place a hold意思
What does "place a hold on your student account" actually mean?
My housing staff is gonna fine me becasue of the uncleaned bedroom.If I don't pay the charge on time, they will place a hold on my account.
Does that mean I can remove the hold whenever I repay the charge even after the due day?
Thank you.

"暂时冻结你的学生帐户"实际上是什么意思?
我的宿管员要罚我钱,因为卧室没有打扫.如果我不及时付罚款的话,他们会暂时冻结我的帐户.
那是不是意味着,任何时候,哪怕是到期那天之后,只要我付了罚款,我就可以解冻我的帐户?

一般来讲,A “hold” means that the bank will not release a certain amount of the funds to you for a specific period of time.比如,银行收到一张大额支票,它就可能会place a hold,暂时的延期或者冻结,因为它可能考虑到金额太大或者有点可疑.
这里,place a hold显然是如果你不交罚金,你就暂时用不了你的学生帐户的意思,也就是暂时冻结了你的帐户.(hold如果直译的话,就是延期,这里意译为暂时冻结)
