英语日常口语：面对面交流

 　　面对面的交流就是 face to face，许多人认为这样的沟通效果和电话上或网上联系是不一样的。

　　例句

　　I've been in touch with my niece, who was born in South America, for years but we have never met face to face.

　　One way of overcoming my fear of dogs is to come face to face with them!

　　It must have been difficult for you to go to court and stand face to face with the man who stole your wallet!

　　请注意

　　大家可千万别把 face to face 和 head-to-head 这两个表达给混淆了。如果双方处于直接对峙状态我们就可以用 head-to-head 来形容这种情况。

　　The teams representing¹ the best schools in the country will go head-to-head this weekend in the national spelling contest.
