中国人很能吃苦 !! 中国人很能吃苦!! This phrase according to my book means: "chinese people can endure a lot of hardships". Is this correct? 对不对？ I don't understand, because here we have the verb 吃, which means "to eat"? 多谢

沒錯！我覺得中國人真的很能吃苦！但同時我覺得中國人也要心胸寬廣點，多享受點生活！

Chinese use 吃 for a lot of things, not only for food. eg. 吃醋 jealousy for your lover 吃亏 at a disadvantage, in an unfavorable situation, suffer losses
