Face the music可不是“面對(duì)音樂(lè)”，真正的意思和你想象得完全不同！

“Music”是我們生活中必不可少的一種聽覺享受，沒(méi)有音樂(lè)，生活在某些時(shí)候會(huì)變得索然無(wú)味。有了音樂(lè)的日子，讓平凡的場(chǎng)景也變得多姿多彩。但是今天學(xué)習(xí)的這個(gè)俚語(yǔ)“Face the music”可不是它字面的意思“面對(duì)音樂(lè)”。這個(gè)俗語(yǔ)真正意思可能讓你完全想象不到。

Meaning:

receive criticism or punishment, accept unpleasant consequences of your actions

接受批評(píng)或懲罰, 承擔(dān)自己行為的后果;

起源：

這個(gè)短語(yǔ)始于美國(guó)19世紀(jì)。據(jù)說(shuō)是來(lái)源于劇場(chǎng)。在舞臺(tái)上，演員經(jīng)常會(huì)由于緊張或怯場(chǎng)而造成忘詞等尷尬的局面，只要音樂(lè)一響，演員就沒(méi)有任何選擇的余地，只能去face the music（必須承受出現(xiàn)的局面）。人們遂用face the music指承擔(dān)自己行為的后果。

Example Sentences:
