"Judge a book by its cover" – đánh giá một cuốn sách bằng bìa ngoài của nó. Cụm từ tương tự như thành ngữ “Trông mặt mà bắt hình dong”, ý chỉ việc đánh giá một sự vật, sự việc, con người qua vẻ bề ngoài của nó.

Ví dụ
When it comes to being mixed-race (đa sắc tộc), what I have learnt is that human beings always judge a book by its cover.

He said, "I really believe that the exterior (bề ngoài) is not so important. It's like that saying, 'Don't judge a book by its cover.' A lot of times, we look at a person on the street and we think, 'He won't be as intelligent or as cool as me.' But you know what? You would be surprised," he said.

I had worked a long time to keep my judgments (sự phán xét) out of my business (không phải việc của tôi), but if I ever needed a reminder (sự nhắc nhở) not to judge a book by its cover, that was it. I am glad I did my normal client evaluation (sự đánh giá) when we first met, or I would have cheated myself out of meeting one of my most successful clients.
