金相玉质

  像黄金一样的外表、美玉一样的质地,比喻从外表到品质都非常优美。

  The Look of Gold and the Texture of Jade

  This metaphor is used to describe anybody or anything that is very beautiful both internally and externally.

  引例 若刀笔之中而得志行,是则金相玉质,内外俱美,实为人宝也。(《周书·苏绰传》)(如果掌管文案的官吏有突出的志向操行,这样的人就是金相玉质,里外都美,实在是人中瑰宝。)

  If a person in charge of official documents displays outstanding aspiration and virtue, he is assuredly endowed with the look of gold and the texture of jade, a man of fine appearance and character. Such a man is a valuable asset, indeed! (The History of Zhou of the Northern Dynasties)
