To restrain someone or something is to hold it back or stop it from moving or acting freely. You can restrain a person physically — like guards holding back an angry man — or restrain something inside yourself, like your anger, your laughter, or your spending. The feeling is always: something wants to happen, and you are pulling it back.
克制、抑制（可指用力壓制某人的動作，也可指忍住自己的情緒）
