小知识
Whether it's used as a noun or a verb, the word halt means stop. You can remember this by remembering that when you step on the brake to halt your car (verb), it comes to a halt (noun).
English draws on both Romance and Germanic languages, and halt is one that comes from the Old High German haltmachen, which means “to hold.” The word suggests a stoppage in the midst of action, and a Chinese proverb states, “We are not so much concerned if you are slow as when you come to a halt.” Consider, also, that a less-used definition of the word is that of “lame” or disabled, which still ties in with the idea of stopping.

halt,cease,discontinue,stop。
这组词都可表示“中断”“停止”。它们的区别在于:1.在指某种状态或活动的结束时,stop和cease可以互换。2.stop是这几个词当中概念最广泛,使用最多、最普通的词。cease的概念较窄,语气较严肃,是正式用语。discontinue也是正式用语。3.stop既可指运动或行为的迅速中断,又可指某种状态或活动的结束;cease主要指某种状态或活动的结束或不复存在;discontinue则指长期存在着的习惯或习惯性的活动中止了;halt指骤然有力地终止。(”ci”:”cease,pause,stop,halt,quit,end。这些动词都含有“停止”的意思。cease指逐渐、徐徐中止某种状态的存在。书面用词。pause指暂时的、瞬间的停顿,隐含有再进行的意思。stop指动作、运行、进展等被停下来,含突然、断然的意味。halt侧重突然地、决定性地终止、停止某一活动。quit指最终彻底停止某事,有时暗示遭到失败或面临挫折。end多指“自然的结束”。如:
