Cách sử dụng
The expression "sit/stand silently by" means to not take any action or speak out about something that is happening. It is often used in situations where someone witnesses something wrong or harmful but chooses to do nothing about it. For example, if a person sees someone being bullied and does not intervene, they are said to be sitting or standing silently by. This expression can also be used in a more figurative sense, such as when someone witnesses an injustice in society and fails to speak out or take action. It is important to use this expression responsibly and not to condone inaction in situations where it is necessary to speak out or take action.
