沐猴而冠的翻译

(比喻虚有仪表) a monkey with a hat on -- a worthless person in imposing attire; a devilish person with imposing attire; a snobbish social climber; making a monkey show -- stupid political figures

沐猴:猕猴 ;冠:戴帽子。本意:猴子穿衣戴帽,究竟不是真人。比喻虚有其表,形同傀儡。常用来讽刺投靠恶势力窃据权位的人。
a monkey with a hat on; a worthless person in imposing attire
出自《史记·项羽本纪》:“人言楚人沐猴而冠耳,果然。”

贬义,与衣冠禽兽的意思差不多
