Couldn't help:
- to refrain from : avoid <we couldn't help laughing>
- to keep from occurring : prevent <they couldn't help the accident>
- to restrain (oneself) from doing something <knew they shouldn't go but couldn't help themselves>

Another example: I was trying not laugh but couldn't Help myself.
سعی میکردم نخندم اما نمی توانستم جلوی خودم را بگیرم
