white elephant 昂贵又无用之物 （这个大家都知道了，翻译的经典反面例子） 说到翻译，汉语中很多词都带个“白”，但是此白非彼白，翻译的时候可是要注意哦！In some cases, 白may refer to the color, but the English equivalent of the term or expression usually does not have the word white, as in 白菜(Chinese cabbage), 白熊(polar bear), 白蚁(termite). In other cases, 白 has nothing to do with the color at all; the meaning might be something like "in vain(徒劳)", as in 白费事(all in vain, a waste of time and energy), 白送(give away, free of charge, for nothing). Or 白 might mean "plain, unadulterated(白丁)", as in 白开水(boiled water), 白肉(plain boiled pork). It might even have more generalized meaning that is apparent, as in 坦白(to confess, to make a clean breast of things, to be frank), 白痴(idiot), 白话(vernacular), etc. the important thing to remember is that not all that is 白is "white".。
