straight做形容詞解釋時(shí)，是“直的，筆直的；正直的；整齊的”等意思，keep a straight face字面意思就是“保持一張直直的臉”，說(shuō)明臉很僵硬，沒(méi)有表情，所以本意就是“板著臉；忍著不笑”，嚴(yán)肅臉。
【例句】
How Henry managed to keep a straight face, I'll never know.
亨利怎么能一本正經(jīng)地板著面孔，我永遠(yuǎn)也不會(huì)明白。
It was difficult to keep a straight face when he fell over the dog.
當(dāng)他絆著狗摔了一跤時(shí)，大家很難扳著臉不笑。
