'Come to grips with' có nghĩa là trực diện và hiểu thấu một vấn đề.

Ví dụ
On September 11, 2001, three planes were overtaken by terrorists (quân khủng bố). Their dramatic crashes into buildings resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 people. In some ways (về một phương diện nào đó), Americans have come to grips with (thấu hiểu) how that day changed the country forever. But it remains a difficult experience for many to deal with.

George had always held a low opinion (không coi trọng) of immigrants (người di dân). One day he was driving to work when a truck hit his car and knocked him unconscious (bất tỉnh). He awoke to find that he’d been rescued (được cứu) by a woman who’d grown up in Mexico. That’s when he came to grips with (đương đầu với) his prejudice (thành kiến). It was time to face his dislike of people he didn’t really know.
