昨天新来了一位试讲外教，一口流利的美式英语听得我们几个在座的都暗暗叫好，没想到老板 Bruce 却把他给PASS掉了，看着我们几个中国人惊愕又迷惘的眼神，Bruce 慢吞吞地解释道：“This guy must be from Miami（这家伙一定是从迈阿密来的）”听了这话我们更惊讶了，老板你连履历表都没看，怎么猜到他是从迈阿密来的呢？“You can't tell it，there's no way he can disguise that southern accent.”（你们看不出来，他那南方口音是掩饰不了的。）【迈阿密(Miami) 是美国南部佛罗里达州的一个城市】

口音重不重的，压根儿就不是问题。

好吧，你说是就是吧，谁让你就是美国人呢......今天就和大家来说一说“掩饰”的地道说法儿——disguise，其实不光是口音、如果你还有其它的什么不可告人的小秘密呀、单相思的感情呐、不想让人发觉的悲伤或失望呀什么的，统统都可以用这个词儿来表达，因为 disguise 本身就有“伪装、假扮”的意思，所以引申出来就是“掩饰、掩盖或隐藏”啦！

disguise /dɪsˈɡaɪz/

vt. 掩饰，掩盖；隐藏（观点、感受等）隐瞒

【En】to hide an opinion, a feeling, etc. 隐藏意见、感情等。 to hide a fact or feeling so that people will not notice it. 隐瞒事实或感情以使人们不会注意到。to hide it or make it appear different so that people will not know about it or will not recognize it. 隐藏它或让它看起来与众不同，这样人们就不会知道它或不会认出它。

a blessing in disguise 塞翁失马 焉知非福 因祸得福（掩饰之下的祝福）

面具戴得太久，都忘了面具下的自己是谁了。
