正确说法

• 在价值多元、利益复杂的时代，坚守内心道德信念并不容易，需要超越诱惑的力量和承受误解的韧性。(In an era of diverse values and complex interests, it is not easy to hold fast to one's moral convictions; it requires strength beyond temptation and the resilience to bear misunderstanding.)
• 几代科学家甘愿在条件简陋的基层科研岗位上默默坚守，用数十年如一日的专注与奉献，推动了这一基础学科从无到有、从弱到强的历史性跨越。(Generations of scientists were willing to quietly hold fast to grassroots scientific research positions under simple conditions, using their focus and dedication — the same day after day for decades — to drive the historic leap of this fundamental discipline from nothing to something, from weak to strong.)

错误说法

• 坚守 implies determined, principled maintenance of a position under pressure. Do not use it merely for staying in a place (use 留在 or 待在) or for maintaining a habit (use 坚持). 坚守 always implies there is something challenging or costly about maintaining the position.
