无中生有 用英语怎么说?

中 → 英 · 俚语习语

make something out of nothing
「无中生有」的英文是 make something out of nothing,指凭空捏造事实或从零创造出东西,口语里常用来吐槽别人瞎编乱造。

详解

源自《老子》「天下万物生于有,有生于无」,本指凭空捏造、毫无根据,现代口语也引申为从零做出成绩。语气随意带贬义,指控他人编造时常说 You're making something out of nothing,不要直译成 no middle give birth have。

例句

You're making something out of nothing — I never said that.
你纯粹是在无中生有,我根本没说过那种话。
She made something out of nothing and built a business from scratch.
她白手起家,硬是从零做起了一门生意。
