| 词源 | plain as the nose on your face. Shakespeare used the gist of this expression in Two Gentlemen of Verona (1591), but the full phrase wasn’t recorded until 1655 in a work by British author Henry More: “As plain as the nose on a man’s face.” This phrase has been commonly used to describe anything that is perfectly obvious, the nose standing out farther than any other feature of the face. |
