修改原因
修改前My parents still haven't come in terms with my decision to leave university.
修改后My parents still haven't come to terms with my decision to leave university.
错误来自熟悉的 in terms of，意思是就某方面而言。两个表达看起来相似，但表示接受现实时，come 后面用 to：come to terms with。因此把 in 改成 to。
Come to terms with 和 put up with 都可能被理解成接受，但侧重点不同。Put up with 是忍受持续令人不快的事情：I put up with the noise from the builders。Come to terms with 则是从内心接受难以改变的事，例如失去、诊断结果或搬家。
动手练习

come to terms with — Tom 正在接受无法再踢职业足球这个痛苦现实，因此 come to terms with 更准确。Put up with 常描述忍受反复发生的烦扰，例如噪声或不方便的时间表，不能充分表达这里与失去的梦想和解。
描述一个你或认识的人曾难以接受的变化，例如搬家、换工作或分手。说明变化是什么，以及花了多久才接受。
