❶ 面对面用刀枪厮杀，即肉搏战，例攻城战非常激烈，入城部队已与敌人短兵相接，逐巷争战。

The battle for the city was very fierce．The incoming troops went from street to street and were engaged with hand-tohand fighting．

❷ 比喻面对面进行针锋相对的论战，例辩论会上已展开短兵相接的舌战，谁胜谁负，尚待听众表决。

The debating meeting is now engaged in a heated argument and a vote by the audience will decide which side is the victor．
