下面看下例句:

这里&34;hold your horses&34; means slow down; wait a minute; be patient.也就是慢下来,耐心点的意思。
Origin: This19th- century Americanism originated as an instruction to a carriage driver who was letting his team of horses go too fast. By pulling back on the reins, the driver could slow the horses to a stop. This was called &34;holding the horses.&34; The saying might also have come from harness racing. Rookie drivers often started their horses too soon, and the starter had to yell, &34;Hold your horses!&34; Today the phrase refers to slowing down and being patient in whatever you&39;re doing.
