Swallow是吞咽，pride是骄傲。从字面上看，swallow one's pride，意思是吞下自己的骄傲，引伸为放下自尊，忍气吞声。
双语例句：
Chef Roberto has received almost every honor for his Italian cooking. Yet, despite his years of experience, he accidentally cut his finger on live television last week. He could have pretended that nothing had happened. Instead he swallowed his pride, joking that even he makes mistakes from time to time.
罗伯特厨师凭借一手意大利厨艺，几乎赢过所有烹调比赛。尽管他有如此丰富的经验，上星期还是不小心在电视上切破了手指。他本来可以装得若无其事，可他没有这样做，而是放下自尊心，开玩笑说，就连他，也会时不时犯点儿错误。
