Today’s Word: bite the bullet

☆  bite the bullet  歯を食いしばって頑張る

============================

“Bite the bullet” is often used in journalism; news reports, newspapers, magazines and so on. For example, if a company is not doing many sales, the news report might say, “The XYZ company may be forced to bite the bullet and cut prices.”

However, you can also use it to describe your own situation – when you accept that you have to do something that is unpleasant and you don’t want to do it, but you realize that it is necessary. For example, if you have an English examination coming up and you have started studying, then you could say, “It’s time to bite the bullet and start studying for my exam!”
