man up
女汉纸Max天不怕地不怕,就怕房东和债主。这一天,夺命追债call还是打来了。该面对的总是要面对,Max缴械投降说:“I've got to man up and face it.”
此处have got to相当于have to,表示“不得不”,有被逼无奈的意味。Man up指“to adopt a stereotypically masculine approach or course of action(采取典型的男子的行为方式)”,说白了即“拿出男人的样子、爷们儿点”。

且看例句,Ted imposed the bet on everyone, yet he was the first one to fail. Ted must now man up and face his own challenge. 泰德强迫每个人打赌,不料这个倒霉蛋自己先中招了,现在他得拿出男人的样子来面对自己的挑战,必须的!
在一个男生阴柔化、妹纸雄性化的诡异时代,Girls, you need to man up and do the right thing. And men, you've got to man up and be a man!
