stiff upper lip这个词的意思是当你生气时不要表现出你的情绪。所以stiffen up the upper lip意味着不要情绪化或表现出情绪。这句话源于我们生气或哭泣时嘴唇会颤抖的想法,所以如果我们紧紧抓住嘴唇,我们就不会哭泣。示例: I tried to keep a stiff upper lip, but I was so overwhelmed I just broke down. (我试图掩饰自己的感情,但负担过重,我倒下了。) 示例: The teacher shouted at him, but he kept a stiff upper lip. (老师对他大喊大叫,但他没有表现出他的情绪。) 例子: Stiffen up that upper lip. There's no point in crying. (别哭。没什么好哭的。)
