APAD: To bite the bullet

Meaning: This expression was originally used to accept impending hardship with

fortitude; but in the modern-day is generally used in lighter terms, such as to

advise someone to do something that they don't particularly want to do.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The proverbial phrase invokes the vivid image of catching an inbound bullet

between the teeth, however impossible. My jaw hurts at the thought.

 

The phrase also reminds me of the Matrix scene toward the end when Neo could

see the traces of the bullets fired at him from the agents and simply

guestured talk-to-the-hand and the lead froze in mid-air. No need to bite!

我不爱吃cheese。可以下定决心，把它当bullet去bite吗？

勉为其难

“硬着头皮”

比“咬牙“还要难一点：）

Sure. Try the Yancey's Fancy jalapěno cheddar first :-)

I agree though it wasn't quite as explicit :-)

造个句： I have to face the challenges and bite the bullet.

Because？

啃硬骨头。 I had to bite the bullet and continue to learn English
