painted flourish of your praise:

Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye,

Not utter'd by base sale of chapmen's tongues

这段话表达了美的区分因人而异，跟着时分的生长，到了十九世纪，我们起头用“beauty is in the eye of the beholder”来暗示不合的人对美的见地不合。

例句：

Mike seems to think his wife is beautiful. It all goes to show that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

迈克彷佛认为他的老婆很美。这就叫做恋人眼里出西施。

下面再介绍一个关于beauty的习语：beauty is only skin-deep。

beauty is only skin-deep的意思是“to say that a person's character is more important than how they look”，即“美貌不过一张皮；貌美不如心灵美”。

这句习语源于托马斯·奥弗伯里爵士的诗歌《老婆》中：

All the carnall beauty of my wife is but skin-deep.

跟着时分的生长，我们一般常运用这个习语来暗示心灵美比美貌愈加首要。

例句以下：

They should know that beauty is only skin-deep.

他们应当晓得貌美不如心灵美。
