高斋翻译Joy分享：steady和stable两个形容词都有“稳固的”意思。这两个单词在CATTI备考、MTI备考、考研英语备考、经济学人外刊精读、专四专八、四六级、托福雅思里面经常遇到：
1. steady指保持平衡不动摇，多用于有形物，指没有根基的稳固，也指动中的稳；也可用于修饰无形的物。例：
①He reached for a cigarette and lit it，fingers rock steady.
他伸手拿了一支烟点着，手指纹丝不动。《柯林斯词典》
②It is hard to hold a steady position on the beam.
在平衡木上保持平衡是很困难的。
③Get as close to the subject as you can and hold the camera steady．
尽量靠近拍摄对象，拿稳相机。《柯林斯词典》
2. stable多指根基牢固，平衡良好，也指性格、价格、位置等的稳定，不可移动或改变。例：
①Prices are stable and the market is brisk.
物价稳定，市场繁荣。《汉英大词典》
②The injured man was in a stable condition．
