看美剧学英语习语：Rub sth in one's face

91talk

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。
