用put on a brave face表达“装做若无其事的样子”

如果说一个人在假装地高兴或故作镇定,好像什么事情都没有,就可以说 put on a brave face 即装作若无其事的样子。

  • Mary didn‘t get the promotion she was expecting. But she put on a brave face and went to the office party.
  • The athletes put on a brave face when they left the stadium, where the team had suffered its worst defeat in ten years.

值得注意的是,另一个短语 two-faced 的意思是两面派,人前人后言辞不一。



  • Frederick is two-faced. He keeps telling me he loves my work, while he says to my colleagues that he thinks I should be sacked.
