TODAY'S IDIOM: YOU CAN'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER

"YOU CAN'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER"



Decisions shouldn't be made primarily on appearance.

Example:  I was nervous about talking to a guy that had big muscles and tattoos, but he was way nicer than I thought he would be, so I guess you can't judge a book by its cover.

No puedes juzgar a un libro por su portada.

  • She doesn't look very intelligent, but you can't judge a book by its cover / Ella no parece muy inteligente, pero no puedes juzgar un libro por su portada.

  • I know you want to think he's honest, but be careful; you can't judge a book by its cover / Sé que quieres pensar que él es honesto, pero ten cuidado; no se puede juzgar un libro por su portada. 

Additional examples:

  • John: I want to buy this car. It looks great...Julie: Have a test drive with someone who knows cars well before you decide, you can't judge a book by its cover.

  • Robert is a nice guy and you can't judge a book by its cover; so please don't comment on him.
