　　[注意] stick out與keep to 均有“堅持”的含義。stick out 特指“堅持下功夫干一件事，不完成決不收兵”；而keep to 則強調“堅持、遵守、堅守”諾言、規則、原則、精神、崗位。可見，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(遵守比賽規則)；keep to a principle(堅持原則)；keep one's pos(堅守崗位)。因此，我們可以說keep to相當于 stick to，而區別于 stick out.
