■stand


这个不及物动词，作“站立”解，主要是表示延续性的状态（第一类动词）；但是偶尔也可以表示瞬时的动作（第四类动词）。


1. stand表示延续性状态，可以用现在或一般过去时，也可以用现在或过去进行时。区别同sit类似，在于究竟是从外部概括的角度看待stand这个状态，还是就具体场合内部注意stand的延续状态。如果是前者，就用一般时；如果是后者，就用进行时。前者【例如】We stood fixed to the spot for an hour. 我们固定站在那个地点，站了一个钟头。/ I decided to stand at the back of the hall. 我决定站在大厅的后部。Stand的状态是长期固定的，还是仅仅延续一时（但是时间多长不明确）的，时态使用就有所区别。城镇、建筑物或是有一定高度的固定物品“在”何处，这个“在”就用stand的一般现在或一般过去时（高度较低的或是面积较大的不用stand而用lie）。【例如】London stands on the Thames. 伦敦位于泰晤士河畔。/ In the middle of the town stands a splendid Victorian building. 市镇中心有一座华丽的维多利亚式建筑。/ An old piano stood in the corner of the room. 大厅的角落有一架旧钢琴。/ A bench stood in the shade of the tree. 树荫底下有一张长椅子。如果只是就具体场合注意到stand的延续状态，就用进行时态。【例如】She was standing at the bus stop. 她站在公共汽车站。/ The Sphinx stands by the Nile. 狮身人面像斯芬克斯竖立在尼罗河畔。 / Mr. Smith is standing by the Nile.史密斯先生站在尼罗河畔。物品如果是暂时竖立在某地点的，也用进行时态。【例如】A stick was standing against the wall. 墙边靠着一支手杖。


2. stand表示瞬时动作（第四类动词，站起来），通常要有副词up。【例如】I put down my glass and stood up. 我放下杯子，站了起来。但是也可以不加up。【例如】The judge asked us all to stand. 法官请我们全体起立。/ I stood to go to the car. 我站了起来，向车子走过去。/ He stood at the door and coughed, and when this brought no result, he called softly. 他站到门前，咳了一声，没有动静，就轻轻地叫唤一下。


3. stand这个动词的意义很广，往往取决于前后文或具体语境。例如：Let it stand.可以是校对时的“保持原文不动。”也可以是逐段逐句审议法案时的“这一段（或句）可以通过。”也可以是刚刚沏了茶后“让它泡一会儿出味道。”


4. stand by（by是副词）有两个不同的意义。一个是负面的，意思是“袖手旁观”、“隔岸观火”。【例如】People just stood by and did nothing. 人们只是袖手旁观，毫无作为。另一个则是正面的，意思是“随时准备好”甚至“枕戈待旦”。【例如】Stand by for take-off! 准备随时起飞！/ Please stand by for an important announcement. 请随时准备听取重要通知。/ They added they had been asked to stand by in case their help was needed. (The Associated Press, Aug. 22, 2008) 他们还说，他们被吩咐随时要准备好，以备要他们帮忙。


另外，如果stand by的by是个介词，这个短语的意思就是“坚守”。【例如】I stand by what I said. 我说过的话是算数的。

stand, attitude, policy, position, posture:

These words are comparable when they indicate a point of view or conviction about a practical matter, usually one expressed in words. Stand and position both refer to definite, expressed convictions about single issues that are the focal points of disagreement, debate or controversy. Stand often implies an emotional commitment, although it does not exclude intellectual or rational grounds for one’s feeling: to take a strong stand in favour of amending the abortion law. Position implies a more dispassionate and restrained attitude, often one decided upon after lengthy deliberation. [My position on civil liberties is sell known; He took the position that salvation depended upon good deeds as well as piety.]

Policy implies a definite structure of decisions and programme for action based on an assessment of one’s needs, interests, goals or principles: The United States government follows a policy of containing Communism in South-East Asia. In less formal contexts policy may mean any general rule of conduct: It’s a bad policy to lend money to friends. Posture in recent years has come to mean policy in a formal sense: the defence posture of ANZUS. But posture may indicate also the actual disposition of forces: a military posture that embraced the deployment of intercontinental ballistic missiles at key places on the periphery of the Soviet Union. In its several implications, posture may include also the sense of attitude. Attitude is a more general term than the others here considered, and indicates a personal or institutional feeling, often unexpressed and vague in nature. In this it is at the other pole from policy, which represents a clearly formulated and precise enunciation of one’s view: The sympathetic attitude of the Cuban government to rebels in South and Central America has evolved, it is charged, into a policy of abetting and possibly fomenting insurrection in Latin American countries. Posture is therefore useful in suggesting a hardening of attitude without going so far as to imply a firm policy: the neutral posture of Britain in the Vietnam war; the belligerent posture of India towards the Chinese resulting from violent and unresolved border disputes.
