释义：约束，抑制，控制，规范；路缘(侧石，马路牙子)
The hard thing about learning how to parallel park is trying to get the car close enough to the _curb_ without hitting it. A _curb_ is the edge of the sidewalk beside the road.
When you’re using the word _curb_ as a noun, it’s the raised edging beside a street. When _curb_ is a verb, it means to restrain or hold back, like when you curb your impulse to laugh while watching a badly acted play. _Curb_ comes from the Latin word for “curve,” _curvus_, which describes the shape of a restraining strap on a horse’s head — in the fifteenth century, this band was called a curb.
