I[PrepP; Invar; adv]=====⇒ (to say sth., call s.o. sth., laugh at s.o., lie to s.o. etc) openly, directly addressing the person involved:- (right < straight>) to s.o.'s face;- (tell s.o. sth.) face to face;- (laugh) in s.o.'s face;- [in refer, to lying] tell a boldfaced (barefaced) lie;- lie through one's teeth.♦ Она [Фанни Невская] - настоящая, с ней нельзя болтать, ей нельэя солгать, она заставляет говорить, как на исповеди. Она говорит в лицо то, что думает (Аллилуева 2). She [Fanny Nevskaya] was a real person. You couldn't just gossip with her, or lie to her. With her you spoke as if you were at confession. And she always said straight to your face what she thought (2a).♦ Они лежали и говорили о чём придется, точно обкладывая то самое главное, хрупкое и ломкое, что было сказано, мягкими оберегающими пустяками. Когда лежишь, легче вести такой разговор: можно, закрыв глаза, сказать то, что в лицо говорить не решишься... (Распутин 2). They lay and talked about anything that came to mind, bolstering the most important thing, delicate and fragile, with soft padding trifles. It's always easier to have a conversation like that when you're lying down: you can say things with your eyes closed that you could never say to someone's face..

That's all done with long ago, there's no turning back. At least once in one's life one ought to look the truth straight in the eye (2a).♦ "Нас казаки предали, не пошли за нами и не пойдут. Надо иметь мужество и смотреть правде в глаза, а не обольщаться дурацкими надеждами" (Шолохов 5). "The Cossacks have betrayed us. They didn't follow us then and they won't now.

прост., неодобр.spit upon smb.'s soul; trample on smb.'s finest feelings- Понимаю, - перебил его Игорь. - Понимаю. Если бы Ромео был таким слюнтяем, Тибальд заколол бы его, как поросёнка... Короче, Игорь, как говорится, наплевал ему в душу. От бесед на подобные темы Виктор с тех пор уклонялся. (Я. Голованов, Кузнецы грома) — 'I understand,' Igor broke in. 'I understand. If Romeo had been such a slobberer, Tybald would have slaughtered him like a suckling pig.' In short, Igor had, so to say, trampled on his finest feelings. No more talk with him on that or similar subjects.
