铢两悉称 [
zhū liǎng xī chèn]
exactly equal in weight
have the same weight
match in every small detail
- 华丽的文章好做,只要在叙事状物之际采用夸大一倍的字眼就行,然而,要想找出确切的字眼,与那一事物铢两悉称,纤毫不差,可就不那么容易了。
Thus it is easy to affect a pompous style, to use a word twice as big as the thing you want to express; it is not so easy to pitch upon the very word that exactly fits it.
