Ryan’s Phrase Of The Day: Hold Back

Meaning: Stop yourself from

doing sth, control yourself.

Example (1): “With 双十一, China’s premier shopping day, just around the corner I will try my best to hold back, not spend and save my money as next year will be very expensive for me.”

Example (2): “When we are very angry or short tempered it’s better to hold back than say anything hurtful or aggressive. Actions like that rarely solve problems, actually they make them worse.”

See ya!
