The grass is greener on the other side,完整版是The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.(篱笆那边的草总是比较绿,即“邻家芳草绿”。)表示“别人的东西(或处境)比自己的好”。可以翻译成“这山望着那山高;隔岸风景好,邻家芳草绿;外国的月亮比较圆;吃着碗里的,想着锅里的”。
参考双语例句:
Julie is always moaning about how small her house is compared to mine. It really isn’t. But I suppose the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
朱丽总是抱怨她的房子比我的小,其实根本不是这样。不过也难怪,人们总是觉得别人的条件比自己的好。
