  A person’s nose is important for breathing and smelling.The nose is also used in many popular expressions.

  Some people are able to“Iead other people by the nose”.For example, if a wife“leads her husband by the nose”, she makes him do whatever she wants him to do.

  It is always helpful when people“keep their nose out of other people’s business”.They do not interfere(干涉).The opposite of is someone who“noses around” all the time.This kind of person is interested in other people’s private matters.He is considered“nosey”.

  One unusual expression is“that is no skin off my nose”.This means that a situation does not affect or concern me.We also say that sometimes a person“cuts off his nose to spite his face”.That is, he makes a situation worse for himself by doing something foolish because he is angry.

  More problems can develop if a person“looks down his nose” at someone or something.The person acts like someone or something is unimportant or worthless.This person might also“turn up his nose” at something that he considers not good enough.This person thinks he is better than everyone else.He has his“nose in the air”.

  In school, some students“thumb their nose” at their teacher.They refuse to obey orders or do any work.Maybe these students do not know the correct answers.My mother always told me, if you study hard, the answers should be“right under your nose” or easily seen.
