2019-08-05 come/get to grips wit

英英释义：to make an effort to understand and deal with a problem or situation 

“认真考虑并着手处理”

它一方面强调认识到某事、某问题的重要性，一方面强调开始着手高效解决问题，因此它是个准确、形象的表达，在口语和写作中都可以用到。

特别注意：come/get to grips with 中的 grips 一定是复数形式。 当我们想表示“认识到”“处理”的时候都可以用 come/get to grips with 来替换 realize 和 deal with 这样的词。
