When is her new novel coming out?她的新小说何时出版?
When is it coming out in paperback ?这本书的平装本什么时候出版?
Homosexuals in public life are now coming out of the closet.公众人物中的同性恋者如今正逐步亮相。
It seems that 'coming out of the closet' was born as a mixture of two metaphors: a debutante proudly stepping into the arms of a community and a shocking secret being kept in hiding.看起来“出柜”的出现是两个隐喻词的汇合:公开参加同一群体的社交活动,以及一个隐藏着的惊人秘密。
Being in the closet implies hiding from the outside world, and the act of coming out of it implies the will to stop hiding.在衣柜里则意味着逃避外界,而出来这个动作意味着将会不再躲藏。
