General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / private letter | | English term or phrase: be in the face of s.o. | As I walked into the room, X was talking to her lawyer. The lawyer seemed **to be in X's face** and it looked like she was trying to convince X of something.
Kein weiterer Kontext - Auszug aus einem Brief.
Gibt es für den Ausdruck in ** irgendeine gute deutsche Entsprechung (... schaute sie eindringlich an, o.ä.)? |
