清白與賄賂
清白 pure, innocent
賄賂 bribe, bribery
I don't have skeleton in my closet.
http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/11448457.html?si=3
"...
每次竞选期间一到，一定会看到候选人争相证明自己的过去是清白的，没有什么不可告人的秘密。这句话在英文里要怎么讲呢？当然最简单的说法就是，"I don't have any secrets in the past." 但是这样的说法不如俚语的用法 "I don't have skeleton in my closet." 来得传神。在这里 skeleton 是指骷髅，而 closet 是指衣柜的意思，各位不难想象，一个人把骷髅藏在自己的衣柜里作什么？一定是有不可告人的秘密。例如你在高中时考试作弊被抓到，还被记了一个大过，但你长大之后这件事再也没有人提过，所以你也不想别人知道。这件考试作弊就变成是你的 skeleton in the closet。
有时候我自己也会别出心裁，把这句话改变一下，展现一下自己的幽默感。例如有次我室友不让我进他房里，我就用这句话亏他，"Do you have any skeleton in your room?" (你房里是不是有什么不可告人的秘密啊？) 当然 in your room 是我自己改的，但在那样的情况下，却有另一番的味道。
