2. 擤……擤鼻涕 blow one's nose
但“blow one's nose”及“擤鼻涕”的整體動作，如是有條不紊地一步一個(gè)腳印地作分解性描述，則是：
3. Billy cleared each nostril by holding its mate closed with his forefinger and blowing fiercely.
                                                                                        —J. Steibeck
由于沒有釆取主動擤鼻涕或雖擤了鼻涕，還需打掃戰(zhàn)場，那就得“擦鼻涕”了，其分解譯法，則見于下例：
4. He rubbed the wet off the end of his nose with the back of his hand。
                                                                                         —H. E- Bates.
上列兩例，特別是例3，其描述擤鼻涕的典型情境可謂淋離盡致矣——淋漓盡致地負(fù)文明也。
