Repress is less frequent and more formal than suppress. Suppress is used more often to describe a deliberate effort to prevent your feelings being seen by other people; repress is a slightly stronger word, often suggesting that you do not want your inner feelings to be expressed at all, even to yourself. 与suppress相比,repress较少用,也较正式。suppress更常指故意掩饰自己的感情不让别人看出来;repress语气稍强,常意味着根本不想表露自己的内心感情,甚至对自己也是这样。■ ˌhold sth ˈback phrasal verb (held, held)to stop yourself expressing how you really feel, especially through laughing or crying 抑制,控制(尤指大笑、哭等);不露声色◆He bravely held back his tears.他勇敢地忍住了自己的眼泪。◆At times he could barely hold back his impatience.有时候他几乎无法控制自己的不耐烦。■ check [transitive] (written) to suddenly stop yourself from saying or doing sth or from showing an emotion 克制,抑制(说某事、做某事或表露感情)◆She wanted to tell him the whole truth but she checked herself.她本想告诉他全部真相,但又忍住了。◆She made no effort to check her tears and just let them run down her face.她没有克制自己的眼泪,听凭它们顺着脸颊往下流。■ curb [transitive] to keep an aspect of your personality under control, especially a bad one or one that is considered bad 控制,抑制,约束(尤指不好的性格)◆He needs to learn to curb his temper.他需要学会控制自己的脾气。◆She has to curb her natural exuberance.她只得抑制住自己热情洋溢的性格。 |
