表达“have one's nose in a book 鼻子紧贴书本”用来形容“一个人专心致志读书”的样子，和我们 “埋头看书”这个常用搭配的意思相同。

 

另外，表达“have your head buried in a book”和“have your head stuck in a book”也表示同样的意思。我们通常把爱读书的人叫做“bookworm 书虫”。

 

例句

Jenny is a bookworm – she always has her nose in a book.

珍妮是一个书虫，她总在专心看书。

 

I would rather have my nose in a book than playing with other kids outside.

我更喜欢自己埋头读书，而不是和其他小孩一起在外面玩耍。

 

I've been very busy lately. I'd wake up early and have my nose in a book for the rest of the day.

最近我很忙。我起得很早，接着就一头扎进书堆里学习一整天。
