“What's that?” said one of the twins suddenly, pointing at Harry's lightning scar.

课外讲解与nose有关的俚语

英语里有不少成语和俗语等习惯用语都和鼻子有联系的。比如to follow your nose是一直走的意思，或者是随着你闻到的味道去找什么东西，或什么地方。又比如to pay through the nose是指付出很高价钱。

to be led by the nose: To be led by the nose是一种很不愉快的经历。它的意思就是一个人全部在别人的控制之下，就像一头牲口被人用绳子牵着鼻子走一样。那末to be led by the nose在一般情况下的用法是怎么样的呢？下面这句话就是一个例子：

例句："Ed's wife is a strong-minded woman and leads him around by the nose."
这句话的意思是："埃德的太太是一个个性很强的人，埃德简直就是被她牵着鼻子走。"

下面我们再来举一个例子。这是一个爸爸在给他的儿子提供一些忠告：

例句："Remember, Son, don`t let other people lead you around by the nose. You'll get along a lot better in life if you use your own judgment and do what you yourself think is the right thing."
这位爸爸说："儿子，你可千万要记住不要让别人牵着你的鼻子走。要是你能用你自己的判断力，做你认为是对的事，那你的日子会过得好得多。"

下面我们要讲的一个词汇是 under your nose。举个例子来说吧：有一个人突然发现自己的眼镜找不着了，他到处找，楼上、楼下，找遍了家里每个角落还是找不到。最后，他的太太给他找到了。那眼镜就在他坐着看书的椅子旁边。他太太就会说：

例句："See, they were right under your nose the entire time."
她说："瞧，你的眼镜一直在你的鼻子底下。"

Under your nose的意思也就是一样东西离你很近，但是，你就是没有看到。

我们再举个例子来说明under your nose的用法：

"Did you read in the paper how bold that robber was at the art museum? He cut three paintings from their frames and walked out with them right under the guards' noses."
这个人说："你有没有在报上看到关于那个去博物馆偷东西的贼有多么大胆的消息吗？他把三幅画从镜框里割了下来，然后就竟然在警卫的鼻子底下带出了博物馆。"
