  开会时同事七嘴八舌，老板一句“你改改方案吧”，你是秒怂还是硬刚？教你一句超带感的美语俗语——stick to your guns，原意“枪不离手”，引申就是“老子立场稳如老狗，谁来都不改”。一句话，让你的态度瞬间支棱起来！

  1. 牛仔基因：为啥是 guns？

  西部片里，牛仔手按枪柄死不退让，后来这句就被拿来形容“死磕立场”。记住：gun 用复数 guns，单数就少了那股狠劲。

  2. 基础用法

  • 老板让降价，我偏不，我stick to my guns。
    The boss asked me to cut the price, but I stuck to my guns.
  • 大家都选A方案，她还是stuck to her guns选B。
    Everyone voted for Plan A, but she still stuck to her guns on Plan B.

  3. 场景升级：职场、感情、砍价

  场景	中文	英文
  职场	董事长坚持投票前听反方意见。	The chairman stuck to his guns and insisted on hearing the other side before voting.
  感情	爸妈反对异地，我仍要嫁。	My parents disapproved, but I stuck to my guns and married him anyway.
  砍价	卖家要加钱，我一分不松。	The seller wanted more cash, but I stuck to my guns at the original price.

  4. 同义替换

  • stand one’s ground（站稳阵地）
    面对质疑，他依旧stood his ground。
  • hold the line（死守底线）
    预算再砍就烂了，咱们得hold the line。
  • not budge an inch（一厘米都不挪）
    谈判四小时，他愣是didn’t budge an inch。

  5. 口语金句：一句多译

  中文：不管他们怎么劝，我都坚持原计划。
  ① No matter how they persuade me, I’ll stick to my guns.
  ② I’ll stand my ground no matter what.
  ③ I won’t budge an inch on the original plan.

  6. 易错提醒

  • stick 过去式 stuck，别写成 sticked。
  • guns 永远复数，表示“双枪”才有气势。
  • 后面常接 on/over/about，别用错介词。

  7. 更多“硬刚”表达

  • dig in one’s heels（脚跟钉死）
    一听说要加班，他立刻dug in his heels。
  • double down（加倍下注）
    被质疑后，他反而doubled down。
