第一, 词海拾贝
stick to one’s guns
exp. To remain determined, resolute, or steadfast in one's opinion, belief or to refuse to be persuaded by someone else into believing or doing something one does not agree with.(坚持原则,坚定立场)
e.g. The prosecution is going to try to trip you up with your statement and your alibi, but so long as you stick to your guns, there's nothing to worry about.
控方会试图用你的陈述和不在场证明来绊倒你,但只要你坚持自己的立场,没有什么可担心的。
e.g. I really admire Jess for sticking to her guns during college, and not submitting to the peer pressure of those around her to drink or do drugs.
我真的很佩服Jess在大学期间坚持自己的立场,不屈服于周围同龄人的压力去喝酒或吸毒。
e.g. I have to admire the ladies who fifty years ago worked so hard to get women the right to vote. People laughed at them at first but they stuck to their guns and got the congress to pass the 19th Amendment back in 1920.
我很钦佩以前那些女士们,她们五十年前努力为妇女争取选举权。开始,许多人都笑话她们。但是,她们坚定不移,最后在1920年终于促使国会通过了美国宪法的第十九项修正案。
e.g Pumpkin, I hear that some of the students at your school are fooling around with drugs. But I hope, young woman, that you stick to your guns and keep saying no!
小鬼,我听说你们学校的学生里有吸毒的现象。我希望你坚持正道,坚决抵制这种恶习!

Why fool around with a lock when you can smash the door down?
既然你能把门砸开,干吗要傻里傻气地摆弄锁呢?
2. say no:拒绝
e.g. I say no once for all.
我断然拒绝。
e.g. You should never say no to the boss if you don't want to lose your job.
如果你不想失去工作,就要服从上司。
