译一:A person cannot be judged by his appearance,just as the sea cannot be measured with a bucket.
译二:A person can no more be judged by his looks than the sea be measured with a bucket.

第二句用了否定比较级结构 no more…than 意思是第二件事并不比第一件事更为可行。

You can't judge a man by his appearance,

the ocean can't be measured by a cup
