[注意] stick out與keep to 均有“堅(jiān)持”的含義。stick out 特指“堅(jiān)持下功夫 干一件事，不完成決不收兵”；而keep to 則強(qiáng)調(diào)“堅(jiān)持、遵守、堅(jiān)守”諾言、 規(guī)則、原則、精神、崗位�？梢�，keep to 的英文釋義為 ability by；adhere to，stick closely to。例如: keep to one's promise(遵守諾言)；keep to the rules of a game(遵守比賽規(guī)則)；keep to a principle(堅(jiān)持原則)；keep one's pos(堅(jiān)守崗位)。因此，我們可以說(shuō)keep to相當(dāng)于 stick to，而區(qū)別于 stick out.
