Never judge a book by its cover. 不要以貌取人。（不要以一本书的封面好坏来判断书的好坏）
这是一句经常可以看到的格言，而且也经常被篡改成其他近似的说法，来表达一些特定的意思，Google一下，得到很多这样的句子：
Never judge a day by its weather. (气象服务)
Never judge a man by his T-shirt. (服装店)
Never judge a mobile phone by its cover. (手机门户)
Never judge a woman by the size of her shoes. (卖鞋的)
Never judge an auction by its cover. (eBay / 还记不记得上次有人天价买掉XBOX 360...的照片?)
这个最有意思：
Never judge a book by its movie.
是啊，我们已经看到很多由原著的书改编的电影，有多少真正忠于原著，甚至接近原著的高度呢？寥寥无几。出现这样的改编格言，也就相当耐人寻味了。
