1. 1很衝的、很招搖的;故意嗆人、讓人難受的(作風或表現)。

    In-your-face behaviour is hard to miss on purpose. It pushes itself at you: loud, bold, and often meant to shock or upset. Ads, clothes, music, and people can all be in-your-face. Sometimes the speaker half-admires the nerve — “at least it is honest” — and sometimes they mean it as a complaint: too much, too sharp, no manners. It is informal, a little , and can sound rude if you use it about a person who is in the room. Though actually it is not only “angry.” A bright pink poster can be in-your-face without anyone shouting. Use the when it sits before a noun: in-your-face style. As a shout on its own, “In your face!” is a different, ruder after you beat someone.

    這個形容詞指故意讓人很難忽略、直接衝著人來的樣子。它很大聲、很大膽,常常是要嚇人或惹人不快。廣告、衣服、音樂和人都可以用它來形容,放在名詞前面要加連字號,例如 「in-your-face style」,是一種很衝的風格。它是口語用法,有點俚語的味道。

    說話的人有時佩服那種大膽,例如 「at least it is honest」,覺得至少很誠實;有時則是抱怨太過頭。它不一定要有人大吼,一張亮粉紅色的海報也可以很衝。單獨喊出來的 「In your face!」 是另一個意思,是贏了之後得意地嗆人。

組成From the phrase in your face: so close and so strong it feels as if it hits you.
