Traduzione e definizione
to settle for: accontentarsi di
If there aren't any restaurants open, then I'll settle for fast food. It's not my favourite food but I suppose I'll eat it if there's nothing else available. Se non ci sono ristoranti aperti, mi accontenterò del fast food. Non è il mio cibo preferito, ma suppongo che lo mangerò se non c'è nient'altro disponibile.
