Barefaced 厚颜无耻的

Barefaced 厚颜无耻的

Rob

Hi everyone. Oh, , what a lovely day it is today.

What? It's raining. You seem to be in a good mood.

Rob

Yes, yes. I've done all my work and the boss has given me the rest of the day off… so I'm off now! Bye bye.

Hold on Rob! Rob 说他心情特别好的原因是下午不用上班，因为主编给他放半天假。Err, could you at least stay and present this programme?

Rob

Oh, OK then. There's no rush to go shopping and spend the bonus he's given me, is there?

Oh come on Rob. This doesn't sound like our boss. You're telling me a barefaced lie。这明摆着就是个厚颜无耻的谎话。

Rob

Barefaced? No, this is my real hairy face – look!

No，单词 barefaced 的意思是无耻的，露骨的，毫不掩饰的，尤其用来形容某人脸皮厚，不知羞耻。Rob 说主编给他放假， 又给他发奖金，他是大言不惭地说谎话。Sorry Rob, I think you're lying but let's hear some more examples of this phrase.

Examples

The company's claim that profits had jumped by ten per cent was obviously a barefaced lie.

John was at the pub last night bragging about his goal-scoring again – but we all know he's a barefaced liar.

我们可以用 barefaced 来形容一个人“脸皮厚，不知羞耻”。Come on, Rob, are you telling the truth?

Rob

Oh well, no. I was doing it to show you how great I am.

Well, it didn't work and I'm going to show you my 'bear' face now.

Rob

Wow! That's a real 'bear' face but at least you haven't got a beard – although if you did have one, maybe you'd look a little less... fat?

Huh! 你真的是个 barefaced cheek！

Rob

Time to go, I think. Bye.

Bye.
