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.

Igor Vladimirovich danced very well, not as professionally as Lyova, but people watched as they [Igor Vladimirovich and Varya] danced. They recognized him (2a).[VP: subj: human or collect; often infin with надо, нужно, будем etc]=====⇒ to see things or evaluate facts as they really are, look at things clearly, soberly:- we (you etc) must face (up to) the truth;- we (you etc) must look the facts in the face;- we (you etc) must face (the) facts;- we (you etc) must face up to reality;- we (you etc) must confront the truth;- [in limited contexts] left (you might as well etc) face it.♦ [Трофимов:] Продано ли сегодня имение или не продано - не все ли равно?

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. You've got to have the courage to face the truth, not comfort yourself with vain hopes (5a).♦ Глянем правде в глаза. Его [мой роман] никто не читал (Булгаков 12)....No one, let's face it, had read it [my novel](12a).
