English term or phrase: keep a stiff upper lip
"A person who is said to have a stiff upper lip displays fortitude and stoicism in the face of adversity or exercises great self-restraint in the expression of emotion.[1][2] The phrase is most commonly heard as part of the idiom "keep a stiff upper lip", and has traditionally been used to describe an attribute of British people in remaining resolute and unemotional when faced with adversity.[1] A sign of fear is trembling of the upper lip, hence the saying keep a "stiff" upper lip." (Wikipedia)

Encontrei esta tradução ("não deixar transparecer as amoções") no bab.la, mas me parece incompleta. Penso que não traduz a ideia de fortaleza e estoicismo. O que vocês sugerem?

A trad. é para PT-Br.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Muito bom. Para ter sentido completo, a definição 2 da Infopédia também tem que ser considerada. No sentido 2, o termo é sinônimo de "estoico". Valeu, Cláudio.

Ser impassível


Explanation:
Segundo o Caudas Aulete:

2. Que não demonstra emoção; IMPERTURBÁVEL; SERENO: Ficou impassível diante do assaltante. [ Antôn.: perturbado. ]

Segundo o Michaellis:

2 Que é incapaz de se emocionar; calmo, imperturbável, sereno: “[…] ele não se abalaria; podiam lançar-lhe em rosto as ofensas que entendessem porque ele se conservaria impassível” (AA2).
