多益題型最近出現跟「五官」相關連的用法,值得在此一提:

1.  " Eye to eye " → see eye to eye with ...  與……意見一致

John seldom sees eye to eye with his parents. 
約翰很少與他父母親的意見一致

2. " Ear to ear " → smile/grin from ear to ear  笑得合不攏嘴(嘴角裂到兩隻耳朵)

John smiled from ear to ear after hearing the news. 
約翰得知消息之後笑得合不攏嘴。

3. " Mouth-to-mouth " → mouth-to-mouth resuscitation 口對口人工呼吸
*Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)心肺復甦術

John gave her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation before the ambulance arrived. 
約翰在救護車到達前為她施行了口對口人工呼吸。

4. " On the nose " (時間)整點

John goes jogging at 4:00 p.m. on the nose every day. 
= John goes jogging at 4:00 p.m. sharp every day.
= John goes jogging  at exactly 4:00 p.m. every day.  
約翰每天下午4點整準時跑步。

5. " Hand-to-mouth " → hand-to-mouth existence  勉可餬口的生活

I was told that John lived a hand-to-mouth existence.
我聽說約翰過著勉可餬口的日子。
