今天我们来学习一下repress这个动词的用法，当它跟feeling连起来使用的时候，经常可以用于表达：“压抑情感”这样的意思；

所以repress one's feelings可以理解成：“压抑某个人的情绪，不表现出来”；

to try not to have or show an emotion, a feeling, etc.

eg: People who repress their emotions risk having nightmares.

那些压抑自己情绪的人，晚上会有可能做噩梦。

eg: He always represses his feelings of anger, which makes him very stressed.

eg: It's not healthy to repress your feelings for a long time. Talking to someone can help.

长期压抑你的情绪是不健康的，和别人聊聊天会有些帮助。

eg: Many people repress their true feelings to avoid conflict with others.

许多人压抑自己真实的感受以避免和他人发生冲突。

当然，日常生活中这个短语当中的feeling我们也可以用具体的表示情绪的名词来替换，比如说看这几个例子：

eg: He burst in, making no effort to repress his fury.

他冲了进来，丝毫没有克制自己的怒火。

eg: I couldn't repress my curiosity.
