英語口語:In my face 咄咄逼人
星期天,邁克和李華約在一道到戶外市場去買東西。他們很自然地聊起前一天各自做了些什么事。邁克說他星期六一直在工作。
L: 我真難以相信你星期六還得上班,我以為你是星期一到星期五上班呢。
M: Usually, I do only have to work from Monday through Friday. But my supervisor has really been in my face about getting this project done. I needed to get it done by Monday, so I decided to come in over the weekend.
L: 我懂得,你是說你的領導一直在逼著你做完你的工作?墒悄闶窃趺凑f的? In my face? 那是什么意思啊?
M: To say that my supervisor was "in my face" means that he has been giving me a lot of pressure about finishing the project. Just imagine someone who is standing close to your face, demanding that you finish something.
L: 要是你說某人是in your face的話,聽起來可不是什么好事。像是他不斷地在提醒你該做什么事?磥砟愕念I導是個很難處的人啊。
M: Actually, he is not that bad. I really like him as a person. He is just very demanding when it comes to finishing work on time. He has an "in your face" personality.
L:這樣說來,你也可以說某人有"in your face"的個性吶。
M: Yes, that means they have a very aggressive, direct personality. Someone like that usually doesn’t care what other people think about their ideas.
L: 這樣形容一個人的個性,聽起來不太尊敬。
M: You’re right, it’s not a very nice thing to say about someone. You probably shouldn’t tell someone directly that you think they have been in your face about something.
L: 談到"in my face",大太陽正照在我臉上,可真把我曬得夠嗆,咱們到里邊兒去找個陰涼地方吧。
M: Okay, how about getting some ice cream? There’s an ice cream store right over there.
L: 好主意,咱們走吧。
