💡专业提示

区分'still'和'quiet'

'still'强调身体动作的静止(no movement),而'quiet'强调声音的安静(no noise)。例如:'Stay still during the X-ray'(X光检查时保持不动),'Be quiet in the library'(图书馆要安静)。

⚡黄金法则

使用场景

本短语通常用于需要精确操作或测量的场景,如医疗、工程测量、摄影等。避免在日常对话中滥用,否则可能显得过于正式或生硬。

📖词源

组合词,由动词'try'(尝试)+ 不定式'to stay'(保持)+ 副词'still'(静止地)构成。整体用于指示他人在特定情况下保持静止状态。

📝用法说明

1. 常用于指示他人在特定场景(如医疗检查、拍照、测量等)中保持静止,避免动作影响结果。 2. 在口语中有时会省略'try',直接说'stay still'(e.g., 'Stay still while I take your photo.')。 3. 语气较为温和,适用于成人对成人或成人对儿童的指令。
