你的财产实在不多，因此这毫无疑问会大大抵消掉你的美貌和温婉性格。
词语解析：
上面这个句子中出现了一个词，undo，根据构词法可以明显看出，undo就是do的反义，undo the effects即“削弱、消弭影响”的意思。著名翻译家傅雷先生曾把“I will undo the world by dying”译作“我愿一死以了尘缘”，实在是相当惊艳的翻译语言。 汉译英：
1.一步走错，便前功尽弃。
One misstep will undo all our work.
2.覆水难收。
What is done can not be undone.
3.一个人若是品行有亏，再有钱、有地位都于事无补。

4.结打太紧了，根本解不开。
