Stand in for的意思

"Stand in for" is an English phrase that means to substitute or represent someone else, often in a temporary or emergency capacity. It can refer to standing in physically to take someone's place, such as in a photo or at an event, or it can mean to act on someone's behalf, such as in a job or during a meeting.

Here are a few examples of how "stand in for" might be used in different contexts:

  1. The actor had to stand in for the director during the rehearsal.
  2. The understudy stood in for the lead actor when he was sick.
  3. The teacher asked a student to stand in for her during the class presentation.
  4. The model stood in for the designer at the fashion show.
  5. The assistant had to stand in for the CEO at the press conference.

In each of these examples, the person "standing in" is taking the place of someone else, either to perform a role or to represent them in some way.
