門前払いを受けている expression


> 「ふむ。どうやら宴もたけなわというところだな。こんなところで **門前払いを受けている** 場合ではないぞ、セイバー」

I know the expression:

> 門前払いを喰わせる=To slam the door in one's face

But I can't find anything on this.

I think it means something like:  
To accept an uninvited guest.

My TL:

> It looks like the banquet it's at its peak.  
>  This is not the time to accept an uninvited guest, Saber




門前【もんぜん】払【ばら】い is a fixed noun phrase meaning "turning down without serious
consideration, interview and/or review." There are some variations regarding
the verb choice:

  * **to reject** : 門前払いする・門前払いにする・門前払いを食らわせる
  * **to be rejected** : 門前払いされる・門前払いにされる・門前払いを食らう・門前払いを受ける

This 受ける simply means "to get" as in "get punched," "get ignored," etc.

So 「こんなところで門前払いを受けている場合ではないぞ」 means "You're not supposed to be
rejected/ignored/etc in a place like this."
