There's not enough lipstick to put on a pig.
在文章中的意思接近中文 [牛牽到北京還是牛]，或是無論做什麼去粉飾太平，都無法
掩飾事物原來的面貌。
以下是 urban dictionary 的解釋
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lipstick%20on%20a%20pig
Slang for when someone tries to dress something up, but is still that
something. Usually used on ugly broads, when they put on a skirt and some
lipstick and well, they still look like the same digusting pig.
