slap 作動(dòng)詞，是“打耳光”；作名詞，表示“耳光、拍打”的意思。所以，a slap in the face 就是說“對(duì)自己的侮辱、打擊、打臉、一記耳光”。
【例句】
His decision to leave the company to work for competitors was a slap in the face.
一個(gè)同事離職，去了競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手的公司，也可以算打臉。
It was a slap in the face for her parents when she ignored their advice and gave up her job.
她無視父母的忠告，放棄了自已的工作，是對(duì)她父母的公然侮辱。
