核心句型：
You can't buck 1 the system.
你无法抗拒整个制度。
buck the system直译过来就是：“用羊角顶撞制度”，这个短语的正确意思是：“反对、抗拒某种制度。”因此，当美国人说"You can't buck the system."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"You have to obey the rule."、"You can't fight against the usual practice."。
情景对白：
Benjamin: Steven was promoted only because he came to this company earlier than me.
本杰明：史蒂文升职了，就因为他比我早进这家公司！
Terry: You can do nothing but accept it. You can't buck the system.
泰瑞：这也是没办法的事，你只能接受了，你无法抗拒这个制度。
搭配句积累：
