slap 作動詞,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.
一個同事離職,去了競爭對手的公司,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,是對她父母的公然侮辱。
