Actually it is very difficult for us to understand the meaning of the phrase from the words that make up it. In the first place, shackles in English refer more often to the sense of constraints or limitations, while in Chinese we will automatically associate it with criminal acts. Then self-consciousness will often be misinterpreted as ones opinions or ideas of oneself if we dont look it up in the dictionary. Actually, this word means worries or lack of confidence in oneself. In this regard, the actual meaning should not be derived from the very literal meaning of its constituent words. Rather, we should consider the meaning of the phrase as a whole unit. The best translation of it should be something like “缺乏自信的束缚.”四、作业答案I、1.
