　　Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

　　你要重新振作起來(lái)啊!

　　pull oneself up by one's own bootstraps直譯過(guò)來(lái)就是：“通過(guò)自己的靴帶站起身來(lái)”，這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的正確意思是：“不依靠他人，經(jīng)過(guò)自己的努力來(lái)改善不良的處境”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"Pull yourself up by yourbootstraps."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"Cheer up by your own strength."、"Pull yourselftogether."、"Get rid of the bad state by your own struggle."
