Whitewash

    粉饰

    张艺谋的《长城》因为粉饰亚洲的历史遭到批评，请看本报周五的报道：

    The movie trailer for the Zhang Yimou-directed "The Great Wall" was supposed to spark discussion about China-Hollywood film collaborations, but instead is being criticized for whitewashing Asian history.

    The upcoming fantasy thriller about the Great Wall of China stars American actor Matt Damon as the protagonist who battles dragons besieging the wall built to protect China.

    Critics ripped into the trailer, saying that it was another example of Hollywood racial bias in casting.

    报道中的whitewash就是“粉饰、掩饰”。例如：

    The official report on the murder was whitewash.

    谋杀案的官方报导是掩饰之辞。
