JLPT N2Idioms
鼻が高い
- Meaning
- 誇らしい気持ちで自慢できる
- Explanation
- 「鼻が高い」 expresses a feeling of being proud and wanting to boast. c2 「自慢気な振る舞い」 is a rephrasing that refers to the attitude itself, which is slightly off from the original meaning of expressing an emotion. c3 is the literal state of the nose and is incorrect.
Original Japanese explanation
「鼻が高い」は、誇らしくて自慢したい気持ちを表します。c2「自慢気な振る舞い」は態度そのものを指す言い換えで、感情を表す本来の意味とは少しずれます。c3は字義どおりの鼻の状態で誤りです。
