| take a stand 确定自己的立场 Explanation: When do we take a stand? 我们几时要确定自己的立场？ As to your question of "Take a stand on what?", one of the sentences says, "Few of us can afford the time or effort to take care of every needy person we encounter.", so I think it is to take a stand on how much to take care of needy people that we encounter. |

| take a stand 明确立场 Explanation: 如果修饰“立场”的话，用“明确”或许会比“确定”更精确 另外似乎不需要特别强调立场是“自己的”，因为从上下文可以推断出这一含义 供参考 |

决断 Explanation: 我能想到最切合此兩難困境的譯法是「決斷」，提出來討論～ 釋 義 1. 做決定、拿主意。《呂氏春秋．仲秋紀．決勝》：「勇則能決斷。」《舊唐書．卷一○五．宇文融傳》：「融乃馳傳巡歷天下，……省司亦待融指撝而後決斷。」 2. 判定、斷定。《新唐書．卷四六．百官志一》：「六曰決斷不滯，與奪合理，為判事之最。」 3. 決定事情的魄力。《三國演義》第二回：「進本是沒決斷之人，聽太后言，唯唯而出。」《初刻拍案驚奇》卷六：「那巫娘子見賈秀才幹事決斷，賈秀才見巫娘子立志堅貞，越相敬重。」1. 做決定、拿主意。《呂氏春秋．仲秋紀．決勝》：「勇則能決斷。」《舊唐書．卷一○五．宇文融傳》：「融乃馳傳巡歷天下，……省司亦待融指撝而後決斷。」 判定、斷定。《新唐書．卷四六．百官志一》：「六曰決斷不滯，與奪合理，為判事之最。」 決定事情的魄力。《三國演義》第二回：「進本是沒決斷之人，聽太后言，唯唯而出。」《初刻拍案驚奇》卷六：「那巫娘子見賈秀才幹事決斷，賈秀才見巫娘子立志堅貞，越相敬重。」 Example sentence(s):
