It's not the beard that makes the philosopher.
머리 깎았다고 다 중이 되는 건 아니지.
May: They have a great selection of books here. Look at all these foreign books. I found the book "Time of Life", which I never was able to find anywhere in the whole city. It's amazing! John: That's great! Is it what you wanted to buy? What's it about? May: No, I'm just saying that it's amazing that this book store even has a book like that. The book is about this guy who spent 30 years on this tiny island, doing nothing. John: Are you kidding me? May: No. That's really the story of the book. What are you looking at? John: I'm looking at this novel by William Hustle. "The Adventurer" May: That book's really not good. I mean, just in case browsing turned to buying, you'll be wasting your money. John: Really? Why? Did you read this book? May: No, but I saw the writer on TV and he looked just awfully messy. John: Well, it's not the beard that makes the philosopher. I think I'll get this.
* Are you kidding me? : '농담하는 거지? 혹은 장난하는 거지?' 라는 뜻. Are you serious? 와 같은 의미. * awfully : 끔찍하게 * messy : 지저분한 * It's not the beard that makes the philosopher : 수염이 있다고 해서 다 철학자는 아니다, 즉 겉모습이 그 사람의 본질을 말하는 것은 아니라는 의미. All that glitters is not gold. 와 같은 말.
