释义:
stand by 等待,支持某人
字面含义为站在(stand)旁边(by),表示“等待着什么”或者“站在旁边支持”。表示站在后方支持的 stand behind 也是“支持”的意思。
例句:
There is a beautiful blonde lady standing by the car outside.
外面有个漂亮的金发女郎站在轿车旁边。
I'll stand by you.
我会支持你的。
She's the only one who stood by me in all this.
她是唯一一个能够支持我所有事情的人。
You're my friend and I will try to stand by you through this.
你是我朋友,我会想尽办法帮助你挺过去的。
对话:
A: Are you ready for me to help you?
你准备接受我的帮助了吗?
B: Not yet. Just stand by until we start.
还没呢,稍等一会吧,我们马上开始。
