'Set your face against' nghĩa là phản đối một cách mạnh mẽ, không tán thành chuyện gì.
Ví dụ
Have you ever set your face against a book? This year sees Charlotte Brontë’s bicentenary (dịp kỉ niệm hai trăm năm một lần) and the novelist Tracy Chevalier has edited a short-story anthology (hợp tuyển) each based on the climactic line (theo phép tiến dần) of Jane Eyre— ‘Reader, I married him.’ Everyone knows it. I agreed like a shot because the brief fitted something I had been mulling (ngẫm nghĩ) for a while, and yesterday the handsome finished volume arrived. In the notes about contributors (người đóng góp), it says: ‘Susan Hill has never read Jane Eyre.’
If you have set your face against traditional MPV-style seven-seaters, such as the 5008's sister car, the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso, the Ford S-Max, Seat Alhambara and Renault Grand Scenic, then there are other SUV three-rowers competing for your family cash.
Mr Osborne said: “If (Labour) had another leader they would be crushing the Conservatives. It’s only because people have reservations (dè dặt) about Jeremy Corbyn that we’re (the Conservative Party) still in with a chance.” He also criticised (chỉ trích) the Conservatives’ “audacious (gan, táo bạo, trơ tráo) play” in last year’s general election for “constituencies we had never held before” at the expense of traditional urban seats, such as Kensington and Oxford. He said: “If you set your face against metropolitan England, don’t be surprised when metropolitan (nước mẹ, mẫu quốc) England has reservations about you.”
