看美剧学英语习语：Rub sth in one's face
Rub something in one’s face：a. It means to inform someone or remind someone that you are superior to him or more fortunate than him in a way that is excessive to the point of rudeness. That is, you are not just pointing out your advantage, but emphasizing it in a way calculated to embarass the other person or build yourself up. { 反复讲别人不愿听的事、 在别人面前不停炫耀（某种优势或强项）}；b. to keep reminding somebody of what they have done wrong.（唠叨他人的不对）中文释义：首先我们来看下“Rub”这个词的英文定义：To move (one thing) back and forth (aginst another); 翻译成中文：将一样东西来回不停地对着另一物件移动，所以就有了摩擦的意思，那么针对的不是物件，而是人呢？那就是在某个人面前来回不停地移动某件东西，可想而知：就是炫耀了。
