"hang in there"并不是说“挂在那里”,这个短语的含义是不管遇到怎样的困难或挑战,都要坚持下去,不要放弃。这个短语常用来鼓励某人在艰难时刻保持毅力和希望。 例如:小王最近因为工作非常繁忙而感到筋疲力尽,他的朋友安慰他说:“再坚持一下,忙完这一段就轻松了。Hang in there, 你能做到的!”

起源
1963 年,摄影师维克多-鲍德温(Victor Baldwin)出版了他的作品《被遗弃的小猫》(The Outcast Kitten ),书中展示了他的小猫萨西(Sassy)幽默地悬挂在竹子上的画面,标题写着"hang in there, baby"。这幅图片随后作为海报出售,成为平面设计史上最早也是最流行的激励性语录之一。
