    小知识

    Stoop means to lean your head and torso forward and down. If you're six feet tall and you tour a historical building, you'll have to stoop to get through the low doorways.

    Stoop comes from the same root as steep. You can stoop to clear a doorway, or stoop metaphorically, by lowering your morals. If you slouch and droop, you are stooping. When owls quickly descend on their prey, that's also called stooping. Last but not least, a stoop refers to a small porch or the stairs leading up to a front entrance of a house, but that meaning is from the Dutch word stoep, “flight of steps, doorstep, or threshold.”

    这组词都可表示“屈尊”。其区别在于stoop不仅指降低人格或尊严去干与身份不相称的事情，而且暗示道德的堕落，有可耻的意味；condescend指地位、身份较高或权力较大的人屈尊去同地位较低的人交往，也可指对自视不如自己的人摆出屈尊俯就或恩赐的态度；deign则指性格傲慢、目中无人的人认为降低自己的身份去做某事，常同否定词连用，暗示不屑做某事。stoop,bend这两动词均可表示“弯腰，弯曲”之意。stoop通常用于人，指屈膝降低身体高度或低头弯腰。常引申作屈从或不顾尊严。bend指人指物皆可，含义广，指任何弯曲的动作。可引申作屈从解。
