Bitter

BITTER CHOCOLATE

Bitter to gorzki.

Tak jak gorzka może być czekolada - BITTER CHOCOLATE, lub pomarańcza - BITTER ORANGE. 

BITTER to gorzki też z metaforycznego punktu widzenia. Taki na przykład zgorzkniały i rozgoryczony starszy człowiek to A BITTER OLD MAN. 

She'd suffered terribly over the years but it hadn't made her bitter. 

Gorzki w znaczeniu bolesny może być też nasz komentarz lub wspomnienia - BITTER COMMENT, BITTER MEMORIES.

BITTER BLOW to bolesny cios

BITTER EXPERIENCE tobolesne doświadczenia

She learnt through bitter experience that he was not to be trusted.

I know from my bitter experience that putting off making important decisions is no good.

(Wiem z bolesnego doświadczenia, że odkładanie podjęcia ważnej decyzji nie jest dobre.)

BITTER ENEMIES to śmiertelni wrogowie

They are bitter enemies.

Są śmiertelnymi wrogami.

Przenikliwy wiatr to nic innego jak BITTER WIND, a przenikliwie zimny to BITTER COLD.

Wrap up warmly - it's bitter cold outside.

Gorzka pigułka do przełknięcia to po angielsku A BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW

BITTERSWEET to słodko-gorzki

BITTER jako rzeczownik to rodzaj bardzo gorzkiego piwa.

Jedna z piosenek wszech czasów (przynajmniej w moim odczuciu ;) z BITTERSWEET w roli głównej, czyli The Verve Bitter Sweet Symphony:

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life

Try to make ends meet

You're a slave to money then you die

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down

You know the one that takes you to the places 

where all the veins meet yeah, 

No change, I can't change

I can't change, I can't change

But I'm here in my mold

I am here in my mold

But I'm a million different people 

from one day to the next

I can't change my mold

No, no, no, no, no

Well I never pray

But tonight I'm on my knees yeah

I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah

I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now

But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can't change

I can't change, I can't change

But I'm here in my mold

I am here in my mold

And I'm a million different people

from one day to the next

I can't change my mold

No, no, no, no, no

I can't change

I can't change

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life

Try to make ends meet

Try to find some money then you die

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down

You know the one that takes you to the places 

where all the things meet yeah 

You know I can't change, I can't change

I can't change, I can't change

But I'm here in my mold

I am here in my mold

And I'm a million different people

from one day to the next

I can't change my mold

No, no, no, no, no

I can't change my mold

no, no, no, no, no,

I can't change

Can't change my body,

no, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down

Been down

Ever been down

Ever been down

Ever been down

Ever been down

Have you ever been down?

Have you've ever been down?
