💡专业提示

避免误用场景

该短语仅表示物理静止,不可用于抽象概念(如情绪静止)。例如不应说'His anger stood still',应改为'His anger subsided'(愤怒平息)。

⚡黄金法则

时态与语态

通常使用现在进行时(are standing still)或一般现在时(stand still)表达持续状态。被动语态罕见,如'The car was stood still by the driver'较为不自然。

📖词源

由动词'stand'(站立)和副词'still'(静止)组成。'stand'源自古英语'standan'(站立),'still'源自古英语'stille'(静止的)。该短语在中世纪英语中已出现,最初用于描述物理静止状态。

📝用法说明

常用于描述人或物体在特定时刻停止运动,强调状态而非动作。可用于正式或非正式场合,如体育比赛、仪式或日常描述。
