Let’s talk about the stories with expressions that include the word "face".
The first is "face the music". It means to accept the results of what you have done. Here is an example from a Reuter’s news report. Britain’s highest court had ruled that former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet was legally arrested. Opponents of General Pinochet welcomed the news. One of them said we have waited for years for this man to face the music. No one is sure how the expression began. One story is that it came from a military ceremony held when a soldier was forced out of an army. The buttons were cut from the soldier’s clothing. He was put on a horse facing the back of the horse and led away. As he left he faced the music of a military band and the soldiers he had served with. Another story says the expression began in the theater. New actors shaking with fright were told that the only cure was to go out and face the music. The music was played by the orchestra seated in front of the stage.
Another expression is "as plain as the nose on your face". It means that something is as clear as it can possibly be. Shakespeare used the words almost 500 years ago for a joke in his play Two Gentlemen of Verona. Valentine secretly loves Lady Sylvia. His servant jokes that Vlaentine’s love for her is "as hard to see as the nose on a man’s face". Of course a man’s nose can not be hidden.
Where did the expression "face the music" come from?
Why did the soldier forced to leave the army have to face the military music band?
选项
A、Bemuse he had to stand in front of the music band of the military.
B、Because he had to face the back of the horse while leaving.
C、Because the soldiers he had served with would play for him.
D、Because the buttons on the soldier’s clothing would be cut off.
答案
B
解析
本题问“被迫离开部队的士兵为什么不得不面对军队的乐队?”短文提到,He was put on a horse facing the back of the horse and let away. As he left he faced the music of a military band and the soldiers he had served with.也就是说,他骑马离开的时候要面向马尾,所以不得不面对军队的乐队和曾经共同服役的士兵。据此可以断定 [B]“他在离开的时候要面向马后”正确。
