🎓 深度講解
打臉的英文可不是 hit face!我們可以用 a slap /slæp/ in the face 表達「打臉」,指推翻他人錯認的事實或謊言,而使之丟臉、出糗。名詞 slap 指巴掌聲、拍打聲,是不是非常的易記、好聯想呢?在日常生活中,舉凡戳破網友的假新聞、辯論時提出正確的資訊推翻對手觀點、政治人物的言詞前後不一等,我們都可以用打臉一詞(a slap in the face)來描述當下的狀況。
另一個表達打臉的說法:prove someone wrong ,動詞 prove /pruv/「證明」+ someone「某人」+ 形容詞 wrong「錯了」➔ 證明某人說錯了 ➔ 打臉某人。
