The fable of The Emperor's New Clothes, by Hans Christian Andersen, concerns two tailors who convince a vain emperor that they can weave him a suit of clothes so fine that it is only visible to people of superior taste and intelligence. Buying into the con, the emperor can hardly admit that he is unable to see the clothes, and parades in front of his subjects completely naked. His subjects, in turn, cannot admit they lack the taste and intelligence required to see the clothes. So they perpetuate the lie - feigning admiration of the fine cut and colours - until a child, naive in the ways of the world, shouts "but he isn't wearing anything at all", and the people realise they have all been deceived.

机译：汉斯·克里斯蒂安·安德森（Hans Christian Andersen）撰写的《皇帝的新装扮》寓言涉及两名裁缝，他们说服了一个虚荣的皇帝，他们可以为他织造一套精美的衣服，只有高品位和有才智的人才能看到。皇帝买入骗局后，几乎不承认自己看不见衣服，并且在他的臣民面前完全赤裸地游行。反过来，他的对象不能承认他们缺乏看衣服所需的品味和智力。因此，他们永久保留了谎言-对精美的装饰和色彩充满了敬意-直到一个天真的孩子天天喊着“但他根本没有穿任何衣服”，人们意识到他们都被欺骗了。
