核心畫面

You can think of standing as the picture inside stand, held still: something is up on its feet and it has not gone anywhere. A person on their feet is standing. Water that has stopped and stayed is standing. An arrangement nobody has taken down is still standing. And where a person stands in a crowd is their standing. Every use in this entry is that same picture, asked about a different thing: is it still up, how long has it been up, and how high is it.

「standing」可以想成 stand 的畫面被按停:東西還立著,而且沒有跑掉。人用兩隻腳立著,是 standin更多收起「standing」可以想成 stand 的畫面被按停:東西還立著,而且沒有跑掉。人用兩隻腳立著,是 standing。水停在那裡不流走,也是 standing。一個沒有人去拆掉的安排,等於還立在那裡。而你在一群人裡站的位置,就是你的 standing。這個字的每個用法,都是同一個畫面換一個東西去問:它還立著嗎、它立了多久、它站得多高。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary records two routes, both from stand. The adjective and the participle come from Middle English standynge / Old English standende, the present participle of standan, that is stand + -ing. The noun comes from Middle English standyng, from an Old English form *standung, also stand + -ing. So the two halves of this entry are the doing-form and the thing-form of the same verb.

維基詞典記了兩條路,但源頭都是 stand。形容詞和分詞來自中古英語 standynge、古英語 standende,也就是 standan 的現在分詞,等於 stand 加 -ing。名詞來自中古英語 standyng、古英語 *standung,同樣是 stand 加 -ing。所以這個詞條的兩半,是同一個動詞的「正在做」和「那件事」兩種形狀。

Three branches

真的站著、真的留在原地

這一族最貼近字面。動作的時候人是站著的,或東西還立在原地沒被移走、沒被砍掉、沒有流走。

adjective · B2

Done while you are on your feet, or begun from a position where you are standing still instead of already moving.

站著做的

安排好就一直立著,不用再架一次

adjective · B2

Set up once and then kept in place for a long time, so that it keeps working or keeps happening without anyone having to arrange it again.

長期固定的

你站在哪個位置

把「立著」從有沒有倒,改成站在哪裡。一群人站成一列,你在第幾個位置,就是你的 standing。

地位/聲望
