　　You can't buck the system.

　　你無法抗拒整個制度。

　　buck the system直譯過來就是：“用羊角頂撞制度”，這個短語的正確意思是：“反對、抗拒某種制度。”因此，當美國人說"You can't buck the system."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"You have to obey therule."、"You can't fight against the usual practice."。

　　Terry: You can do nothing but accept it. You can't buck the system.

　　泰瑞：這也是沒辦法的事，你只能接受了，你無法抗拒這個制度。
