沒有人站出來
兩個意思用的是同一個畫面，差別只在沒有人站出來做什麼：一個是沒人出來反對，一個是沒人出來參選。
adjective · C1
Not argued about by anyone. An uncontested statement, decision or legal case is one that nobody stands up against, so it goes through without a fight.
無人反對的；沒有爭議的
核心畫面
Picture something set down in the middle of a room — a statement, a claim, a seat on a committee. The rule is that anyone who wants to fight for it, or fight against it, must stand up now.

可以想成有樣東西被放在房間中間——一個說法、一項主張，或是一個委員會的位子。規矩是：誰要反對、誰要來搶，現在就得站起…更多收起
可以想成有樣東西被放在房間中間——一個說法、一項主張，或是一個委員會的位子。規矩是：誰要反對、誰要來搶，現在就得站起來。時間過去了，沒有人站起來。沒有人贏，也沒有人吵，東西就留在原地。uncontested 說的正是這一段安靜，而不是「大家都同意」。From the word’s history
The source in this packet gives the make-up simply as un- plus contested. Contest is the standing up to fight or argue; un- removes it, and the picture is what is left.
這份資料寫得很簡單：un- 加 contested。contest 是「站出來爭」這個動作，un- 把它拿掉，剩下的就是上面那個沒有人站起來的畫面。
