    Comments: A literal translation of the phrase ‘whitewashed wall’ is rarely meaningful. Sometimes one can use a descriptive phrase such as ‘a dirty wall which is made to look white’ or ‘… to look clean.’ In other instances one may wish to focus upon the function suggested by the idiom ‘whitewashed wall’ and employ a phrase such as ‘one who has been made to look good but really isn’t.’
