When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to go to face the music.” It doesn’t mean he is planning to go to a concert. It is  36  less pleasant, like  37 in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you did not do this  38  that. Terrible music, indeed, but it has to 39  . At some time or  40  , every one of us has had to “face the music”, especially as children. We can all remember father’s  41 voice, “I want to talk to you!” and only  42  we did not obey  him. What an unpleasant business it   43 !
The phrase “to face the music” is known  44  every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. Where did the  45 come from?
The first  46  comes from American novelist James Fennimore Cooper. He said, in 1851,  47 the expression was first  48  by actors while waiting in the  49 to go on stage. After they got their clue (暗示) to go on, they often said, “It’s time to go to face the music.” And this is  50  what they did face — the orchestra (管弦樂(lè)隊(duì)) which was just below the stage.
An actor might be frightened or  51  as he moved on to the stage in front of him. The audience might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially  52 he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So, “to face the music”  53  to mean: having to go  54 something, no matter how unpleasant the 55  might be, because you knew you had no choice.
