TODAY'S IDIOM: READ BETWEEN THE LINES

"READ BETWEEN THE LINES"



When you read between the lines you try to understand what someone implies, but doesn't openly state, when they say or write something.

Example: I got a letter from Robyn and she isn't happy. She didn't say anything but I could tell by reading between the lines that something's wrong.

Leer entre líneas.

Example sentences:

  • A good writer doesn't tell the reader everything directly but leaves it up to the reader to figure things out for themselves by reading between the lines / Un buen escritor no le dice todo directamente al lector pero le deja en sus manos entender las cosas por si mismos mediante la lectura entre líneas.

  • If you read between the lines, you will know what the writer really thinks / Si tu lees entre líneas, sabrás que es lo que el escritor realmente piensa.

Additional examples:

  • After listening to what she said, if you read between the lines, you can begin to see what she really means.

  • Don't believe every thing you read literally. Learn to read between the lines.
