hold back~
Many women still feel that they are being held back by a male culture. 许多女性仍然认为自己被男性文化所阻碍。
注释:
▌1. hold可表示“握住,使……不动”,如果你想做某事却被held back,即被“阻挡、阻止”,hold something back即令某事无法发生。
To hold someone or something back means to prevent someone from doing something, or to prevent something from happening. ▌2. 如果你是出于主观意愿而hold back,说明一些原因让你感到“犹豫”、想要“退缩”;如果你有事情不想说,你可以hold it back,即“隐瞒”;而如果你有东西不想用,也可以hold it back,即“储存,保留”;感到沮丧或高兴却不想表现出来,此时hold back即指“抑制,忍住”。 举几个例子:
●2.1 The school had several reasons for holding back. 学校因为几个原因而犹豫不决。 ●2.2 You seem to be holding something back. 你好像隐瞒了点什么。 ●2.3 Farmers apparently hold back produce in the hope that prices will rise. 农民囤积农产品显然是希望价格能够上涨。
