adj.形容词
firm, hard, solid这三个词都可表示“坚硬的”“坚定的”。其区别是： firm指组织与构造是坚韧的,不容易因拉伸、弯曲而变形,暗示稳定或坚固; hard指厚实或坚硬,能抵抗压力,几乎不能压缩、拉伸或挖掘或极度执著,有顽固之意; solid指结构很坚固,密度一致,有很强的稳定性,能抵抗任何压力。例如: I took a firm hold on the rope.我牢牢地抓住了绳子。

n.名词
firm, company, corporation, partnerships参见company条。 company，corporation，firm这些名词均可表示“公司”之意。 company多指生产或销售产品的公司、商号，也可指经办服务性项目的公司。 corporation多指一个人拥有或多人联办的大公司，也指在其它地区或国家拥有分公司的公司。 firm含义广泛，可指公司、商行或商号。规模可大可小，经营、管理的人员可多可少。 steady，firm这一对形容词意思很接近。 steady则意为“稳固的”，“扎实的”，强调保持平衡不动摇，如指有形物，则指根基的稳固；也可用于指运动中的平稳。 firm常译为“坚固的”，“坚决的”，表示具体的事物地位牢固不易动摇；也可表示意志、信仰的“坚定”。 14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古典拉丁语的firmus，意为稳定，恒定。
