傅雷的这句翻译怎么理解？

energy118

All come determined to be happy, with the kind of grim
resolve with which one determines not to make a fuss at the dentist's.

大家来时都打定了主意要寻欢作乐，仿佛咬紧牙齿，决意不要在牙医生那里大惊小怪一般。

这里的fuss是什么意思？

2

我觉得在这句话中fuss的意思还是比较明确的，正如2楼帖的辞典中的解释。
感觉我理解错了，

另外，从内容来说我觉得这个帖子应该发到外语学习版。

这种文意理解非得要看原小说后才能理解，有上下文背景辅助才行，突然给出这么一个孤立的句子，让人费解，即使单词都懂也不见得理解，我们在中文小说中单另摘出一句有时也理解不了。

我感到很疑惑的是这个句子的结构，以及这句话真正要表示的意思。
我对这句话是用以下方式理解的：
come在此处起到了与are类似的系动词的作用，“with the kind of grim resolve"作状语，修饰前面的"come determinded"。介词with后面是which引导的宾语从句，同时，这个介词”with“应该是”be happy“的后续。
.......

结构没问题
就是问问对fuss的理解
