ABIDE in Context
“When it comes to the quality of recording, mixing and mastering, the industry standard is quite flexible. ‘Mostly it comes down to taste and finding someone with the skill set to achieve a desired outcome,’ says Adam McDaniel, co-owner of Drop of Sun Studios in West Asheville. ... ‘But the subjective qualities of tone and fidelity are dictated by the songs and the artists preference. Personally, I cant abide an attitude of ‘thats good enough.’ If something can be better, then lets go further.’” — Edwin Arnaudin, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, North Carolina), 10 Aug. 2022

Did You Know?
Abide has abided in the English language since before the 12th century, picking up along the way several meanings and inflections that are now rare or no longer in use. For instance, one of abide’s former meanings was “to stop” and its former past participle was abidden (whereas we now use abided or abode). Today, abide often turns up in the phrase “cant abide” to say that someone cannot tolerate or accept something. The expression abide by, which means “to accept and be guided by (something),” is also common. Related terms include abiding, meaning “continuing for a long time” or “not changing” (as in “an abiding friendship”), abidance (“continuance” or “the act or process of doing what you have been asked or ordered to do”), and abode (“the place where someone lives”).
12世纪前,Abide就一直存在于英语中,沿袭了一些现在已经很少或不再使用的含义和词形变化。例如,以前adide 其中一个意思是“停止”,它以前的过去分词是“abidden”(而我们现在用的是“abded”或“abode”)。今天,abide 经常出现在短语“cant according”中,表示某人不能容忍或接受某事。 abide 意思是“to accept and be guided by (something)「接受(某物)并受其引导」”。相关术语 abiding,意思是“continuing for a long time「持续很长时间」”或“not changing「不改变」”(如“an abiding friendship「长久的友谊」”),abidance(“continuance「持续」”或“the act or process of doing what you have been asked or ordered to do「被要求或命令做的事情的行为(或过程 )」”)和 abode(“the place where someone lives「某人居住的地方」”)。
