The bravest mother

台北四歲女童遭斬首命案，很多人連新聞也不敢細看。女童的母親卻勇敢（brave）面對社會大眾，不僅說出事件經過，更呼籲政府別再讓這種隨機殺人事件發生。

Brave是形容詞，解「勇敢的」。加個字尾，就可以變成名詞bravery（勇敢、勇氣）。

Brave其中兩常用的句式是：It is brave of someone（to do something）（某人做某事情是勇敢的）和be brave enough to do something（敢於做某事情）。例句：It is very brave of the mother to speak in front of the public right after her girl's death.（女童去世後，其母親隨即面對公眾說話，非常勇敢。）No one is brave enough to tell him the sad truth.（沒有人敢向他說出可悲的真相。）

Put on a brave face或者put a brave face on something也很常用，指人「強裝勇敢、硬着頭皮做某事情，心裏其實非常不安」。例句：I tried to put on a brave face and showed him that I wasn't worried about his illness.（我試圖裝作勇敢，讓他以為我不擔心他的病情。）You don't need to put a brave face on everything.（你不需要所有事情都硬着頭皮做。）
