定义
to settle for: 将就，勉强同意
If there aren't any restaurants open, then I'll settle for fast food. 如果没有开着的餐馆了，那我就吃快餐。
示例
- "or Las Vegas, but I'd settle for something a little closer to home if the budget won't budge."
练习 1

"I'd settle for something a little closer to home". = "I'd accept something a little closer to home".

Here Philip uses the expression to express that although he would prefer to go to Los Angeles or Las Vegas, he accept going somewhere closer to home.
