To interrupt your movement, journey, or activity in order to do or get something. Often used when someone pauses to rest, eat, refuel, or handle another need.

用法与细微差别

Common in both casual and formal speech, especially when traveling or on the road. Typically followed by a reason, as in 'stop for lunch', 'stop for gas'. Not the same as 'stop to', which focuses on the purpose of stopping rather than the event or object.
