Vicki: Today's expression is: to save face. Chen Li: To save face. 什么意思?解释一下好吗? Vicki: Well, it's an idiom but it’s not too complicated. To save face means to avoid embarrassment. Chen Li: 我知道了,就是挽回面子的意思。我们如何来使用这个表达呢? Vicki: Well, if you got fired for example, you might say you resigned to save face. Chen Li: 那就是挽回面子了。 Example A: I hear that Bill lost the contract for the new shopping centre. Was the boss angry? B: Very. But Bill managed to save face. He resigned before they could fire him. Vicki: I went for dinner with my brother and his new girlfriend. Chen Li: 好玩吗? Vicki: Yes, but I had to save face for him! Chen Li: 是吗,为什么呢? Vicki: Well, when the bill came, he didn't have enough money, so he was very embarrassed. Chen Li: 那他是如何挽回面子的呢? Vicki: Well, I gave him some money without his girlfriend seeing. So he managed to save face. I hope he pays me back soon. Chen Li: 好了,节目时间也差不多了,我们来复习一下吧。 Vicki: To save face.
