2. hard-nosed

adj. 顽强的;不屈不挠的;不讲情面的

eg. A former reporter from a family of journalists, she is known for her fiery temperament and commitment to hard-nosed reporting.

出身记者世家的胡舒立从前也是一名记者，她因泼辣的性格和坚持求实报导而闻名。

3. pay through the nose

按字面解释，pay through the nose就是通过鼻子来付钱，这听起来似乎很痛苦，而实际上，pay through the nose的确切意思是付出比真正的价值高得多的钱，也可以说是付出的钱实在太多而让人感到心痛。

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.

7. keep one’s nose to the grindstone

连续辛勤地工作

grindstone是“磨刀石”的意思。这个表达很形象，按字面意思来看，是说鼻子对着磨刀石。想象一下一个人低着头磨刀的样子，的确给人一种埋头苦干的直观印象啊。而且这个短语用动词keep表达一种持续的状态，把“埋头”的意思更生动地表达了出来。

eg. These years those who’re keeping their nose to the grindstone can’t make bundles.

这年头，只会埋头苦干的人是挣不了什么大钱的。

clean.

9. no skin of my nose 不关我的事

字面意思是：没有我鼻子上的皮。乍听起来让人有些摸不着头脑，这一俗语的实际意思是：……与我无关，我不在乎。

eg. Hey, it’s no skin of my nose if Susie’s going out now with that guy! I don’t care what she does —I broke up with her a month ago, when I met Helen.

苏茜现在是否跟那个家伙好，一起出去玩，这不关我的事!她干什么我都无所谓。我在遇到海伦以后就和她断了关系。

10. cut off one’s nose to spite one’s face
