"Take (one's) lumps" = Chịu đau bởi những cục bướu -> Chấp nhận sự khó khăn, thất bại hoặc những điều xấu xảy ra với mình mà không một lời than trách.
Ví dụ
It was hard-nosed, smashmouth football. You’d beat us, maybe, but you’d always take your lumps.
If I'm NBA commissioner Adam Silver, this is what I'll tell the Rockets: "Put your big boy pants on and take your lumps like grown men.
But it was just something – I mean, freaking out (sốc, sợ hãi) is not going to help you at all, so you might as well try and take your lumps and move on.”.
There's a prevailing (có ưu thế, thịnh hành) thought in sports in general that you must take your lumps before you really learn how to win, especially in the playoffs.
