3. pay through the nose
按字面解釋,pay through the nose就是通過鼻子來付錢,這聽起來似乎很痛苦,而實(shí)際上,pay through the nose的確切意思是付出比真正的價(jià)值高得多的錢,也可以說是付出的錢實(shí)在太多而讓人感到心痛。
eg. My brother Bob borrowed the money to open his restaurant five years ago when the interest rate was very high, so he’s been paying through the nose ever since.

連續(xù)辛勤地工作
grindstone是“磨刀石”的意思。這個(gè)表達(dá)很形象,按字面意思來看,是說鼻子對(duì)著磨刀石。想象一下一個(gè)人低著頭磨刀的樣子,的確給人一種埋頭苦干的直觀印象啊。而且這個(gè)短語用動(dòng)詞keep表達(dá)一種持續(xù)的狀態(tài),把“埋頭”的意思更生動(dòng)地表達(dá)了出來。
eg. These years those who’re keeping their nose to the grindstone can’t make bundles.
這年頭,只會(huì)埋頭苦干的人是掙不了什么大錢的。
