take sth at face value
At face value 的意思是“根据外表,从表面上看”,take sth at face value就是不去想它有没有什么深层意思,就直接接受它表面看起来的意思。
to accept something as it appears to be rather than studying it more closely
仅凭表象对…信以为真
I took the offer at face value. I didn't think they might be trying to trick me.
我对这提议信以为真,并没料到他们可能想要骗我。
