It was a hot summer. He couldn't fall asleep in his bedroom, so he went into the yard to sleep.

She said to him: "I am the celestial weaver."

她對郭翰說：“我是天上的織女。”

Looking at her Guo Han noticed that there were no seams in her garments.

“天衣無縫”的意思現(xiàn)在大多引申為“事物周密完善，找不出什么毛病”，也就是“沒有漏洞的”意思，在英語中相對應(yīng)的準(zhǔn)確表達可以用“without loophole”，“loophole”就是“漏洞，法律空子”的意思，所以“without loophole”也就是“沒有漏洞的”，“天衣無縫”的意思啦。
