出道题：“司马昭之心路人皆知”怎么翻译？

“司马昭之心路人皆知”在我的汉英词典上
译作express conspiracy，无趣之极，完全没有原
文具有的文化感染力。
是否可以翻译成“McBeth's conspiracy”？

Sure, depending on the context. Thanks!

a "well-known open secret"? either a "well-known secret" or an "open secret" is enough, IMHO

You could be right. I was thinking in terms of an "open secret" being just "open" but is not necessarily "well-known".

I agree
