"接受事与愿违"的英文表达是 "accept the reapty of the situation, even if it is not what you want"。这个表达式源自英语中的一个成语 "make the best of a bad situation"，意思是在不理想的情况下尽量做到最好。

I know you were hoping for a promotion, but it looks pke someone else got the job. You have to accept the reapty of the situation and make the best of it.
