【适用场合】

今天我们来一起学习一下这样一个表达，叫做：lock up sth.，字面的意思是“把某个东西锁起来”，If you lock something up in a place or container, you put or hide it there and fasten the lock.

比如说看这两个例子：

eg: Give away any food you have on hand, or lock it up and give the key to the neighbours.

把手头的所有食物都送人，或者锁起来，然后把钥匙给邻居。

在今天这个上下文中，lock up one's feelings其实可以理解成“把某个人的感情封闭起来，隐藏起来”；下面我们来看几个例子：

eg: After his divorce, he locked up his feelings and refused to talk about love.

离婚后，他封闭了自己的情感，拒绝谈论爱情。

eg: As a soldier, she learned to lock up her feelings during missions.

作为一名士兵，她学会了在执行任务时压抑自己的情感。

eg: You can't just lock up your feelings forever—it's not healthy.

你不能永远压抑自己的情感，这样不健康。

eg: I've locked up my feelings because it's the only way I can cope.

我封闭了自己的情感，因为这是我唯一能应对的方式。
