一起来了解一下有关“鼻子”的表达

     A nose is a part of the face. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell.

Many people think a large nose shows a man is brave and wise. Man’s nose has an important role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions concerning the nose refer to the human weakness, anger, pride, jealousy(嫉妒) and revenge(报复).

In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up one’s nose expresses a basic human feeling—pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places.

The phrase, to be led around by the nose, shows a man’s weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide him.

For the human emotion of anger, the phrase, to have one’s nose put out of joint, is very descriptive. The expression applies to persons who have been turned aside because of a rival. Their pride is hurt and they feel rejected(被拒绝的).

There are a number of others. The nose is more than an organ(器官) for breathing and smelling!
