'Skin-deep' nghĩa là nhẹ, không sâu, không quá lần da (vết thương) và vì thế có nghĩa liên quan là hời hợt, không sâu, chỉ có bề ngoài (tình cảm, ấn tượng, sắc đẹp...).
Ví dụ
As Japan prepares to mark the anniversary of the world's second-worst nuclear disaster, it is clear that the progress to date – clearing up debris (vôi gạch đổ nát), and installing protective structures around the four reactor (lò phản ứng hạt nhân) buildings that were destroyed – is largely skin deep.
Is the ABVP (and by extension, the BJP)’s patriotism (lòng yêu nước) so skin deep that it gets offended by a few students engaging in a dialogue? Even if the protest meeting sought to question the government’s official policy, is it justified for the BJP to mistreat a group of students like a full blown revolutionary army on the cusp of a bloody civil war?
“The Safe Schools program has stopping bullying around the country and has helped many young people feel that they fit in. PM, is your commitment to socially progressive values so skin deep that you will put young people’s welfare at risk and throw a successful anti-bullying campaign under a bus just because the bigots (người bảo thủ, người tin mù quáng) in the conservative brotherhood tell you to?” Mr Bandt asked.
