地道表達(dá)：
fly in the face of
解詞釋義：
動(dòng)詞fly有“急行，迅速走動(dòng)”的意思，fly in the face of表示“悍然不顧，公然違抗”，有時(shí)候也用作“與......完全相反”。
支持范例：
Eg. Shall I abandon myself to a dispirited despair, or fly in the face of the Almighty?
我是任憑自己懊喪絕望下去呢，還是公然反抗萬能的上帝呢?
Eg. Anyone who is tempted to fly in the face of discretion had better think twice.

Eg. Doesn't this fly in the face of what you have been preaching so eloquently for so long?
難道這不是和你長期以來振振有詞宣揚(yáng)的那些理論大相徑庭嗎?
