She holds her family's traditionsdear and celebrates them every year.（她珍視家庭的傳統並每年慶祝它們。）
The clamp is used tohold the pieces of wood in place while the gluedries.（這個夾子用於在膠水乾燥時將木片固定在原位。）
2 令某人抱有尊敬之情 或 敬畏之心：

3 hold sb hostage扣押某人當 人質 (此片語中的 hostage 恆為單數)
The terroristsheld the diplomatshostage until their demands were met.（恐怖分子劫持了外交官，直到他們的要求得到滿足。）
4 描述與某人的互動或支持：

She held my hand through the entireprocess, and I couldn't have done it without her.（她在整個過程中一直支持、鼓勵我，沒有她我做不到。）
The journalistheld the politician's feet to the fire, demanding answers to tough questions.（記者迫使政治家承擔責任，回答棘手的問題。）
「hold someone's feet to the fire」這個表達的典故來自於一種可能的刑訊手段，即將被審訊者的腳放在火上，用以逼迫其交待真相或供認。雖然這種方法在現代不再被實際使用，但這個表達在英語中用來表示強迫某人承擔責任、交待事實，或接受審查，通常是在嚴厲的情況下。
5 控制情感或行為：
hold one's breath屏住呼吸 hold your head up high 保持自尊 hold your horses等一下，別急
We held our breath as the final moments of the game unfolded.（當比賽的最後時刻展開時，我們屏住了呼吸。）
Despite the challenges, she held her head up high and continued topursue her goals.（盡管面臨挑戰，她仍然保持自尊，並繼續追求她的目標。）
Hold your horses! We're not leaving until everyone is here.（等一下！在大家都到齊之前我們不會離開。）
「hold your horses」這個表達的典故與馬匹有關。在駕馭馬匹的時候，有時需要拉緊繮繩來使馬匹停下來或減緩速度。這個表達最早來源於駕馭馬匹的指示，意為讓馬匹暫停前進，保持穩定。後來，這個表達在口語中引申為告誡他人要冷靜、耐心等待。就像駕馭馬匹需要控制它們的速度一樣，這個表達暗示人們不要過於匆忙或衝動，而是要保持冷靜、等待合適的時機。
