On Feb 21. a special Chinese "diplomat (外交官）”. Bao Bao the panda, arrived in China from the United States. Many people in the US found it hard to say goodbye to her and were at the airport to see her leave.

There are so many expressions（表達(dá)）in American English that sound pleasant（令人愉快的）but are not. 【1】When someone says they have to “face the music”,it does not mean they are going to a concert. “Face the music” means to accept and deal with the punishment(懲罰）of an action.

【2】For example,“I can’t face another night of camping! It’s cold and rainy. ” Or “In life，you must face your fears. ”Face used in this way is very common. But now, let’s go back to facing the music. Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I’m away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely（極其）fast car.”【3】You want to show off（炫耀）to some friends. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang!

When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”. “Music” could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.

【4】To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says,“You made your bed. Now lie in it. ” they mean you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results!

A.But you do not listen.

B.“Face the music” is a good example.

C.The “music” here is the result of your actions.

D.Americans often use the word “face” in this way.

E.There are other American expressions that mean the same thing as “face the music”.

A:Hey, Peter! You look tired.【1】 ?

B:I didn’t get enough sleep last night.

A:Were you just doing your homework last night?

B:【2】. Mountains of homework, math, Chinese,English...I didn’t finish it until midnight.

A:Poor guy! No wonder you don’t look well.

B:You know, less sleep is bad for my health.【3】?

A: Sure. Why don’t you make a plan before doing your homework? First things first.

B:【4】.I am going to follow your advice.

A:Um... If you are too busy on weekdays, just relax yourself on weekends.

B.Weekends? I have to take after-school classes at weekends.

A:You do?【5】?

B:Because my parents want me to get into a good high school.

A:Yes, I guess that is the reason. Perhaps you should talk to them and explain that health is the most important.

B:You are right. Thanks for all the good advice.
