You can picture 'stand' as a body held upright on its own feet — straight, balanced, not lying down or falling over. From that one picture everything radiates: a thing standing in a place, a number 'standing' at some level, a person who 'stands firm' and won't be pushed, where you 'stand' on an issue, and the noun for the rack, stall, or stand a person or thing stands on or in.

可以把 stand 的核心想成一個「用自己的腳把身體直直撐起來」的畫面——站著、穩住、不躺也不倒。後面所有用法都從這…更多收起可以把 stand 的核心想成一個「用自己的腳把身體直直撐起來」的畫面——站著、穩住、不躺也不倒。後面所有用法都從這張圖往外長：東西立在某處、數字「站」在某個刻度上、一個人「站穩」不被推倒、你對某事「站」在哪一邊，乃至名詞裡那個讓人或東西站立的架子、攤位、看台。萬變不離「直立、撐住」這四個字。
