- 1自制的；自我克制的（情緒、行為收得住——是自己按住，不是被別人管住）
When you are self-controlled, you can keep your feelings and what you do next in check, even when you are very angry, , scared, or hungry. The feeling is still there; you just do not let it drive the next move. People praise a child as self-controlled for waiting their turn, and an adult for staying calm in a fight or not spending money the moment they have it. It is a describing word, a little formal — teachers, parents, and advice books like it — not street slang. You can use it for one moment (she stayed self-controlled on stage) or for a kind of person (he is very self-controlled). Though actually, it is not the same as having no feelings, and it is not the same as being controlled by a parent or a boss. The holding-back comes from you. Some people stretch it to mean cold or stiff, as if showing nothing were always a virtue; that is a stretch, and not always kind. The matching noun is self-control.
From the word’s history
self- + controlled.
由 self- 和 controlled 組成。
組成From self- + controlled. Self- is from Old English self, “one’s own person,” going back through Germanic *selbaz; controlled is from control: held in check.
