without loophole

天衣無(wú)縫

Long ago， there lived a man named Guo Han.

從前， 有一個(gè)叫郭翰的人。

It was a hot summer. He couldn‘t fall asleep in his bedroom， so he went into the yard to sleep.

因?yàn)橄奶焯鞜幔?在屋子里無(wú)法入睡， 就到院子里去睡覺。

Not long after he lay down he saw a woman dressed in white floating down from the sky.

躺下不久，正看著天空， 忽然看見一個(gè)白衣女子從空中慢慢飄流下來(lái)。

She said to him： “I am the celestial weaver.”

她對(duì)郭翰說(shuō)：“我是天上的織女。”

Looking at her Guo Han noticed that there were no seams in her garments.

郭翰看著這個(gè)女子，發(fā)現(xiàn)他的衣服全身無(wú)縫。

He thought this was very strange.

他覺得很奇怪。

He asked her： “Why are there no seams in your clothes?”

他就問她：“你的衣服怎么沒有縫呢?”

She answered： “The garments of the immortals are not made with a needle and thread. How would they have seams?”

女子回答：“天上神仙的衣服，不是用針線縫出來(lái)的， 怎么會(huì)有縫呢?”

“天衣無(wú)縫”的意思現(xiàn)在大多引申為“事物周密完善，找不出什么毛病”，也就是“沒有漏洞的”意思，在英語(yǔ)中相對(duì)應(yīng)的準(zhǔn)確表達(dá)可以用“without loophole”，“loophole”就是“漏洞，法律空子”的意思，所以“without loophole”也就是“沒有漏洞的”，“天衣無(wú)縫”的意思啦。
