专业提示

Distinguish 'Suspended' vs 'Stopped'

'Suspended' implies a temporary halt with the possibility of resumption (e.g., a suspended game). 'Stopped' is more final or general. Use 'suspended' when the pause is official or conditional.

Legal Precision

In legal writing, 'suspended' specifically refers to the postponement of a penalty or the temporary removal of rights, not just any pause.
