bite the bullet

每日一詞---bite the bullet



"咬子彈"乍聽之下十分駭人,但實際上它的意思也和這個差不多啦...就是"咬緊牙關、忍辱負重、硬著頭皮"等等。比如對天天騎50分鐘車上學的我來說,油價漲幅可是人命攸關的啊!但即使再怎麼貴,總不能待在家裡發楞吧!這時,就可以說:Scooter riders are biting the bullet after another rise in petrol prices.

又比如有些時候,即便自己很不願意,還是得為某些錯事低頭道歉。這時,就可以說:We've all experienced unpleasant moments when we had to bite the bullet and apologize for something we did.

或者期中考快到了,相信很多人即使不情願,還是得硬著頭皮讀讀書吧!這時就能說: Though some students don't enjoy studying, they have to bite the bullet when it comes to midterms or finals.
