Why did the officials turn a blind eye to the crime?
为何官员对此罪行视而不见?
形容对某件事熟视无睹、视而不见,就可以用这个英文习语turn a blind eye to sth.,在口语中,也经常说成“装看不见”。
这是山西虐工事件发生后,国外媒体的一句评论:
The same local officials who were now parading themselves as rescuers of trapped workers had long turned a blind eye to the trade.
如今,以被陷工人拯救者自居的地方官们,正是长久以来对此交易视而不见的人。
