learn from one's mistakes and accept the consequences? Explanation: This is a total shot in the dark. My native Danish wife has never heard the expression and thinks it may be a typo, but I wonder does it correspond to the English language expression to "adhere to a prescribed diet", "swallow a bitter pill", "take one's medicine", i.e. learn from one's mistakes and accept the consequences? |

pay the price Explanation: It seems to me that it simply means "pay the price" - and what that means exactly depends upon the particular context -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days19 hrs (2016-02-07 16:30:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In this case, I would think that it means "of the charges incurred" |
