2021年外交部精彩翻译(5)

无中生有、以己度人

be made up out of thin air; measuring others' corn by one's own bushel

7月29日,外交部发布的《美国就单方面要求中方关闭驻休斯敦总领馆散布的谎言与事实真相》中写道:

美方影射中国驻休斯敦总领馆外交官曾在美盟友如澳大利亚等国从事特工活动,是无中生有、以己度人的猜测。

 

The US allegation that Chinese diplomats at the Consulate-General in Houston have carried out espionage in Australia and other US allies is made up out of thin air. It is like measuring others' corn by one's own bushel.

 

Measuring others' corn by one's own bushel /?b??l/ 字面意思是:用自己的斗去量别人的谷,也就是以己度人
