The human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. For example, a large nose is said to indicate a great man—manly, courageous, courteous, and intellectual.
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.
A person who is led around by the nose is one that lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide himself.
For the human emotion of frustration, the phrase "to have one’s nose put out of joint" is very descriptive. The expression applies to people who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel humiliated. This expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.
This is only a sampling of expressions in English dealing with the nose. There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling!
选项
A、Feeling embarrassed.
B、Feeling disappointed.
C、Feeling frustrated.
D、Feeling offended.
答案
C
解析
此题亦为词汇题。原文指出“the expression applies to people who have been turned aside because of a competitor,and their pride is hurt and they feel humiliated”,意即被对手打败,感觉有伤自尊,C选项中的“feeling frustrated”表达的正是此意。
