A restriction is rule or law that is made by somebody in authority. A constraint is something that exists rather than something that is made, although it may exist as a result of somebody’s decision. A restraint is also something that exists: it can exist outside yourself, as the result of somebody else’s decision; but it can also exist inside you, as a fear of what other people may think or as your own feeling about what is acceptable: moral/​social/​cultural restraints. A limitation is more general and can be a rule that somebody makes or a fact or condition that exists.Patterns

Self-control is an ability that people have as part of their character. You can have self-control and you can keep or lose it on a particular occasion. Restraint is less a part of sb's character and more a matter of their behaviour: you can exercise or show restraint, but it is not sth that you have, keep or lose. * self-control指自控能力，是人性格的一部分。可以说have/keep/lose self-control（有／保持／失去自制力）。restraint不太被视为人的性格，而多与行为有关。可以说exercise/show restraint（发挥／表现出克制），但不能说有、保持或失去restraint◆It took all his restraint not to shout. ◆She struggled to keep her restraint. ■ ˌself-ˈdiscipline [uncountable] the ability to make yourself do sth, especially sth difficult or unpleasant 自律能力；自我约束能力◆It takes a lot of self-discipline to go jogging in winter.在冬天跑步需要很强的自律能力。  see also discipline ⇨ control noun
