用stand tall表达“昂首挺胸”

如果我们说某人 stands tall 很神气地站在那儿，意思就是说此人满怀自信、自豪。

• Our athletes stand tall after winning many gold medals at this year‘s Olympics.
• The critics thought the movie was awful, but its director stands tall as he heads for tonight‘s Oscars ceremony.

值得注意的是，短语 a tall order 的意思是难以完成的任务、苛求。

• My teacher wants me to write three essays for next week. That‘s a tall order!
