小知识
If you abstain from something, you restrain yourself from consuming it. People usually abstain from things that are considered vices — like eating French fries every day for lunch.
Roots of the word abstain are from the 14th-century French, “to withhold oneself,” and the word often refers to people who hold themselves back from indulging in habits that are bad for them, physically or morally. Abstain can also mean to withhold a vote, and sometimes a difficult decision is stalled when government representatives abstain from voting one way or another.

单词辨析
v.(动词)abstain，forbear，refrain
这组词的共同意思是自觉地控制自己不做那些由于愿望或冲动而想做的事。其区别是refrain仅指动作未做；forbear强调自我约束性，即由于耐心、善良、宽厚、谨慎或禁欲主义思想等原因而自我克制；abstain则除强调自我约束性外，还含有自我否定的意味。
