【适用场合】
今天我们来学习这样一个短语的用法，to someone’s face，当着某个人的面（通常是说一些不太好听的话）；
If you say something unpleasant to someone's face, you say it to them directly, when you are together.

eg: If you've got something to say, say it to my face.
如果你有话要说，当我面说就行。

eg: I know he’s lying, and I’ll tell him so to his face.
我知道他在撒谎，我会当面揭穿他的。

eg: Hey, if you've got a problem with me, tell me to my face instead of complaining about me to everyone else at work.
嘿，你如果对我有意见的话，直接当我面说啊，不要在我背后跟其他每一个同事抱怨。
