例句
The principal wants to see you in her office. Get ready to bite the bullet.
校長叫你去她辦公室。你就硬著頭皮去吧。
Many word experts think that this expression came from the 19th century medical practice of giving a wounded soldier a bullet to bite before he was operated on without anesthetics on the battlefield. 許多詞彙專家認為這個說法來自19世紀的戰地手術,戰士受傷後,醫生在動手術前會給戰士一顆子彈咬著,在沒有麻醉劑的時候。Biting on the soft lead bullet was the way of dealing with pain. It kept the soldier from screaming, which could distract the surgeon during the operation.咬著軟鉛材質的子彈可以防止因為過於疼痛喊出聲,這樣醫生可以專心手術以免受到幹擾。每個人都必須安裝的英語自學神器
