意味
to remain committed to a choice.
文化的背景
In Danish workplaces, 'at holde fast ved sin beslutning' is respected if you have professional arguments, reflecting the flat hierarchy where everyone's input matters. There is a shared cultural value of 'mod' (courage) in standing by one's word, often linked to old Norse ideals of honor. Danish business culture values efficiency. If a decision is made, 'holding fast' is seen as a way to avoid 'spildtid' (wasted time) on endless re-discussions. Danish politicians are often criticized for 'løftebrud' (broken promises). Therefore, 'at holde fast' is a key rhetorical tool to signal reliability.
The Preposition Trick
Associate 'ved' with 'vedholdende' (persistent). Both start with 'ved' and relate to sticking to things!
Don't be too 'stædig'
While 'holde fast' is positive, if you do it too much without reason, Danes might call you 'stædig' (stubborn), which is less flattering.
