A
The human nose has given to the language of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyrano De Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man-brave, polite, manly, and bright. A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell. Blaise Pascal, a French philosopher (哲学家) made an interesting comment about Cleopatra's nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world. Historically, man's nose has had an important role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his feelings. Expressions about the nose refer to human weakness, anger, pride, jealousy (嫉妒) and revenge (报复). In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, \a basic human feeling—pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose, lets his instinct guide him.
For the human emotion of rejection, the phrase \joint\is very descriptive. The expression applies to persons who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel rejected. This expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.
This is only a sampling of expressions in English dealing with the nose There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling. 51. This passage is about______.
A. the human nose, an organ for breathing and smelling B. the nose giving various expressions C. a woman poet's wish to have two noses
D. interesting comments made on Cleopatra's nose
