丑媳妇早晚要见公婆    
chŏu xí fù zăo wăn yào jiàn gōng pó
英译 (English) 1.Even the ugly daughter-in-law has to meet the husband's parents sooner or later. 2.What is not expected to show up may not be hidden for a long time.
释义 (paraphrase) 比喻不好的东西迟早要让人知道。
示例 (demonstration) 而交楼标准与销售时的承诺无法兑现的问题则多数因为开发商在销售时的宣传广告过分夸大和美化了自己的项目。这样虽然可以使销售周期缩短,资金回收加快,但这种短期行为却为今后的交房酝酿了极大的风险隐患。因为,“丑媳妇”早晚是要见“公婆”的。”(《北京青年报》2001/11/29)
