Once when I had an online conversation with a girl, she told me a term that I feel uncertain about, I checked it up on many foreign online English only dictionaries, I cannot find a relevant answer, the term is:
Tinted glasses
Here is the original definition of tinted glass:

Whereas, in China, it has another meaning which perplexs me since I don't know if it makes sense to you really, let me make a sentence for you:
Don't wear a pair of tinted glasses because you are a teacher.
The above sentence, from those who understand "tinted glasses", literally means that "Be fair to everyone in your class once you are a teacher", because according to the Chinese, or at least for those who will literally understand this phrase, would consider that when one wear "a pair of tinted glasses", he or she is no longer objective, imagine that everyone has a pair of glasses used for observing, evaluating, judging others, and perhaps this pair of glasses is colorless, but due to the different understanding of others, the pair of glasses is tinted. For example, an ugly girl whom bought a few segments of garlics was ten times charged than a beautiful girl, (at least for the one who sells the garlic, he has his own judgment of beauty and ugliness), so in this occasion, I'll say "The garlic seller wore a pair of tinted glasses when he was doing business."
So, hello everyone, does the word "tinted glasses" makes sense to you?
