※ 引述《charly (lasciate ogni speranza)》之銘言：
: 兩者的意思似乎非常接近 都有堅持、維持某事的意思
: 字典上的例句是這樣：
: --Would you like some wine?
: No, I'll stick to beer, thanks.
: --We don't want to hear your opinion; stick to the facts.
: --I'm sticking with my original idea.
: --Stick with me, and you’ll be all right.
: 所以差別是在於 'stick to' 的適用範圍較狹隘 只有當存在其他選項時才這麼使用
: 而'stick with' 的用法較廣泛、籠統？
: 請多指教 謝謝!
