地道表達

glue one’s face to the books

1. 解詞釋義

Glue on’e face to the books的字面意思就是“把自己的臉粘在書上”，引申爲“喜歡看書的人”的意思。而且是指那些只是讀書，對其他事情不聞不問的人，這裏含有諷刺的意味。類似的還有：He is a nerd.或者是He is a bookworm.

2. 例句拓展

e.g. What do these guys who glue their faces to the books know about practical things?

這些書呆子懂得什麼實際的事務？

e.g. The poor girl liked to be thought clever, but she hated to be thought a girl who glues her face to the books.

可憐的姑娘喜歡人家說她聰明，可是反對把她當作書呆子。

e.g. If you make judgement only by rules, you are the one who glues your face to the books.

辦事只知照本宣科，實爲書呆子氣。
