　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The Nose on Your Face

The human nose gives to the languages of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character.

In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up one's nose expresses a basic human feeling pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places.

　　The phrase, to be led around by the nose , shows man's weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct (直觉、本能) guide him.

For the human emotion of rejection, the phrase to have one's nose put out of joint(接头) is very descriptive. The expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.
