上一講我們向大家介紹了兩個關于face的片語，今天我們再介紹兩個。第一個是blow up in someone's face.現(xiàn)實生活中總有一些人由于急劇增長的名譽或取得的重要成就而驕傲起來，這時他們就可能栽個跟頭了。
The football player is great. They say, “Pride goes before a fall”. Years of constant success and popularity are about to blow up in his face.
（這名足球運動員是很優(yōu)秀的。有句話說“驕傲在失敗之前”。多年來長久的成功和聲望就要使他栽跟頭了。）
這里片語blow up in someone's face的意思是“使某人栽跟頭或使某人做事失敗”。這個片語主要用來描述突然間的、沒有預期到的做事失敗或栽了跟頭，所以有時也譯為令某人難堪。if something you have done or planned to do blows up in your face, it suddenly goes wrong.
再看一個例子：
Harry is very proud of herself, she always tells others that she is the best one. But now, it is kind of funny watching the presentation blow up in her face.
（Harry很驕傲，她總是告訴別人她是的。但現(xiàn)在看到她難堪的樣子真是有趣。）
正如漢語中的一句名言所言“驕傲使人落后?！焙苊黠@的，驕傲之后接踵而來的就是跟頭了。對了這里表達“很明顯的”之意，我們可以用一個比較復雜一點的片語來表示：as plain as the nose on one's face.
Harry is one of the best players. That is as plain as the nose on your face. But he doesn't deserve all the credit for the great progress our team has made. Other players worked hard too. （Harry是的選手之一。那是很明顯的。但我們不該把巨大的進步歸功于他一個。其他選手也做得很努力。）
片語as plain as the nose on one's face意思是“很明顯的”。Plain本來就有“簡單清楚，明白樸素的”之意。所以從字面上看這個片語的意思就是“像某人臉上突起的鼻子一樣清晰明白的”，當然這個意思就是我們常說的“很明顯的”之意了，相當于it's very clear that.
He is very nervous. That is as plain as the nose on your face, because he stands awkwardly in front of the microphone for several minutes and says nothing.
（很顯然地，他十分緊張,因為他在麥克風前局促不安地站了好幾分鐘而沒有說一句話。）
結束語：在英文寫作中我們有時需要用不同的詞匯來表達同一個意思，這樣文章才顯得生動而不千篇一律。很顯然的（as plain as the nose on one's face）,當我們表達“很顯然的”意思時，我完全可以用it is clear that，也可以用it is obviously，但在一篇多處需要表達這個意思的文章中，如果你總是使用這兩個簡單的片語就易栽跟頭了（blow up in one's face），所以記住還有另一個表達as plain as the nose on one's face.需要注意的是，這個片語，常用作副詞片語，而且在句中起插入語的作用，所以常用固定搭配as plain as the nose on your face.
