这是 bridle 的比喻用法,表示‘约束、限制’。

curb 常指外部施加的限制措施,语气较强;bridle 作此义时较正式或具比喻性,日常英语多用 curb。
check 常与 on 连用(a check on sth),强调通过制衡阻止过度行为;bridle 则更直接地指束缚。
restraint 语域较宽,既可指内在克制也可指外在限制;bridle 主要保留在比喻用法中。
brake 常与 on 连用,指抑制过快发展的因素,语气较口语化和形象化;bridle 则较正式。
reins 以复数形式常见,强调掌控或领导权,而 bridle 强调束缚动作本身;二者在比喻义上并不完全对等。

bridle 是可数名词,单数前需要加冠词 a 或 the。汉语没有冠词,所以学习者常漏掉,但英语中必须使用。
针对 bridle 的名词义项“约束;抑制”(a restraint/curb/check)。freedom 是其最直接的反义词,指没有约束或限制的状态;与 bridle 所表示的“勒住、控制”相反。
与 bridle 的“约束;抑制”义项相对,release 强调行为或状态上从束缚、抑制中解脱出来。
bridle 是名词,指套在马头上的马笼头;bridal 是形容词,指新娘的或婚礼的。二者读音几乎相同,但拼写差一个字母,词性和意义完全不同。
bridle 是整套马笼头,包含口衔和缰绳;rein 只是其中控制马的那根缰绳。要表示“拉缰绳”时用 rein,且常用复数 reins;要表示马头上的整套马具时才用 bridle。
