笔记本音频驱动:I must face the music是我必须承担责任的意思吗?
Ameircan English?
face the music是美国俚语,但这个理解不算太贴切.
更确切的解释是"不得不接受惩罚、承担后果".比如对方失误做错某事,就必须面对承担后果,是无可奈何的"硬着头皮上".另外还有"不得不听训诫"的意思.如果听某同事说:"Well, the boss calls me to his office. I just go to face the music",就是说他要去办公室听老板训话了.
Yes.
是“勇于承担责任, 临危不惧”的意思。
face the music 不完全是“承担责任”的意思,而是面对自己行为引起的,不愉快或不好后果。见下面的解释:
face the music
Confront unpleasantness, especially the consequences of one's errors. For example, When the check bounced, he had to face the music.
The precise allusion in this expression has been lost. Most authorities believe it refers to a theater's pit orchestra, which an actor must face when he faces what can be a hostile audience, but some hold it comes from the military, where a formal dismissal in disgrace would be accompanied by band music.
