>>122の"behind my nose"についてググってみたけど
"I got a pain behind my nose"だと、「鼻の奥のほうが痛い」ってことみたいですね
beyondだと、
* He can't see an inch beyond his nose.
一寸先のことさえ見えない、目先が利かない
* can't see beyond the end of one's nose = narrow-minded
なんてあるけど。
ということで、>>122の"Knowing that I'm behind"か"Knowing that I'm behind
my nose"かは前後の文脈がないとわからないような気がしますね。
ところで、以下の文章の"behind one's nose"はどう訳せばいいでしょうか？
One of the fine tributes to liberty is the quotation from Oliver Wendell
Holmes, Sr. -- He was a poet and essayist while his son, OWH, Jr., was
a justice of the Supreme Court: "The right to swing my fist ends where
the other man's nose begins." But so far as resting comfortably in
one's own ideas is concerned, the ignorance behind one's nose may
be a prescription for personal disaster or worse.
ついでみたいですが、よろしくお願いします。
