例：

It's not easy, but as a manager, sometimesyou have to bite the bullet and fire people.（解雇别人，自己心里会很难受，但是作为经理，有时候不得不勉强为之。）

''bite the bullet''望文生义就知道这不是什么好差事了。

3. beggars can't be choosers: saidwhen you have to accept something you do not like because you do not have themoney or power to choose anything else

补充：

''beggars can't be choosers''在口语中很常见，我们还可以用它的变化形式。如：

美剧《绝望主妇》S01E02片段：

情境介绍：Edie家着火，所有东西都被烧了。邻居Mrs. Huber帮她去向其他邻居“化布施”，拿些旧衣服什么的。邻居Lynette挑了几件衣服出来给Mrs. Huber，并且抱歉地说“衣服款式比较旧了”。看看Mrs. Huber怎么说：

Edie's a beggar now, which means she can'tbe a chooser. Of course, we don't have to add salt to the wound.（伊迪现在落魄了一无所有，不会东挑西拣的。但是我们也不能给别人伤口上撒盐。）

原来“东挑西拣”的人是Mrs.Huber啊！她还把自己认为款式特难看的一件挑出来。
