nose
The English phrase “face to face” and its Chinese counterpart are exactly the same But English people, to express the same idea, can say nose to nose instead. There is no such substitute in Chinese.
The word nose appears in many idioms. Here are two which are quite similar to their Chinese equivalents: lead somebody by the nose and turn up one’s nose at somebody or somethings.
Englisah people can say as plain as the nose on one’s face to mean “very obvious”. Maye to them ,the nose is the most conspicuous part of the face.
鼻，鼻子
英文短语face to face和中文的对应语“面对面”完全一样。但英国人要表达这个意思还可以说nose to nose, 中文却没有另外的相应说法。
Nose一词出现在许多短语中。这里有两条和中文的对应语十分想像；lead somebody by the nose（牵着某人的鼻子走）；turn up one’s nose at somebody or something（对某人或某物嗤之以鼻）。英国人表示“明明白白”时，可以这样说：as plain as the nose on one’s face,或许对他们来说，鼻子是位于脸上最明显部位的缘故。
