老板对我说
“You will face the music for your own mistake.”
要不是结合当时的语境
小八差点以为face the music是让我去面对音乐了
那小八就跟大家普及一下关于face的用法叭

v. 面朝; 面向; 对付; 接受; 覆盖
关于face的习语
Face the music
这个短语是真实存在的,它和音乐并没多大关系,而是“勇敢地面对困难;接受应得的惩罚”的意思
据说这个用法源于剧场,指的是剧场里的演员无论多紧张或怯场,只要音乐一响起,他们都得面对舞台前方的观众做表演。这个习语也就应运而生了
Someday you're going to have to face the music for your actions.
总有一天,你将不得不承担自己的行为所带来的后果。
A face for radio
这个短语跟声音也没有关系哦,如果大家直译,那就是收音机的脸啦,我们都知道radio 是广播,而广播是用来听的,不用看脸。其实这个短语是婉转地说一个人长相不好看,“其貌不扬”的意思,
To be honest, she's got a face for radio.
老实说,她长得不怎么样。

这个大家可以就根据字面意思来理解,你还有脸了,厚颜无耻地;恬不知耻地
