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-1:"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-2:"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。”
