主動迎上去（動詞）
把形容詞裡那個「走過去」的動作單獨拿出來當動詞用：受詞就是那個讓人不想面對的東西。
face something difficult · verb · B1
To face and deal with something difficult, dangerous, or unpleasant, even though you would rather not.
冒著；勇敢面對
核心畫面
Picture someone who can see exactly what is about the situation and walks towards it anyway. The fear is not missing — that is the point. From that one picture English gets an adjective (the person), a verb (the walking towards), and a handful of fixed phrases where the word is doing something more sideways.
可以想成：一個人清清楚楚看見眼前有什麼可怕的地方，然後還是往那邊走過去。害怕並沒有消失——那正是重點：不怕的人不叫勇…更多收起
可以想成：一個人清清楚楚看見眼前有什麼可怕的地方，然後還是往那邊走過去。害怕並沒有消失——那正是重點：不怕的人不叫勇敢。從這一個畫面出發，英文長出形容詞（那個人）、動詞（走過去這個動作），還有幾個把這個字用得比較拐彎的固定說法。From the picture
對努力的讚許
從人的品格移到成果的評價：能在艱難的條件下做出這樣的東西，本身就值得稱讚。
impressively good effort · adjective · B1
Very good, especially describing a strong effort in a hard situation.
出色的；了不起的
兩個固定說法
這兩個意思都黏在特定的片語上，單獨的 brave 不會有這些意思。
put on a brave face · adjective · B1
Pretending that you feel happy or fine when you are really upset, as in 'put on a brave face'.
強顏歡笑
舊時對原住民戰士的稱呼
名詞用法，把「勇敢」直接拿來當人的稱呼；這是舊時的說法，現在的英文已經不這樣用了。
Native American warrior · noun · B1
A young man who fights for his Native American tribe.
(北美原住民)勇士
Also in this word
fearless in danger · adjective · B1
Ready to face danger, pain, or hard situations without being stopped by fear.
勇敢的
the brave (group) · adjective · B1
Brave people, thought of together as a group (used with 'the').
