"settle for" 是指即便不是自己的第一選項,也會接受或同意某東西。例如,想像一下你要去買雞蛋。你想買特定品牌的雞蛋,但店內已經沒貨了。你可以不買、或是無奈接受其他牌子的雞蛋 (即便那不是你原先想要的)。"settle for" 可用於談論商品、人、爭執等。 例句: She settled for a smoothie when they didn't have her favorite ice cream. (當沒有她喜歡的冰淇淋時,她無奈接受冰沙。) 例句: I don't want to settle for someone. I want to be madly in love with the person I am with. (我不想退而求其次地選一個人。我想跟瘋狂愛上的人在一起。) 例句: He had to settle for store credit instead of getting his money back. (他只能無奈接受店家的消費抵用額、而非直接退款。)
