poker-faced

形容一个人表情刻意保持平静，让别人看不出自己的真实情绪或意图。

💡 记忆钩子

想象牌桌上拿到好牌却把脸绷住：不让对手看出喜悦，也不让人看出失望。这个“像打扑克时一样不露声色”的核心，就延伸为在任何场合都保持扑克脸。

📝 学习建议

不要把它只理解为“面无表情”或“冷漠”；重点是有意隐藏情绪和意图。可先记住它描述人的表情或表现，再理解它也能表示在某种场合保持这种表情。

📖 中文释义

adj

core 不露声色的；扑克脸的

📖 指一个人刻意保持平静的面部表情，让别人看不出他是高兴、失望、紧张，还是另有打算；核心画面就是牌桌上不让对手看出自己手里的牌。

💡 常用模式是“remain/stay poker-faced”或“give a poker-faced explanation”，表示在说话或面对意外时仍不露情绪。它是形容词，不等于单纯的“没有表情”，因为说话者通常强调这种平静是为了隐藏真实反应。不要用它泛指性格冷淡；它更常描述某一时刻的表情或表现。

She stayed poker-faced while everyone else burst out laughing.

其他人都笑了起来，她却始终绷着脸，不露声色。

He gave a poker-faced answer, so we could not tell whether he was joking.

他面无表情地回答，弄得我们看不出他是不是在开玩笑。
