我们老师第一段中的 face-to-face 用得不对,应该去掉连字符,但我查了网上的扫描文件,这里的 face-to-face 确实是有连字符的。想听听专家老师的意见。

你的老师说的是对的,这里的 face-to-face 确实不该用连字符,因为这里是用作定语。

一般说来,带连字符的 face-to-face 主要用于名词前作定语。如:

We’ve never had a face-to-face meeting. 我们从未见过面。

They had a face-to-face argument.他们面对面地吵了一架。

Stewart's stock-in-trade was the face-to-face interview. 斯图尔特惯用的方法是面对面的采访。

若用作表语,原则上应用不带连字符的 face to face。如:

The actors were face to face with real flames. 这些演员眼前是真正的火焰。

She did not slow her stride until she was face to face with us. 她没有放慢脚步,迳直走到我们面前。

用作状语时,通常用不带连字符的 face to face,但有时也用带连字符的face-to-face。如:

I’ve never met her face to face. 我从来没有和她见过面。

We sat face to face across a narrow table. 我们面对面坐在一张窄窄的桌子旁。

She was brought face-to-face with the horrors of war. 她直面了战争的恐怖。

I deal with customers on the phone and rarely meet them face-to-face. 我用电话和客户打交道,很少和他们见面。
