英语短语"confront difficulties"的核心含义是“面对/正视困难”,强调主动、不逃避地直面问题或挑战,带有“勇敢应对”的隐含态度(区别于单纯的“face difficulties”,后者更中性,而“confront”更突出“主动对抗”的意味)。
confront:及物动词,意为“面对;正视;对抗”(to deal with a difficult situation or person directly and openly);
difficulties:名词复数,意为“困难;难题”(problems that cause trouble or make something hard to do)。
组合后,"confront difficulties"指主动站出来面对(而非逃避)遇到的困难,常隐含“需要勇气或决心”的语境。
"confront difficulties"是动宾结构(及物动词+宾语),用法灵活,可作句子的谓语,常见搭配如下:
直接描述“某人面对困难”,主语通常是人或团体。
We must confront difficulties instead of running away from them.(我们必须面对困难,而不是逃避。)

可在“confront”前加副词(如bravely、calmly),或在“difficulties”前加形容词(如major、unexpected),突出“面对困难的态度/困难的性质”。
