How it's used
Often used in formal or academic contexts to describe a person's underlying inclination or ideological direction. While it appears in everyday conversation regarding politics or social issues, it sounds slightly more intellectual than using words like 立場 or 態度. It is frequently paired with specific modifiers to define the nature of the tendency.
Examples
What do you think of his political stance?
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this to mean a physical direction or a simple preference, as it implies a deeper, more structured set of values or a consistent pattern of choice. It is not a direct substitute for 鍾意 or 選擇.
