短释义：
The word stall implies stopping something that will start again — a horse will leave the stall eventually and start moving, a stalled car can be restarted. Remember that when you’re thinking about stall in the sense of postpone or delay. You can stall your professor from giving an exam by talking about last night’s big game. Your little sister can stall going to bed by asking for one more story. If you want to delay an approaching army, you might steal their boots — they’ll still come but the “stall tactic” will buy you time.
停顿意味着停止或延迟。如果你的车熄火了，它就会停下来。当你想让马停下来时，你可以把它放在马厩里，或者谷仓里的小围栏里。

“失速”这个词意味着停止某些将重新开始的事情——一匹马最终会离开马厩并开始移动，一辆熄火的汽车可以重新启动。请记住，当您考虑推迟或延迟意义上的停顿时。你可以通过谈论昨晚的大型比赛来阻止你的教授考试。你的妹妹可以通过要求再讲一个故事来拖延睡觉时间。如果你想拖延一支逼近的军队，你可能会偷他们的靴子——他们仍然会来，但“拖延战术”将为你赢得时间。

词源：
stall (n.1)[place in a stable for animals] Middle English stalle, from Old English steall “standing place, any fixed place or position, state; place where cattle are kept, stable; fishing ground,” from Proto-Germanic *stalli- (source also of Old Norse stallr “pedestal for idols, altar; crib, manger,” Old Frisian stal, Old High German stall “stand, place, stable, stall,” German Stall “stable,” Stelle “place”).
This is perhaps from PIE *stol-no-, suffixed form of root *stel- “to put, stand, put in order,” with derivatives referring to a standing object or place. Compare stallion, install.
Several meanings, including that of “a stand for selling” (mid-13c., implied in stallage), probably are from (or influenced by) Anglo-French and Old French estal “station, position; stall of a stable; stall in a market; a standing still; a standing firm” (12c., Modern French étal “butcher’s stall”). This, along with Italian stallo “place,” stalla “stable” is a borrowing from a Germanic source from the same root as the native English word.
The sense of “booth or bench for selling merchandise, money-changing, etc.” is by late 14c. The meaning “partially enclosed fixed seat in a choir” is attested from c. 1400; that of “urinal or divided compartment in a series in a lavatory” is by 1967. The word formerly was used more broadly; in Middle English, to stand stall was “to be of help or avail;” a homestall (Old English hamsteal) was a homestead, a finger-stall a thimble or finger of a glove.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
摊位（n.1）[动物马厩中的地方] 中古英语stalle，源自古英语stell“站立的地方，任何固定的地方或位置，状态；饲养牛的地方，马厩；渔场”，源自原始日耳曼语*stalli-（也源自古斯堪的纳维亚语stallr“偶像的基座、祭坛；婴儿床、马槽”、古弗里斯兰语stal、古高地德语stall“站立、放置、马厩、摊位”、德语Stall“马厩”、Stelle“地方” ）。这可能来自 PIE *stol-no-，词根 *stel- 的后缀形式，“放置、站立、按顺序放置”，派生词指的是站立的物体或地方。比较种马，安装。几个含义，包括“出售的摊位”（13世纪中期，隐含在stallage中），可能来自（或受其影响）英法和古法语estal“站，位置；马厩的摊位；马厩中的摊位”市场；静止不动；站立的坚定”（12c.，现代法语 étal“屠夫摊位”）。这个词与意大利语的“stallo”“地方”、“stalla”“稳定”都是从日耳曼语来源借用的，与母语英语单词的词根相同。 “出售商品、兑换货币等的摊位或长凳”的含义。到了14世纪末。 “唱诗班中部分封闭的固定座位”的含义由 c 证明。 1400； “厕所中一系列小便池或分隔隔间”的定义是在 1967 年。以前这个词的使用范围更广。在中古英语中，stand stop 的意思是“有帮助或有用”； a homestall（古英语 hamsteal）是一个宅基地、一个指套、顶针或手套的手指。相关条目及更多
